Do employers in your area consider GPA?

I want to know because while i know i must get a Bsn, there is one Rn to Bsn program that looks promising but they have pass/fail instead of a grading system.
Meanwhile,i know for sure employers in my areas do look at GPA.
My current employer does nit hire anyone with a Gpa below 3.5.
Almost all applications i have filled out required an official transcript from the schools i attended.

i know the pass equals a 3.0 at WGU.
i guess my current employer would not have hired me if i had graduated from WGU with a BSN before working for them.
I know that for new grad/residency programs here, they do ask for this stuff, but I think if you're applying for a "regular" nursing job, they won't ask for GPA or transcripts.

Up here they just want to know if you passed the national registration exam on your first try.Sounds very childish. "Let me see your report card before I think about hiring you!" Not at all professional.

HR here does not look at GPA, only license and background check and drug screen

For new grad programs/residencies/positions, they will usually ask for your GPA and/or your transcript(s)...and if competition is tight, your grades can make the difference between getting in and getting passed over. It makes sense because the employer really doesn't have many other standards to judge a new grad by besides their grades.If you're already an experienced nurse, they usually don't ask about your grades. That being said, I recently filled out a job application for an experienced (non-new grad) position, and one of the questions in the Education section was "what was your GPA?" I have no idea if my GPAs contributed to my getting the job.

No, they just ask if you have a license and a degree, and what kind of experience. It's possible that when I applied for the new grad program, they asked about my GPA, but I honestly don't remember.

I hope my 3.5 years of direct patient care experience at two different hospitals and my extensive volunteer experience and my BSN would be worth more than a number on a transcript.

Whether or not it is considered one has no idea, but have seen many LinkedIn profiles from nurses holding everything from staff positions to administration and beyond listing their GPAs. We're talking everything from just BSN degree holders to MSN and doctorate.Again how much or if any of this matters at all to potential employers is anyone's guess.

Im under the impression that GPA is usually only asked for new grads. And ive only seen transcripts requested for competitive fellowships and what not
