usually to be accepted into a nursing program "fluff" classes wont help.. my college only considered your GPA on classes that counted towards the degree, but I dont know if the program you want accepted to is the same.

could you retake the Chemisrty class for a better grade?

nursern2010----I, too, will be attending a college where getting into the "actual nursing classes" depends on your GPA in the "generals"...I, too, am nervous, despite the fact that I carried a 4.0 while in LPN school....14 years ago!! Unfortunately, these schools may graduate folks with 4.0 who know NOTHING about patient care and who went into the nursing field for all the wrong reasons!! Some of the best future RN's are, therefore, cut from the lists of "finalists" and end up seeking their education elsewhere!!! Keep your chin up and keep me posted on how you are doing!!!;)
