Question about getting into nursing school

[cfitz]

I live in Marin and want to apply to the local RN programs. This might sound silly, but can some of you tell me sort of how your grades were and did you get accepted or denied from some/ all?

Basically, do I need all A's to get in to nursing school, and should I even bother if I have a stray C in there? Is the competition pulling 4.0's in their prereq's?

In California, most, but certainly not all, CCs and University programs are impacted. This allows them to be VERY selective, which is why a great many people are turning to the private education sector to fulfill their dreams of becoming a nurse.

Western Career College (very expensive) and Unitek College (moderately expensive) are the two main choices. Both have LVN programs (not sure about RN).

Most of the CCs and University programs have gone to waiting lists and/or the lottery system.

Good Luck.
