I am a BSN student, currently in my junior year, who is considering grad school. All of the MSN programs I've looked at say you need a 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale. I'm curious--are they looking at your whole GPA, i.e. my first two years of Pre-Nursing and my last two years of the nursing program, or are they just looking at nursing program GPA? I can't find anywhere on their websites that say they only consider the last two years of the BSN program, but I'd like to be sure. Any help would be great!

Hello, I'm a BSN student who has trouble at times moving patients, i.e. from bed to wheelchair or shifting them. I'm pretty petite and I'm not the strongest person, so if a patient is too heavy, there's no chance I'd be able to move them. My question is two-fold: 1. What areas of nursing can I work in where physically moving a patient is not that common? 2. Who else has trouble with this? Please tell me I'm not alone. Aside from asking others for help, which I definitely do, is there a way to get better at moving patients? Thank you for all your help!
