Squeaking by and want my BSN

Published

Because of a nasty combination of weather and miscommunication, I missed a test in pharmacology. I've done very well otherwise - I got a C on one test, but all the others are high Bs and low As. I'm pretty good at pharm!

But. I missed that test. And the end result is that if I miss more than 3 points out of the 51 remaining, I will fail the class. And even if I do pass, I'm going to get the lowest grade you can get and still pass. I'm stressed beyond belief because of this, and my other grades are suffering. I'm struggling, and the best I'm going to get is Bs.

Will this ruin my chances of getting into a BSN program someday? If I do pass, would it be better for me to just retake the class anyway so as to prove I'm not a complete idiot?

I want to be a nurse practitioner someday. Should I give up on that because I'm just not going to have the grades?

I think as long as you have an ADN, BSN bridge programs don't care much what your GPA was. And then, as long as you do well in your BSN bridge program and graduate with a competitive GPA and do well on the GRE, you shouldn't have a problem getting into grad school. So, don't give up! Pass pharm, get those Bs, and keep working towards your goal. It's still definitely achievable :redbeathe
