I got all A's until A&P II - got a B in that one and a B in micro as well. They were hard classes. I worked my tail off and felt proud that I made a B. I graduate from a BSN program in May - took prerequisites at a community college. So, don't think that one B is going to decrease your chances of getting into a school. They look at all kinds of other things - and different schools do it differently. For my school they looked at the GPA from A&P I, II, Micro, Human Growth &Dev. together as "nursing prep" classes and then they looked at the entrance exam score and overall GPA. There was some kind of a points system. Those who had the most points got in. And, I got in at both my prereq school (ADN program) and the BSN program - it was harder to get into the ADN program!! 2500 applicants for 40 spots! As far as that grade being a predictor for how you will do in nursing school - maybe it is. I have gotten all A's and B's so far. My GPA is not as high as it was but it is still pretty good. And, when I graduate with my 3.59 GPA I will get the same degree I would have gotten with a higher GPA. Study hard and learn all you can in A&P - you will need that knowledge base for your future classes. Pathophysiology is just around the corner! : ) Good luck!

I went to GTC for all of my prerequisite classes. I agree with nrice28, the professors are great. I had a really great experience there. I got into the nursing program for this fall but decided to go elsewhere to get a BSN. It is super competitive to get into the program - 2500 people applied for this fall - around 300 met the requirements and only 40 spots in the program. Good luck! :)

Hi there! Gwinnett Tech no longer offers the LPN program. They have replaced it with the ADN program. The program is a step lock program starting each year in the fall. For the classes starting 2009 and 2010, they admitted 40 students each. The program is rather competitive. The deadline for application is in January with all mandatory pre-reqs being completed prior to the application date. Hope that helps!
