will volunteering at a hospital before being admitted really increase/help my chances of getting into a nursing program?tia!
definitely no...at least where i am in the northeast. all of the programs around the area (there are four) base admissions on a minimum gpa of 2.5 and then everyone goes on a waiting list - first come first served. you should contact the admissions office of the schools you plan on applying to and find out what they base their admissions on. lots of schools around the country have different criteria their applicants must meet. i've even heard of some schools doing whacky things like putting the student's names in a lottery (how cruel)!
i do, however, feel that volunteering and/or working as a cna can certainly provide a good foundation for when you start your nursing program!
