Do I have to make straight A's to stay in a nursing program?

I heard today that in order to stay in a nursing program, I have to make straight A's. I get two chances to make an A in a class, and if I don't make an A, I get dropped from the program. Is this true?

I heard from a girl currently in a nursing program, and a woman who is an RN.

You have to get a near 4.0 to get in to a program, in most areas, but only a C or better to stay in. There are just so few seats, it gets more competitive every year.

Where did you "hear" this from? The school or a school representative? Or another student?

I know that I have seen many nurses that no way received As. If they did then I really question the validity of the program.

yes

My mom is a Registered Nurse, I just asked her your question, she said "No, you just have to make a "C" or higher."

Depends on the program. I also heard that most community college programs are requiring straight A's in all prereq's and good SAT scores for admission.
I am a really smart guy and I only made B's in chemistry!
I would check with the coordinator of your current (or intended program) to see what information applies.

I would say that it depends on the nursing program. The CRNA program at the school I went to had straight A's as a requirement (but that was an extremely grueling graduate program and would consider it an exception rather than the norm). But once you're in nursing school, I doubt you would have to maintain a 4.0 GPA; getting accepted to nursing school, however, while not required it does tend to help if you have straight A's....

One nursing program with which I was affiliated required a 3.5 or better for admission, a B in all courses to stay in the course work or it had to be repeated and a 3.5 for graduation. However, most only require a C to stay in, I knew a few C nurses when I was in my BSN program, but the ones I knew of all failed the RN exams
