    Hello. the only thing that jobs look at when you are applying is the degree and licensure. It is not their job to look at your GPA. They only want you to have a degree from an accredited school and the RN license that you need to pass. it does not matter if you have a c, b, or a average. Some jobs look at whether you have an associates degree or a bachelors for certain positions but not GPA. You have to pass the NCLEX in order to practice as a nurse. Competitive jobs also look at experience rather than GPA. It you are going to a college to advance your degree; they will look at your GPA but not a JOB.

      I’m actually subscribed to quite a few new grad nurses whom have said otherwise! Also, I’ve looked at new grad applications and you’d be surprised at how many have a minimum GPA requirement!

      She’s actually right. I worked in Human Resources at a hospital (without disclosing my location) and you definitely have to bring your transcript (for new grads up to a certain number of years) as well as other required documents. If it’s someone who’s been doing it for over a certain amount of years, they only need to bring their actual Degree along with other required documents. The same goes for new Doctors and other occupations within the Healthcare field. They all have to do the same thing. If I could share “why” it’s important for the company to obtain those records, I would. But due to confidentiality, I can’t. Overall, she was given the correct information by whomever.

    I am excited for you reaching over 1000 subscribers!!! Congratulations. I am growing my channel and looking forward to reaching that milestone. Thanks for the tips. One thing I can share as an RN is that Jobs care less about your GPA and school you went to. Focus on getting that license and you will get a job.

    • @saunyaewatson
      @saunyaewatson  10 місяців тому +1

      Thank you!! But actually, the jobs that I want at the specific hospitals on their applications are normally saying at least 3.0 (some 3.2)+ GPA required ☺️ So I’m just going to keep it above that!

    I’m doing my prerequisites right now and while c’s get degrees do c’s get the job the first time around no so. I would say use tools that help you memorize the work you need to pass take it step by step. Me personally writing it down makes it stick better and don’t expect to memorize everything even doctors don’t have everything memorized they occasionally do need a refresh do not be afraid to say I need help and get other students who are feeling a little better about the test and grab someone who isn’t so confident maybe they will know the information you don’t and vice versa. In high school it always helps to find the odd one out and maybe a different explanation helps. My brother learns differently so Sometimes its just your learning style isn’t compatible with standard teaching.

      @saunyaewatson  10 місяців тому

    Hello Saunya'e, I enjoyed this informative video! You are absolutely right. It's okay not to get an "A" as long as you are doing your best, that is what matters. We work hard in nursing school and we should be proud of what we earn. The most important thing is that we are learning and passing our courses. On another note, where do you get your practice questions from?
