Question????

I am interested in applying to the A.A.S RN degree and I have taken all of my prereqs, I had my heart set on going straight through to the RN, BSN program but my schedule at work won't allow for school hours for much longer so here I go with the A.A.S RN then working nurse and go back to school online (hopefully for my B.S.N )

My Question is I have A's and a couple B's in my General Education Requirements and I had a (gasp) C in the 1'st A &P and this semester I'm taking the 2nd half which I hope to get at the very least a B. Should I retake the A&P 1?? After this semester (in October) I apply for the RN program and I will only have the Nursing Curriculum to take. Should I retake the 1st A&P to get a better grade or "take one for the team" and just do my best from here on out?

All advice is appreciated...

Most schools don't let you retake courses unless you got a D or lower; or a withdrawal.

I have a C in Chemistry and Stats and a B in Micro and I applied to a BSN program here in CA (where the competition is very high) and I still managed to score a spot on the waitlist for fall (the semester where it's most difficult to get in). If you have time, you could retake your C course, but I'm here to tell you it's not an absolute necessity. Also, my school doesn't allow us to retake classes we earned C's in unless we petition each class. It's a long, drawn out process that's really unnecessary. There are a lot of schools out there that don't weigh GPA as heavily as others. Find those! :)

The school I attended for pre reqs DOES allow grade forgiveness for C's. It depends on your school. I got a C in English I (100 years ago!) a C in sociology and a B in stat methods all rest were a's and I got into the BSN program on my first try. So it can be done! Kelli
