    Worried mom of nursing student

    i believe your son is going to be ok. no you don't have to be a 4.0 student to pass. in this field C'S can still get you the degree. nursing school is very stressful and if you meet his classmates family they may tell you they feel the same as you.

    Should I still keep going?

    keep going, if you can record the lectures and play them back when your in the car and when you get home. Take notes while you listen and turn them into study questions. You can do it.
