Poor grade in AP1 class, afraid may have to give up

For a more accurate/useful response, I'm curious to know -- Did someone from your school's program tell you that no one ever has gotten in with less than a 3.9 in A&P1 or have you simply never known or heard of someone who had a lower grade getting in? Have you already discussed your A&P1 situation with an adviser from the program? If so, what did they say?

(My gut instinct is that you still have options and are simply reeling from getting a grade lower than what you think you were capable of earning, but that gut instinct is based on the assumption that you are overgeneralizing when you say that no one has ever gotten in with less than a 3.9)

I don't think you should give up but maybe this isn't the right time for you tackle something like nursing. You should take care of yourself and get to a point where you can be functional. I was depressed 10 years ago and it showed in my school work. I wouldn't have been able to handle nursing then. It wasn't until I got it together that I was able to do well in school. I'm not saying you have to wait 10 years. But you don't want to do badly in pre-reqs and have them haunt you. It'll be harder to get into a nursing program with straight Cs in pre-reqs. You'll be worse off. Maybe you need a semester or two to focus on yourself and figure out a way to do the nursing thing in a way where you can succeed and be healthy.
