Listen "GPA not Grit: Nursing School Admissions and What Happens After"
Episode Synopsis
Nursing is about compassion, resilience and critical thinking so why do admissions focus heavily on grades? In this episode, we will consider how GPA-centered admissions policies may be excluding some of the passionate and capable future nurses. What qualities really make a great nurse, and is the system measuring the right ones? Is cheating in nursing school a personal failure- or a systemic symptom of a broken system? From impossible workloads to fear of failure, we explore whether the problem lies with the student, the system or both and what it means for the future of the profession.
