OP, I can give you detailed info on retakes at colleges for one of the states you listed (pm me the info). Aside from that,depends on the programs, some will not allow you to retake a class more than once even (meaning you're ineligible for their program), others will take your best grade possible. I found that the former (1-2 attempts max) rang true more often, however, programs that are points based only (without a retake policy) won't care
What is a pre-nursing degree ? I've never heard of this. Does the school actually print out a diploma that says associate degree in pre-nursing?
I've heard it from some friends as well, at some places they will give you a "pre nursing degree" for completing the pre-reqs for a nursing school. I'm not sure why its considered a degree but some people want it I guess

I would be done with my Pre-nursing degree next January, but now I won't because I failed. This was my second time taking Chemistry 101 and Elementary Statistics. Most colleges I've seen won't take more than two tries, so I already don't qualify for them. I have to retake another class and I still have other courses I need to finish. It's stressing me out because I'm not sure if I should keep going foward with Nursing if I won't be able to get in to a program because of my hellish GPA.
I plan on applying to schools in Texas and Washington state. I want to be done with my nusring degree before I'm 23 but it seems like that won't happen. Also how do most school treat retakers? Like how do they look at the classes you retook? Or is that a question I should ask the schools individually?
How many times is too many times to retake a course? When should one just throw in the towel?
Thanks
