Hi everyone! I have a quick question for you! I keep trying to figure it out by myself but it's just not working.
Basically, I was on hiatus(making sure I actually wanted to be a nurse, I took a break to pursue something else), and have recently decided to get back into the pre-reqs. I've pretty much decided I want to redo everything, to get the best grades. This is leaving me at a conundrum.
I've taken AP 1, and Micro. I have a B+ in AP 1, and a B in Micro. I would like to apply for the program for Fall 2015, but I'm not sure how to go through this. This Fall, I was going to retake AP 1 with a different teacher, to prepare for AP 2. However, I'm wondering if I should just keep this grade, and take AP 2 with this different instructor without her AP 1. Either I do that, or I take her AP 1, and end up taking AP 2 with Micro(I don't like having a solid B - I'd like at least a B+) in the Spring.
Now, I didn't do all that great with AP 1 and Micro, but am wondering how those of you who have taken AP 2 with Micro have done? Keep in mind, I will also have a newborn as of December.

I'm sure there is a retake policy somewhere. Pretty much every school has one. I would speak with a nursing advisor. See what it is exactly that you need to get in. I really wouldn't worry about a single B+. Do you have to take the HESI also?
I've sent an email to the adviser, but my issues is I have a B+ in both AP 1 and Chem. I have a B in Micro. Sadly, you need a 3.5 or higher in order to get the full points for the science section, which i wouldn't be able to do even with an A in AP 2. I also have a lot of B's in my pre and co reqs, so I need to fix that up as well. If I were to apply today(given that I did get an A in AP 2), I would have 15/19 points, when 16 is the lowest that has gotten into the program in years. I'm going to cross my fingers that we can at least take something twice, which I've never done!
