What EXACTLY is a Nursing GPA?

[healthcare4life]

1. Does it only concern those courses with the Nursing prefix?

2. Does it concern GPA from the time you started college to the time you finished?

3. OR does it concern WHATEVER CLASSES you take (including Nursing courses) while in the Nursing program?

Kinda confused here. Any help is appreciated.

Your nursing GPA is the grade point average of all of the nursing courses you have taken during your college career. For example, an English composition class would not be included in your nursing GPA. However, an advanced med/surg nursing class would be taken into account when figuring your nursing GPA.

Your overall GPA is the grade point average of every single college level course that you have taken during your postsecondary career, including nursing courses, courses from other majors, and general education classes.

Your prerequisite GPA is the grade point average of all of the prerequisite classes that are required for your nursing program such as A&P, nutrition, etc.

It's weird that you mention that because in my program there's only about 9-10 Nursing courses that count toward our GPA.. or is that average for other programs as well?

The other nursing courses have to be taken strictly credit/no credit

That sounds to be about right. A lot of our classes are pass/fail credits -- but the work doesn't feel like a pass/fail class!
