Will I ever get accepted in the Miami Dade College nursing program?

Hey there! I am 20 years old and I just started as a Full-Time Generic Nursing student. You are fine so do not panic! With students who have a B-Average with their Science GPA, they are looking for you to score at least an 84 on the TEAS. IF for whatever reason you do not get an 84 but still get a passing score (over 64 or 66, I believe), submit it anyway and sit down and speak to an advisor. They are going to suggest you take it again and study harder. It is up to you to decide, however I do suggest you try taking it again. The practice textbook is very worth the buy and it's dummy-proof! You want to show the advisors that you are fighting to get in no matter what you have to do and they will guide you. Be persistent!! You seem to be a great student, don't give up.

I am almost done with all my pre-reqs, with one more class to take during the summer and hopefully ill be able to apply to the program. And unfortunately, im doing good, but, not as good as others. im a pure B student and if take the average all of my science classes i'd still be a 3.(1+) gpa. i have not taken the TEAS test yet, but right now im kind of losing my motivation (and mind), because i'd still stay at 3.(1+) gpa when i do finish all my pre-requisites. is there any hope left for me? i really want to get in the program... and thinking about this stress me out.

You will be able to get in if you nail the TEAS. In generic they have people with similar gpa. There is also part time option. Unfortunately in accelerated (where I am) there is no one with gpa below 3.9. So good luck. Take teas ASAP and retake it later if u you don't do that well.
