    Can you get into nursing school with a D for A&P1?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to ryangogogo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't do well in A&P, I had to retake it and got a C the second time. So far I got a B in my nursing courses and put in maybe 10% effort. Granted, doing well in A&P would have helped a lot,...

    Obsess with Nursing

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Mr I Care's topic in General Nursing
