RunnerRN2b2014, Thats the school i really want to go to-- but im nervous about my undergrad GPA-- I just graduated Dec '12 so its certainly in the time frame-- I did calculate my GPA for the sciences that would be required if i did the pre-nursing path and I have a 3.36 in those classes so im hoping that helps. Im taking my time off trying to improve my resume and make myself look better since my gpa is only a 2.9-- Thanks for the advice-- im really hoping it will work out.

lavendar19, I couldn't find anything about a program like that.. a lot of what im finding is ABSN and honestly they are just too expensive on top of my loans currently..But im similar to you in that im trying for a NP eventually as well. I wish you luck in your path. Thankzzz

nrobinson7, I thought that for MSN you need to become a RN first??? Honestly i was looking at some BSN programs but because my undergrad GPA is only a 2.98 they want me to retake a couple of classes and i dont have the finances for it. Especially since NCSU cost so much.. So currently im looking for ADN programs that pay 80% of your tuition back if you agree to work for them. But thank you so much.. Im gonna check that website out. :)

Hello, In HS I had a 3.78 GPA and went off to study animal science at another school before i realized i wanted to be a nurse. I recently completed my BS at NCSU with a 2.9 GPA (not so good) and I am enrolling in a CNA class that will finish in march. This way I can have medical experience before i apply to schools (CCHS, Cabarrus, CPCC & Mercy). I am very interested in going to Carolina College of Health Science but I have a few questions:: 1. The pre-nursing track guarantees admission with a 3.25 GPA from 4 classes HOWEVER I have a 3.36 GPA in 3 out of the 4 (a&p I&II, college math). So does this mean I shouldn't bother with pre-nursing track and just go for ADN?? 2. Since i completed a science degree already, will I have to retake any of the other classes for general ed. (i.e. ive already taken micro, soc, eng, and psy). -- should this give me a better chance??-- I also plan to take the TEAS exam for Mercy and CPCC but want to know if anyone has advice on what else i need to do before completing applications for FALL 2015. I know i have a year, but time goes by fast.
