There was a nurse that I oriented, was an RN less than a year and got into a Psych NP Program with less than a year of nursing experience. Now she has graduated and working in an advanced practive capacity with less than 3 years of nursing. Scares me. Started a post on another site about how bad the vaccine was (this was when it first came out). Doesn't even know the pathophysiology of mRNA and how the that vaccine works.
You should not have any issues getting into grad school. I agree w/PP though-why rush? get some decent experience. If you are anxious now, how are you going to feel when you are the one that others have to go to?

What's your big hurry on going to grad school so soon? You're not even close to getting to an expert level of practice in a year and a half. The purpose of grad schol is to educate you further on something you are already expert-ish in; you have to crave that extra level and have a specific goal in mind for what you will do with your advanced degree. I don't see anything about that here.
If you're not happy about your GPA, you can take some grad-level courses for credit as an unenrolled student to demonstrate your ability while you continue to grow as a nurse.
