Well it’s kind of hard to think of one school that accept low GPA since nursing for the past years has become very competitive. I understand the situation you’re in and how frustrating it can be. I would recommend you to invest some money…meaning choose 20 to 30 schools and send your application. Some ask for entrance test (Teas, HESI ect) study for the test really hard. Some school, although your GPA might be low; as long as you get a strong score on the test you’re good. Others rely on GPA only yet ask you to write an essay for why you choose nursing. Take time to write a good essay because it will stand out. Now you might read my post and say she must be crazy to advice me to apply to 20-30 school. Does she know how much that cost? Well I know. But when it comes to investing in your education it is never a lost…always a gain. I’ve done the same thing in the past since South Florida is full of people trying to do nursing and although I have a strong GPA, there are very limited seat.

Since I'm from the caribbean I had the same problem. As long as you have the result of the chest X-ray that indicate you dont have the disease you should get accepted. So, don't worried about that:)

I will have to agree with most users here. Most of the time it is very difficult to decline especially if you're trying not to disappoint anyone. And when that happens everyone else is happy while you on the inside you're boiling with anger. it's not good either for your peace of mind and your health. So, stand up for your right by addressing the matter in a professional manner and say no.

@ Kellz 321 I'm also starting the nursing program this fall at Bethune Cookman. Who knows we might have classes together. Let me ask you did you do your figerprinting and drug screening as yet?:)

Well as a pre nursing student all you'll be doing is taking the pre requisites such as biology, microbiology and lab, anatomy & physiology I and II...and so much more classes. Basically, try to have good grades in all those classes more A's I suggest. After you done with your pre requi, you can now apply to the program and take the teas test. How to make your application stand out depends on GRADES nothing else. Apply yourself and you should get in.
