Not good. Is this for one class or overall?

Depends on the school and how long ago those grades were. I had a bunch of f grades but they were 10 years old and I worked my butt off to show I was serious about nursing and had only As and Bs in my more recent grades so they paid more attention to that. If it's recent, I don't know what to tell you but if you really want this, you have to work hard and those grades really don't show someone who is going to do the work necessary to get through. Sorry if that seems mean, but that's what people looking at your transcript will think-that you just don't want it as much as those with better grades do.

It depends in the program and what classes those withdrawals/F's were in. My program only considered my grades from 4 classes and TEAS score, while the rest of my prereq classes had no bearing on my admission, as long as I had higher than a C. If that makes any sense.

Have you asked this question of any schools or looked at their admission requirements? That will give you a better answer than random strangers on the internet who are not part of your admissions process.

You should probably shoot for As, not Bs, if you want to prove to potential schools that you are serious. Good luck!

Not good. Not good at all. Sorry, just being honest. You will be competing with A+ students.

Well, if you persist in using text/chat speak, and not checking spelling, the odds are slim indeed.

However, each school is different, and what they'll accept can vary between cohorts. Your best and most reliable resources to answer these questions would be the schools that you are interested in attending.

Only the really expensive private schools will look at you.

The good news is that those schools will push you through as long as you have the money and your fate will rest with NCLEX.

You should look into schools that have records for passing students that shouldn't have passed. Those schools would be your best option.

The averages are competitive for most programs, as in A-A+. Your chances are slim, unless you have the money for private school.
