Retaking classes at another college (SPC, HCC, and PHCC)

I'm looking into retaking my APII class at another college to obtain a higher grade to boost my GPA (as of right now a 3.36, so not the most competitive...ugh :( ). I originally took the course at SPC and earned a C for the lecture portion and an A for the lab portion. I'm looking into either HCC or PHCC, and will look to take the courses online if possible.

My question is, if I decide to take APII again, will I also have to repeat the lab portion as well if I transfer to another school? Obviously I'd like to avoid retaking classes altogether, let alone one that I've already earned an A in.

One last question - would it be worth trying to repeat these courses? Or would I be wasting my time and money? I calculated that if I retake these courses I will bring my GPA up from a 3.36 to a 3.86.

Any information is appreciated! Thanks :)

    I re took a chem course at HCC since I got a C from UF. I would mos def say re take it esp it raises your GPA by so much. Even thought nursing programs would rather you pass the first time with a higher grade it does look better if you re took the course and passed with a better grade.

    From my personally opinion I say the courses at HCC are ten times much easier compared to difficulty science course at UF. And the cost of the class is cheap as well.

    I would also say dont take the course online most online science courses are much more difficult than in class.

    Sorry I cant help with the lab portion since I took Anatomy as a 4 credit course that inluded lab and physiology in the same fashion. So the lecture and lab was just one grade.
