Hello, I am a CA student taking my prerequisites to apply to a nursing program. I'm currently at a cc that does anatomy and physiology in 3 parts/quarters. Most schools do them in 2 semesters. I got a C+ in A&P II and want to retake it. My college has the rule where I can't retake the course since I passed. So, I have to go take it at a different college and it would be a semester college, where A&P is 2 classes because there is no other cc near by that does it in 3 quarters. The problem I have is, do I have to take the whole A&P series over? Or can I simply take A&P II at a semester college? I know for Sac State's nursing program, they only accept all grades from 1 series, whether that be the 3-part quarter series or a 2-semester part. There's no combination of both. Most schools I've looked at don't have this information. Would appreciate any insight. Thank you for reading!

Hi all, I wanted to get advice on what pathway I should take. I was going to a state college right out of high school and ended up dropping out. My GPA was really low. I spent a lot of time just working because I couldn't afford school. Now, I work at a hospital and go to school part-time. I am taking my pre-reqs for nursing school and am eligible to transfer. My combined GPA is 2.36 (from my state college and current community college) and I still need to take 5 classes. My GPA at just the community college is a 3.11 and I have been getting A's in my prereqs. I am in CA, so I am afraid I cannot apply as a transfer student because my GPA is not competitive enough. Should I try the lottery system and go for my ADN in the next year? Should I start to look out of state and face out of state tuition to go to schools who's GPA requirement is not as high? Or should I transfer back to my state college and get a bachelors in a related subject (most likely kinesiology or health sciences)? I want to lean towards the ADN because it seems like the faster way to becoming a nurse--of course I will do a program to get my BSN or even my MSN. But I don't want to waste the time, applications/fees and test scores to do an ADN program if there is a likelihood of my getting into a BSN program...or should I just take the time to get my bachelors and then do the ABSN... Please help me. I've done quite a lot of research, but I am just starting to get discouraged.
