I got a C in history and political science. Is that horrible for a future nursing student?!?!?!?!

Not necessarily, though GPA is important. Generally (very generally, as every school is different), a nursing school would be more interested in your nursing prereq GPA, which would include classes like A&P 1 and 2, micro, psych, chem, statistics, and whatever else they consider "nursing prereqs." I'll be honest and say if you have a C in history I can't imagine what grade you have/will get in A&P, but if you apply yourself, study, and work hard, I'm sure there will be nursing school options for you.

You posted this in the pre nursing forum too and no it doesn't necessarily make you a "bad" nursing student or what you are thinking. But try to keep A's & B's in science pre reqs.

I made a C in A&P1 and got into the nursing program first try.

I realize I did, yesterday was my first time using this website, so I posted it more than twice. And thank you for your reply.

I hope its the same for me, I also made a C in A&P I so I pray I do a lot better in A&PII in the Fall!

So far I have only taken one A&P and I made a C, so I am hoping I do a lot better in the second one especially since I am doing a few extra things to help myself prepare for it.

It's according to the school and what else they look at. I attend an ADN program and they utilize a mixture of grades/gpa, reference letters, persin essay, awards, standardized nursing school entrance exam scores, etc....... I had 2 C's one was in my technical and professional English course (which is rare, I'm awesome at everything outside of Math, usually), and the other was in A&P I (one of the hardest C's I've worked for). I made a B in A&P II and an A in Micro and A's in all of my other prereqs!

C, don't stop a nursing career. A few C's may limit your choice in schooling options, but it doesn't totally stop you, normally.

The more C's the more narrow your choices can be is the way it was once explained toe when I was 17 and nervous about applying to nursing school!

Depends on how much the school puts emphasis on GPA. My school looked first at GPA, followed by TEAS score, and then finally number of pre reqs completed.
