C in Adult 1!!!!

Published

i am officially depressed!!! i received my first (and last) c in nursing school and it's in a 5 credit adult 1 class. not only have my gpa gone done ever since i've started nursing school it's definitely going to murder it this time!!! my goal after my bsn is gioing to grad school and hopefully after experience get into crna school.... how can i become accepted into grad school with a c? i've never ever gotten a c in college or even report cards in high school and i'm soooo sad and scared!!! how horrible will that look on my transcript?

I was a straight 4.0 GPA before nursing school. Now I'm going to be happy if I get Bs and Cs in my nursing classes. Some of the girls sitting in my row may not be there next semester due to not making the 76% minimum class average. And, yes, I also had aspirations of going to grad school, too.

The best I can tell you is to examine your semester and try to figure out what went wrong. Then use the time between semesters to work on those skills.

A C is awesome!! You passed!! When I first started the professor said not to get too hung up on getting an A. She said most of us were probobly used to getting A's but nursing school is different. She said to focus on really understanding the whole concept of nursing and the main concepts at lecture and clinical. She stressed that it was okay to get a C. Her motto throughout the whole semester has been "C's get degrees" Nursing school is hard. Maybe one of the hardest things you will ever do in your life. You passed, congratulations!! Some people, more than you think, don't. There were about 12 students in my program redoing it that failed last year. It seems like you are in a Bachelors program. I am in an ADN program but our nursing course is 8 credits. I totally know how you feel though. I had a 4.0 and that has went down the toilet completely.

In my school, a C is failing. Can't you just take extra classes befie grad school to boost your GPA?
