Should I retake my B courses?

[WEEWOOWW]

I have one more semester left, and so far I have all A's and 2 B's.

Those two classes are Statistics I, and Intro to Nutrition. I took these classes my first semester. I felt like both professors I had for those classes were horrible (Didn't show up half the time, exams not matching up to textbook, etc.)

For my community college, the higher grade will reflect my GPA, but the transcript will show both grades.

Do you think I should retake the courses and get those B's to A's?

It depends on the school yhe school your desire nursing program will be at. Some will accept retakes, some only accept retakes if failed grades, and some don't accept retakes at all.

FIRST thing you should do is stop blaming the professors. You got the grade you got. In nursing school you will have professors you do not like. It does not matter. You have to navigate the course and be successful. Same if you become a nurse. You will have co workers and doctors you may not like or get along with. It does not matter. No one wants to hear excuses.

You say the professor did not show up "half the time". So you are saying you have documentation and proof that your professor did not show up for 50% of the classes? If not then you are not telling the truth. If the professor did not show up to 50% of the classes did you report this to the dean?

No one said the exams have to "match" the textbook.

Shorten your question to "I earned a B and I am considering retaking the class to get an A. Can anyone who has done this provide feedback on the benefits of this?"

So it's okay for the professor to be reported by numerous people and have to be monitored for every class by a dean halfway through a semester? I personally do not think I deserved the grade I got. They both also have been let go after the semester I had with them. Your opinion though.

I would contact the schools I wanted to apply to for their retake policies. I know of the three schools I am looking at, two don't allow retakes. If you have the opportunity to retake, you can afford it, and you know you will do better in the class, it may be advantageous.

I've had terrible professors taking my prerequisites, and I feel your pain. I had to become a very proficient self learner. The professor couldn't throw me off because I made sure I knew all the materials outside of them and their teaching. If this happens again to you, you have to make sure you know your stuff outside of what is going on in class. I know it's not ideal, but neither is retaking a course.
