Grade in A&P I lab

[ashfost, BSN, RN]

Ok, so heres my dilemma. I just took my last lab final and made an 85%. Thats great and all, 'cept I needed an A on it to get a B in the class. Will a C in A&P I lab hurt me all that much? I was so upset I registered to take it again next semester which puts me at 17 hrs. would you guys retake it? i apply next semester for fall 2006 and i was hoping that if they saw i was trying to take it again, it would show dedication and initiative (?) I dunno, any thoughts would be wonderful! thanks!

Ya know... it really depends on how competitive your school is. I know here in Texas, an A in all prereq's is a MUST!! If I were in your position, I would take it again. Good luck, and God Bless!

I agree with the above post. Here, with the high competition an A is a must. (well not ALL the time) as other factors count as well. It is really up to you to decide. Check with you advisor and see what he/she advises you to do.
