Transfer from UC to Nursing School ?

[orchids1129]

Hello everyone,

I am currently a sophomore at UCDavis, and am set on doing nursing, but I only figured it out recently. I'm in the Human Development major, and was wondering if I should just transfer out of Davis? Or should I just stay.. Would it be more worth it, etc? If you could give me a few tips/advice, that would be more than wonderful! I met with one of the peer advisors here at UCD, and they said an option would be to just finish my 4 years here, and then go into an accelerated BSN program, but I was thinking that it is such a long process, and money-consuming. I was thinking, would it be a good idea to try to finish in 3 years? And does it matter what major I graduate from? Sorry for the super long message! I'm just so lost.

Thanks for all the help!

Since you're supposed to send in your transcripts to them, they will see if you had failed a class. Some nursing schools require a B- or higher in a pre-req. Some schools will average the 2 grades, some schools will look at the most recent grade you have from the course (if you've re-taken it).

UC Davis won't let you re-take a class that you've received a passing grade in. Since it's finals week, see if you can ace the final and get a B in the class or something. Take this with a grain of salt and see what you think is best. My friend intentionally failed a course and she re-took it later on and got a better grade in the course.
