any nursing schools that will except a 2.0GPA?

Question

i have a 2.0GPA in my prereqs.looking for a nursing school that will except it.even if it is private.

Answer 1

Most RN schools have hundreds on applicants for a few class spots.. They will start with the GPA that is the highest and then go down... It's easier to get into LPN school..once u r an LPN, u can auto transfer to a RN program... If u have any classes u can re take (college) re take them and that would help a lot.. GL

Answer 2

I'm not sure, but once you are in school for nursing, all of your science courses have to be a C or above. That means a C- is flunking. The best students are in the nursing classes. If you are a C student now you may have challenges ahead of you. Try a community tech school program (2 yr. RN) and take the Compass exam and see where you are at. You may have to take a few extra courses but if you work at it, you might get in.

Answer 3

most won't even look at any application with any GPA less than 3.5, but it all depends on how you did in your science classes (need at least a B in anatomy & physiology, microbiology, chemistry, etc.).

Try looking at community colleges that have a two year associates degree technical program for nursing. Community colleges don't put so much weight on GPA; they look at how many pre-reqs you've done, how you did in the science classes, and usually an entrance exam or placement testing.

Answer 4

Firstly, it's "accept".

And it's doubtful. Private schools are definitely the ones that will not accept such a low GPA. I don't even think my local technical schools accept that. :( You should consider an alternate career.

Answer 5

WITH SUCH A LOW GPA I DOUBT ANY SCOOL WOULD ACCEPT YOU. TRY A NURSING ASSISTANT.

Answer 6

No I just did a search on http://www.petersons. And yeah you do have to have a 3.5GPA or better.
