yes i agree, i could have probably studied more but i do have financial responsibilities and was working 2 jobs. Learning from mistakes is defiantly the moral of the story. thanks everyone for your advice. I think i'm going to retake some sciences this upcoming fall and keep looking for different (and especially private) schools. if anyone has any more suggestions, please let me know! thanks again :)

Since as long as I can remember, nursing was always my answer when people asked "what do you want to do with your life?" I have taken both anatomy I & II with labs and received a C, as well in microbiology, phsychology, and concepts of nursing. With earning only a C, most if not all schools I have looked at have told me I need to retake my sciences because C's are unacceptable. And for some, doing so already eliminates acceptance for retaking a science. Not including retaking chemistry which I did terrible in. I know I can be a great nurse because sometimes being a great nurse isn't about your grades, but the way you can interact with people and the desire to help them rather than doing it for a paycheck. I am a hands on learner, not a test taker. I am still young, but fear at this rate I will never be accepted into a program or even graduate without retaking half of my college courses over again wasting time and money. WHAT DO I DO?!!
