  1. What was your GPA, when you got accepted into nursing school?

    whattodo4 replied to Kimynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    3.3. was my gpa. The official gpa to get in at the time was 3.0, the school has now raised it to a 3.3. When I was still applying as a prenursing student, on talking to current nursing students, they...

    whattodo4 replied to mrskrobbins's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    it seems for some schools CNA is no longer a recommendation rather it is now a requirement and if the school you are going to needs the CNA, then you know what to do. Still I think CNA is a pretty...
