Will getting a B in A&P1 hurt my chances?

[MattL]

It's very unlikely at this point that I'm going to get an A in my A&P1 lecture class (I'd have to get a 98% on the next 2 exams).

So I'm wondering if this will significantly hurt my chances of getting accepted into my universities nursing program?

I think it's competitive, but I don't really know.

The minimum GPA you have to have just to apply is a 3.0. During my freshman orientation, there were about 60 kids in the pre-nursing seminar thing, and each year I think the program accepts 60 students. However, I'm sure other people apply to the nursing programs besides the students that have attended college here. There's also a Health Academy program in the local high schools, which can allow seniors in high school to go straight into the nursing program if they've completed all the pre-reqs with good grades.

Anyways, I still have a couple more semesters of pre-reqs to do, which I'll hopefully get A's in (I don't plan on getting anything below a B in any of my classes, and I currently don't have anything under a B). If they see a B in A&P1, will they think badly of it?

Just wondering what you guys think, thanks :)

Yeah I think you'll be fine!, I got a C+ (unfortunately in A+P II) and I'm applying to a BSN for the fall of 2012, and my friend who is currently in it says i shouldn't have a problem because all of my other grades were strong. How are the rest of your grades?

I think you should be fine I had to 2 B's in my sciences and was accepted!

Good luck!
