Will a B in Chemistry hurt my chances?

[mummer43, BSN, RN]

I REALLY want to become a CRNA and I have gotten A's in every class except chemistry. Will that one B hurt my chances?

Edit: I mistakenly posted this in the general forum. Feel free to move this to the CRNA forum. Sorry.

I would assume it would not. You have above average grades. Good luck

Given that you have consistently done well throughout your undergraduate studies, certainly a B will not hinder your chances to be a CRNA. They look at your last 60 hours, overall GPA, and nursing GPA. All numbers are taken into consideration. My advice though is to take your GRE NOW while your still in school and the math and vocabulary is still fresh in your mind.

I was just accepted into a CRNA program. Yes, i'm VERY excited. Good luck with your nursing studies. Be patient though. Dont look too far down the road and lose sight on what's important. Graduate FIRST! Then move in the direction of critical care. I have never advised ANY new graduate to work in an intensive care unit fresh out of school. Your a danger to the patients and a burden to the staff. ( I worked in a progressive care unit for 4 years before moving to critical care) Definately not advising my track, but learn how to TALK with patients and see normal before jumping into machines, monitors and choaos.

Good luck!

sorry i have a correction to make...

Rather than your nursing GPA being considered it's your science GPA. usually 3.0 or better. You got it!
