I am no where near and RN yet , just finished my 1st semester of nursing school. I am going to end up with a GPA between 3.04-3.23 depending on if 2 professors bump my grades as I am 1 point away from an A for one class and one point away from a B- for another. My dream job when I graduate would be to be a Pediatric Oncology nurse & I am wondering how much my GPA will effect my chances of that happening? I hear so many things about what your GPA means in nursing school. Some people say its everything and others say when you're done everyone is the same once you pass your NCLEX exam. So I am just interested to hear nurses who are currently out there in the work worlds take on what a GPA means when you are trying to get a job! Especially if you are near the field or ever have been of being a Peds Oncology nurse Thanks!
