   I think taking CNA course along with A&P class is doable. You really need to time manage yourself and be able to plan/schedule things. It's going to be a lot. You will need to discipline yourself to ensure that you're passing both programs. You w...

7. Should I retake Anatomy and Physiology 1?

   aethereality replied to Jennyreed's topic in Pre-Nursing

   From my understanding, most schools may average the grade even if you retake the class. I do recommend you retaking the class if possible especially at another school. Work to earn an A so even if they average the C+ and A, it will be a B or B-. Comm...
