What is a "good" grade for you?

Published

I am a little bummed because I didn't do as well as I hoped in chemistry. It seems like everyone else was just flying by with A's and I worked my butt off to get a C+. Should I retake it? The nursing program wants C's or better (so I technically pass) but I'm just worried because I want to be a great nurse and what if a chemistry question comes up and a patient suffers because of my lack of knowledge? I do pretty well in school but tackling all these sciences (chem, bio, anatomy, etc.) is making me second guess myself and my capabilities. :crying2: Do you guys have any advice? Should I retake it? I still have many pre-req's to go and this was my first semester back after a year out of school. (I'm a sophmore) I'm just a little stressed...

Well, at my school you need a C in all science courses but a higher grade isn't required for admitting to the Nursing course. Check your insitution for the Nursing Index Components. But, if you feel like you would like you would like to go more in depth with your learning in Chemistry retake it. It never hurts to do someone over.

For me it depends on what class it is. If it is Biology, English, psych, sociology, etc, nothing less than an "A" will satisfy me. I don't think I have gotten an "A" in math since high school. I am okay getting "B"s and an occasional "C" when we are talking statistics...:chuckle Suprisingly I got an "A" in chemistry, but not with out a lot of work and a VERY smart friend that as able to explain things to me that made sense.

OMG, this is completely off topic, but the baby picture on your avatar is the cutest thing I have ever seen!!!
