Need help for nursing school

Hello everyone I am a student at a junior college and i have taken almost all of my pre-req courses and am hoping to transfer as a nursing student. I have gotten mostly A's and a few B's. But in anatomy and microbiology i got a D the first time and retook both of them and got a C the second time. I know that isn't good enough for retaking a class. But I working at teh time at a nursing home and decided to do hard science classes together at once. Not a good idea. My current g.p.a is a 3.3 and i stil need to take physio. I really want to go into Sac state but heard they are super competitive. I am currently studying for the TEA's and hoping i can do really good on them. Any suggestions for how or what other ways I could get into a RN program would be really helpful. Thank you guys.

    If you are trying to get into super competitive program you may need to consider retaking anatomy again so you can get your grades up.

    Let me move this to the general nursing student forum as I bet there would be someone there that might be in a similar situation. '

    Good luck.

    You definitely need to get your grades up in the core sciences.. they are mostly the classes that are looked at, especially if the program is very competitive. For my BSN program you basically had to have a 4.0

    Yeah, retake the prereqs you didn't do well in! Check out the regional section then click on your state to find a forum on your area and try asking about specific schools, but even for 'easy' schools you will need at least a B I'd assume.

    You must check every school you might apply to. Sac St is so competitive now, you will not get in with anything less than an A- in a science unless you can score almost 100% on the Teas. Some schools will dock you heavily for any repeats, and most colleges won't even let you repeat it unless you got a D or lower. So those of you getting a B here and there, you prob. won't make Sac State with their current selection system.

    Hello there. I just got into ARC, so we are probably in the same area. A friend of mine was at Sierra and she got a "c" which they consider too high of a grade to repeat, so she had to retake it at ARC. That might be an option for you. Your definitely going to need a better grade than a C though. Sorry. Hope that helps though.
