getting into the nursing program

[NurseAngel1]

Hi

I am a nursing student and wanted to know if you have a C in one of your prerequisite course for nursing is that bad? I want to apply to go into the nursing program and I know a lot of them want a C+ or higher but, if you get a C- 75 in one science course will that mess me up in getting into the nursing program?

Very much depends on the program to which you are applying. For one school it might not be much of a concern, but for others straight A's still won't get you in. Someone with all A's and a B might still be competitive where someone with a C in a required course (ouch) won't.

You'll have to talk with the academic advisor/admissions at the school you are interested in.
