Changing my major

If you want to be a nuse then continue on your path of becoming a nurse. Do not change your major and settle for something that means nothing to you.

Do exactly what you're thinking about, retake those classes and increase your science GPA but don't keep to the same study habits because they are seemingly useless. Get as much help as you need from your prof or tutors, and prepare yourself by re-looking over the material before jumping back into those classes.

I say this because an older woman who I took Organic Chem with failed the class with an F at the first time.

But after taking the whole summer to teach the material to herself before she retook the class again she ended up with an A on every exam while some of our classmates were giving her the evil eye because they were jealous.

Hi there,

I have two suggestions:

1. Follow the advice given by the PP - retake the courses in hopes of getting higher grades.

2. Even with Cs you still have a slight chance. Many associate degrees have a minimum grade average of C. So if you are not picky, apply to local associate degree programs and see what happens.

if I do change my major I want to be as close to nursing as possible. I am considering just taking a year to retake those courses. Any ideas or advice?

Anything "close to nursing" will require the same array of pre-requisite courses. There are other types of jobs in non clinical areas of the health care industry that may work for you. Have you looked into Health Information Management?
