By all means re-take.. go ahead and jump into an HCC 'live' course. They're available at many campuses & don't cost very much. You may even be allowed to substitute your second try (with higher grade) when you apply to NS. Even if you don't, the fact that you took the extra effort will undoubtedly count in your favor with the admissions folks.
A & P is absolutely critical to nursing studies. I am sure you will do much better the second time around. The subject matter is just very complex and it sometimes takes a while to understand it.
Where are you planning to apply to NS?
