  1. Low GPA, should I get it up or go for LPN?

    stephanie30 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did college for a year after high school, I never went to class and failed some classes and didn't get good grades in most of the ones I passed. That was just over 10 years ago now. I planned to...

    stephanie30 posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Sorry if this has been asked I am new to the forum. I need to take both. Which study guide is best? The last date to take the HESI is October 21st. The TEAS dates are around the same times. Since I...

  3. Low GPA, should I get it up or go for LPN?

    stephanie30 replied to stephanie30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I could have almost a 4.0 for the RN program that is just starting. They do a point system and only go by GPA in the prereqs and HESSI score. They don't have an overall GPA requirement, just a...

    stephanie30 replied to stephanie30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just found out that the school that has the LPN program is starting an RN program for Fall 2014. I have most of it done. They only require the GPA from the prereqs not an overall GPA! I am still...

    stephanie30 replied to stephanie30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think for my overall it will take like 90 credit hours maintaining a 3.5 to get it up. The BSN program here is not good anyway. I really screwed up my GPA! My friend at church is going through...

  6. Is it right to pursue nursing if the school is 2 hrs away from husband & kids?

    stephanie30 replied to fbanh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would personally not do it, but I have my own reasons. I have seen marriages torn apart because they chose careers in different states or countries etc. We are a military family so I cannot even...

  7. Low GPA, should I get it up or go for LPN?

    stephanie30 replied to stephanie30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sadly we live literally in the middle of no where. There are only 3 options. 1 BSN program that is not very good, 1 ADN that is very good and 1 LPN program that is good. The ADN program is already 1...

    stephanie30 replied to HeatherMax's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I haven't started my application process yet, but I e-mailed the program and they said I needed at least a 56 to apply but people who get in usually get in the high 60's. Maybe the program you are...

  10. Low GPA, should I get it up or go for LPN?

    stephanie30 replied to stephanie30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I looked into it and I see some benefits. I am not sure it works for my situation though. My husband is military and since we move around so I don't think it will work. Not all states recognize it...

    I haven't heard of Excelsior. I will look into it.

  13. Low GPA, should I get it up or go for LPN?

    stephanie30 replied to stephanie30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is the quicker to work route for sure. The LPN program has excellent first time NCLEX-PN pass rates and they never take more than a day to get back with me about my million questons. There are...

  14. Low GPA, should I get it up or go for LPN?

    stephanie30 replied to stephanie30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know long term I might need to do that anyway, but it just seems like a waste of money and time. I am already 30 with no job experience. My problem is not that the classes were too hard, just that...
