I am 18 years old just finished my first year in college!! woop woop! im a nursing major and im in community college...planning on transferring out after next year to a four year. i dont want my associate i want my bachelors. ANYWAY, i've gotten A and B+s in all my courses so far, but my first science course (a&p1) i just got a C. im super scared...is this it for me? is there still hope? how hard is a&p 2? if you've gotten into a program with a C can u please tell me what school u went to so maybe i can check it out? im in NYC by the way

I'm here in Texas and I made a C in A&P 1, 2 is much easier.. Don't be too upset you still can get in just make good grades the rest of the way or you can retake it to get a better grade. I got in, but had numerous certifications to boost my points. And finished all the BSN classes to get more points. If it's super competitive there, I would retake in the summer to boost my grade. Can't hurt.

Good day, melikay:

Congratulations on finishing your first year. Typical nursing programs focus on how strong you are in the core sciences - AP1, AP2, and Microbiology. "C" is just passing. Only the schools you are considering can let you know if they would be satisfied with a just passing grade in a core science. So I do recommend calling the schools you are considering applying to ask if they would accept a "C."

Thank you.

The nursing advisor at university told me if I didn't get an A in A&P II, which I was taking at the time, to take another science class and get an A to offset science gpa. You have a whole year to take one or two classes such as general biology, microbiology, general chem, algebra, and A&P II. Play with the gpa calculators to see what can be done with math/science GPA.

I would do one science at a time.

Definitely check to see what the schools require. For our program, you had to have a B minimum in all prereqs.

I got a C in A&P1, then pulled it together and got As in both A&P2 and Microbiology. I've been accepted for the spring 2015 start date at my school. My overall GPA is very good.

You'll need to do well in the classes you have left. Sometimes we have to take some transferable courses just to boost our GPAs.

This was my first semester back after a year long break. (Former english/sociology student) I got a C in A & P I. my advisor told me just to do well in my future classes.

It really depends on what school you're applying to. Talk to your advisor about accepted applicant stats.

I am at a 3.65 after this past semester, done with all of my prerequisites.

At my college, a B- is considered a failure. You MUST have a B and above in all sciences except Chemistry, to be even considered to sit for HESI A2 exam (the petitioning process) . Again, check with the college you are transferring to, some colleges do not accept a C, some do.

All the best with your other classes.
