Help I have to retake Microbiology!!

U.S.A. Washington

Published

Ok my question is for anyone who got into or recently graduated from a seattle area nursing school, could I get in with a withdrawl from one class and a repeat from another? What school would allow me to enter? What schools wont. Please tell me specific school names so that I can now aim for those school because I want to apply for 2010 school year.

w-t-f, don't be lazy, just apply everywhere to increase your chances. i got into UW with 4 W's on my transcript, granted, they were all in the beginning when I first started college, but I still had them!

obviously having W's on your transcripts isn't going to help you anywhere you apply, but what can you do about it? nothing!

places that use a point system like highline CC I don't even think look at things like W's or Retakes. They just add up the points you got in the classes that they require for their program

word to the wise - some schools look down on re-taking a class. Many of the best ADN programs do not take re-takes lightly. (Everett CC is one) choose carefully - especially if your grades in the other science classes are good. those are the only grades that matter- the sciences. good luck!

I think some of these people are making a big deal out of having to re take a course. Microbiology is critical to your job as a nurse but taking the course the second time will be easier and should not affect your getting into school as long as your overall GPA is good. I had to repeat anatomy and it did not affect my getting into school. All they wanted to see was that I had passed the course.

I think Shoreline, Lake Washington Tech, Seattle U, and UW are okay with taking classes for a second time. I think Skagit and Tacoma are okay with it as well.

Also, I'm not sure where you're living, but I heard a rumor that Micro at Seattle Central is actually not too bad.

Micro at Seattle Central totally kicks butt, actually. Highly recommended; great teacher.
