Hi guys! My first post here on this website and I've been a long time reader on here for awhile now. :)
I'm in the process of applying to four different programs in Oregon right now: OHSU, Clackamas, PCC, and University of Portland. And I ran into a small problem...I took PHE 325U Nutrition for Health in hopes of replacing the grade that I got for Nutrition 250 (FN 225). Both taken at Portland State. But, only OHSU takes PHE 325U and not the other 3 programs. I got an A in PHE 325U, and a C in CH 250 Nutrition. Knowing that these programs are VERY competitive, I can't get myself to not retake FN 225 again in hopes of getting an A. I just want your guys' opinion on this. Is that C going to break me?
Grades as of right now:
A&P1 B
A&P2 A
A&P3 A
Human Development A
Microbiology B+
Writing 121+122 A's
Statistics B+
Social Science/Humanities mix of A's and B's
I look forward to hearing about your experiences. :) This whole process has given me anxiety from the start of school.

Wait, there is A&P 3??? What is it exactly about?
Well, I can speak for myself, but I do not think anyone can give you a definite answer. You should know better. You should have the stats on each school's nursing program and see what their minimum acceptance requirements are. If the minimum grade accepted is a C, then you should be fine. But remember, minimum does not always mean that you are guaranteed the entrance.
