I made a C- in Bio111 last year because my professor fell ill and my class ended up having 3 different professors throughout the semester, all of who had different grading scales and testing styles. This semester, I'm probably going to pull a C or D of some sort in Bio112. The problem with 112 was mostly my fault, because I was bored with the plant crap at the first half of the semester, and also because the professor only gave us 2 tests the whole semester plus our final. So, there wasn't much room to improve our grades.
Anyway, this is going to make my GPA suffer (should be around a 3.0 after this semester), but Bio is not one of the pre-reqs for nursing school. Will nursing schools still care that I did bad in Bio, or will they care more about my GPA by the time I apply? My pre-reqs that I have taken so far (English, Psych, etc) have been A's and B's.

It depends on the program youre applying to. My school only looks at the 5 nursing pre reqs and could care less about the other class grades. So Id look into the program requirments.
