Tell me your GPA. Just wanna compare

[mahkev2000]

I was wondering what the GPA of the average student applying to an accelerated program is. Mine is 3.6. Is this good? Do you think I am in a good position for being accepted? Do you guys thinks being a male helps in getting accepted? I was just wondering as there are so few male nurses out there. Just looking to see what my chances are. By the way, I am applying to NYU's accelerated program, so if there are any guys out there who are doing the same or have gone through their program I would really like to hear from you...

Thanks everyone!:nuke:

Once you are in the real world of nursing, GPA has no meaning. What did you learn in Nursing School as theory and practice and can you apply that knowledge appropriately, perhaps even save a life today. I know several highly ranked graduates from nursing school, meaing is the top 10% of the class and one was the class valedictorian and every one of them is misserable. The theory of nursing educaiton is not necessarily the reality of nursing, it is an ideal for performance. there are lots of intervening conditons as well as distractions during nursing care. Stop worrying about your GPA, focus on the learning and practice of the profession. My GPA is nobodys business.

I know this is true, but still you need to have both excellent gpa and excellent clinical skills to become a great nurse. See many people, only want to become nurses for money, job security, and like "helping people". Many nurses are in need in the academia to help nurses and patients alike through research.

If academia and research are your interest in your future, then GPa will have some bearing on your future plans. I have other plans which have no need for my GPA outside of school. I am not much of a theory guy, so I will stay at the bedside until I can't lift a patient anymore. Good luck to you.

At Indiana University I haven't heard of anyone getting in without at least a 3.7 GPA. I'm in the accelerated program here and got in with a 3.8. Best of luck.

Overall 3.2

Nursing 3.77

[Taxminia0311]

Last time I knew it was about 3.5

[Anoetos, BSN, RN]

Still 4.0 but only 28 credits in, I expect it to diminish once I get into clinicals. I guess the wonky idea for me has been to keep my lecture/lab GPA high so that it can be offset by clinical and NURS (critical thinking) classes if it turns out that I struggle there at first.

First time when I went to college (about 12 years ago) my GPA was 2.3. Simply couldn't figure out how to study after all night partying.. lol.. Just got accepted in the nursing program with 3.7 GPA and 92% HESI score.

Last time I checked it I had a 3.5 G.P.A and besides GPA and NET or Teas Test aren't a required in order to enter the LPN Program here in Lorain, Ohio.

The only requirednt are 3 pre-requists (Inro- Biology, Pschy, Sociology,,, and you have to be a CNA (STA) that all, then you're placed in the waiting list which it isn't that bad. I really can't wait to have my all of requirent dont with...:)
