There's more than one perspective.
FifthYear - as I said before. The ONLY guarantee is that if you don't rush, you won't get a bid. That is the only thing anyone here or anywhere else can promise you.
Your choice.

Hey, I thought my questions were valid. Your GPA does matter a lot to many chapters. She needs to keep that in mind, especially if she is going in as a senior in a rigorous program. I also want to note that FifthYear's "apology" was pretty backhanded. It reminds me of when my fiancé and I argue and he says something along the lines of, "I'm sorry that what I said hurt your feelings because you are sensitive." We joke about it--because he really does apologize but, I had to point out to him how some of his apologies have that kind of backhanded feel. By saying, "I'm sorry BUT...blah-blah-blah" people don't take you seriously. That would be something important for her to realize.
I think she has a poor attitude and I do not foresee her doing well in recruitment if she goes in with this thinking. I really cannot wait to see how her recruitment ends up because the way in which she acted was pretty entitled. I'm not a nurse but, AOPi Angel is a doctor (as noted here earlier) and I just love how the OP thinks she knows everything about her program. I agree with the poster that said if her clinicals are that easy--they do not want her as their nurse. Me either! No thanks! It's like when we have students come on here and talk about how easy graduate school will be and we have NO IDEA--it's like, I have an idea because I have two graduate degrees so stop acting like you know everything. We have professionals on this site who can tell her how it is but, she doesn't want to listen. OP, please do return and tell us how "successful" your recruitment was! I can't wait to hear all about it!
