a "C" in life span psychology

A 'C' is never good and falls below the cutoff line for gradschools which is usually a 3.0

Draw your own conclusions.

If NP id your goal, A C will not cut it.

If it is your only C then It shouldn't be a problem. Most schools know that sometimes you have a bad subject. As long as you have the grades that are required then you shouldn't have a problem getting into NP school. Trust me, I have plenty of C's on my transcript from my first time through school. I'm looking at going for CRNA. Most schools will look at your last 60 hrs, some look at your entire transcript.

@cowboymedi, yes that's my only "C" for now. Thanks everyone for your sincere comments!

I got a C in the class as well, and plan on retaking it- I have tried to teach myself to look at the C as the new F when trying to climb the ladder in nursing Good luck to you :)

life span was hard for me as well! i would suggest retaking it IF you have time, if not then just do your best in the classes you have now. there is no point in taking an overload of classes to get a better grade because then you won't have as much time to put into your fresh classes!

In pre-nursing C is def the new F.... Once you enter nursing program.. C is the new A LOL ?....

Thats what I hear haha I'll be glad when thats the case. I couldve sworn A & P was way worse than lifespan and pulled a B in A&P..I was so disappointed to better in the class I struggled with more of. But thank you, I def plan on retaking lifespan :)
