  14. 4.0 in nursing school?

    LovelyInPink replied to RubySlippers:)'s topic in General Students

    While I do agree that it can depend on the school one goes to, the school I attend actually sets a higher bar than the other area schools. One needs to maintain an 80% or higher in order to progress...

    LovelyInPink replied to Jonsushi's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hey Jonsushi. I think I probably replied to your other post about GRCC and the ready date but I don't believe I mentioned what my wait was. The 2 year wait is actually shorter than what the lists have...
