What would you do?

Hello everyone! So I need your opinion. Any feedback will help me too. Well, last semester I got a C+ in Physio and it really dropped my pre-reqs GPA. I am not even sure if I am guaranteed to get into the nursing program. I guess the only way to boost up my total score for the nursing program is to do good on my TEAS, which I have not taken yet. I am also planning to take Microbio next semester, but there are really sucky teachers teaching for fall semester and I do not want to fail that class. I only have ONE chance to retake any of my science classes, but I am not sure what to do. If I do good in my microbio class, I am planning to retake physio. I'm just worried that I will do bad in microbio and that would leave me off with one choice of choosing to retake physio or microbio :(

My question is whether you would take microbio with a sucky teacher or take it next semester with a better teacher? It is just that if I do not take microbio this semester, then I would fall behind. What would you do? Btw, do you guys think I have a fair chance of getting into the nursing program?

Here are my stats:

Science classes:

Chemistry: B

Anatomy: A

Physio: C+

MB: not taken yet

Prereqs GPA: 3.2

nonscience classes:

I got all A's

Nonscience GPA: 4.0

Total GPA: 3.72 (It was 3.84 before)

    I would take it next year with a better teacher.

    Depends on in what way the professors are "sucky." If it's more that they are a bit harder or assign more work, I personally would probably just take the class this fall because with more work, I could make the grade I needed and not lose a semester. If it's a type of teacher you don't think you will be able to make an A with even with putting loads of time in, then it's probably better to wait because you're going to want to try to put your one retake to the C like you mentioned.

    And whether your competitive depends entirely on the program. For mine, you wouldn't be since the prereq GPA of those accepted averages to about 3.8. But you might be competitive for another program.
