Got a C in Chm130... should i retake it?

by NUR151

So got a C in Chemistry, the class was horribly difficult and if i wasn't good in the math part i would have failed, I got an A in the lab portion, not sure if it matters, but anyway, should I retake this class? How will it effect my application toward the Rn Program? Got A's and B's in the other pre-reqs.

Depends on which RN program you want to get into. If your going to a community college then I say no don't retake it because I agree with you it is extremely hard and I hated the class. But if your looking into a university RN program then that is another thing because they are competitive but if you only have one C then it probably won't hurt you too bad. I would be afraid of getting a worse grade the second time. Good Luck

It depends on the program that you're trying to get into, really. My husband didn't get a high grade in his chem but still got accepted into a community college program with his B average.

I attended the U of A, and it's so competitive... that unless you have a really high pre-req GPA with the other classes, I would likely recommend it. They told me the semester prior to my getting in, the prereq average GPA of the accepted students was around 3.7.

Where did you take it? If you're in Tucson, you might be better off taking it as an IN course. That means that the lab and course grades are combined and done together... could have possibly averaged out your C into a B.
