Pochitos what was your gpa when you applied if I may ask?

Hi I got a c in anat and physio and a b in micro. Is this not good enough to apply to the la rn program?

Hi I am planning on starting the VN program at Gurnick Academy in Modesto CA and wanted anyones insight about textbooks, exams, quizzes, the teachers, the HESI, nclex???? I am on state assistance and was wondering if financial aid will cover the tuition? I know it doesn't for the pre reqs. Thanks for any information.

I know this is an old thread but is there anyway for your tuition to be covered by financial aid and you only pay for $1600 for the prereqs? Also, I have done all my RN pre reqs at a community college; does anyone know if those transfer over?

Hi I am a student at Merced College finishing up my pre reqs into the RN program here. We are thinking of moving closer to Glendale so I was wanting to know what the gpa requirement is to apply at the GCC and what other classes are required to apply to the RN program? Also, is Glendale a nice place to live? I have 2 children also. Thanks for any help. Good luck to everyone applying and just keep praying. Your time will come. :)

Hi Dave_S I am in kind of the same situation as you. I have got all C's in my RN pre reqs and I have 1 more class to take. There is no way I am going to meet the gpa requirement to be able to apply. My school only allows 1 repeat so I have to take that repeat at another school since I did get a C in the science course. My school requires at least a 2.5 to apply and Ill only have a 2.4. I have found my reason for not getting A's which is great because some people go their whole lives just thinking their stupid and weren't meant to be a nurse. I know nursing is my calling and it is in my heart so I refuse to give up. Im just not sure if I should pursue LVN first and then a RN bridge program; that's a 3 year wait also to get into the LVN program also so Im so confused as to what to do right now. Good luck in what you decide to do.

Id like to ask what your GPA's were when you applied to the schools because mine is just barely at the minimum and Im scared of not getting in.

Im not sure. I haven't been there. Id have to look around at cities and schools and job market.

Thanks Meeh619, what is UTA? I am just about done with schooling now. Am registered to take my last class this fall.

Kvedaa, it is ridiculous! They tell me to go somewhere else to repeat it and then I try so I can get into the RN program, and no one will let me. Aleong29, my anatomy and physio classes are separate also, I just need to repeat them and the only thing I am finding online are them together which I don't think a lot of RN programs accept.

Which state are you in btw?

Ive called every school in my area and none of them allow a repeat of a C grade. I think this is so dumb because I tried really hard and got a C but someone that didn't try at all and got an F is allowed to repeat up to 3 times.

Hi, I took Anatomy and got a C in the class. My school or any school around my area, doesn't let us repeat a class unless we got a D, W, or F in the class. Is there anywhere online where I can repeat the Anatomy without being with the physiology class? I don't think the RN program allows the two classes together do they?

I am wanting to know what does the financial aid cover? I am on a very limited income so I am wanting to know can it cover all the tuition?

dia1010usa, did you figure anything out? Im kind of in the same boat you were in. My overall gpa is low also though at a 2.17. My science courses are C's and I still have micro left to take but Im actually thinking I wont get into any RN program so Im thinking of doing the LVN program first.
