A&P and microbiology aren't required but it's required for the nursing track in my school which I plan to take or took already. I don't plan on going to the nursing school from my school. These entrance exams, are they like the nursing version of MCATs?

What would your suggested min GPA be?

I am a biology major with a GPA of 2.7 and I am in my third year. I recently started to look into nursing because I like the idea of helping people on a more personal level and I also like working in busy/hectic environments. But after reading a few threads here, I am feeling a little discourage because of my GPA. Is there any way of "making up" my GPA without having to retake classes? Like, what sort of extracurricular activities do you guys recommend? I've never failed anything; I'm just an overall B- student The reason why I don't want to retake classes is because my major requires a lot from me and there's a chance I won't graduate in time if I retake classes. If someone can quickly explain what I'm suppose to do to get into nursing school, it would be great. I'm reading about nursing and it's a lot of information being throw at me. Is there an entry level exam to get into nursing school (like nursing version of GREs)? What's the difference between all the different licenses (LPN, RN, BSN)? I'm so confused.
