Pre-Nursing student need advice

[lizziedarabbit]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently taking my prerequisites at a community college in Southern California, hoping to transfer into a BSN program (I know it's super competitive). My top choice is UCI, and I've been working hard toward that goal, but Anatomy is killing me RN. I don't know what I was thinking when I signed up for this accelerated Anatomy in Summer. It's moving so fast that I've already passed the drop deadline, and now I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up with a B.

Any chances left for me to transfer into UCI Nursing with this B? 🥹

For context, I'm certified as both MA and CNA, currently work as MA doing back office mainly. I also have some foreign nursing education (though none of it transferred when I moved here), and I'm bilingual, not sure if that's a plus or no. Should I get some volunteer hours to boost my application?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
