Can I still get into Nursing school with a low GRE score?

I JUST TOOK THE GRE YESTERDAY AND I GOT A 750 V/M SCORE. I STUDIED REALLY HARD AT LEAST 12HOURS A WEEK FOR TWO SOLID MONTHS. I GRADUATED WITH 3.3 GPA AND HONORS IN MY MAJOR IN BUSINESS. I'M TRYING TO GET IN A NURSING PROGRAM AND I REALLY HAVE STRONG RECOMMENDATION, GOOD ESSAY, AND I'M CURRENTLY TAKING A COURSE AT A COMMUNITY COLLEGE. I HAVE AN (A) IN THE COURSE. IS THERE ARE CHANCE THAT I CAN GET INTO THE NURSING SCHOOL WITH THIS LOW GRE TEST SCORE. I HAVE WORKED SO HARD FOR THIS. PLEASE HELP ME.

It looks like you are applying to one of the competitive school that offers BSN and Masters. Honestly, 750 is pretty low score and Business doesn't sound that you are really interested in nursing all long. What I would do is to apply for just a BSN program so that you don't waste your time waiting for another semester and maybe, volunteer at a nearby hospital.

I go to school in Arizona for BSN and they ask you to take a test called NET. I honestly think it's easier than GRE especially the math section. I also had a psychology degree with GPA of 3.5 and I still got rejected to one of the school that I have applied. The nursing school is really competitive now so you have to be top of the game. Like I said before, apply for less competitive schools and get some experience in a hopsital.

Best luck to you! :-)

I'm sure you can still get in. 750 isn't horrible. But I have to ask, why did you major in business?
