May 21, 201016 yr Does anyone know of a good online RN to MSN school that doesn't require a 3.0 or higher in nursing classes? I only got a 2.75 while in nursing school.

May 21, 201016 yr I recommend checking out the state schools - see their websites. If one is close, go by or give a call. They are all in competition for students and it may depend on local market. Ask if taking a course to bring up the GPA would make a difference. Mine was mediocre too but I had an "A" in statistics, and did well on the GRE, so they let me in. I finished grad school with 4.0, partly because it was ALL about what I was interested in. Does not hurt to ask
May 21, 201016 yr I would ask individual schools how strict they are on the GPA requirement. Often if you have a great GRE score and outstanding letters of recommendation then they will consider the applicant even if their GPA is slightly lower than the minimum. I would also recommend possibly taking some courses over that you did not do well in to raise your GPA. Good luck!
May 21, 201016 yr check with Capstone it is a part of University of Alabama. I don't think they have a strict GPA requierment.
