In the fall, I took A&P but withdrew for getting sick with the flu and taking too many credit while working full time.
I am now retaking A&P thinking I wanted to continue Nursing as my major but now after working full time as a NAC for the last year and a half, I'm unsure. We have been short-staffed at my work so I haven't been sleeping well because I'm so stressed with school & studying. Thus I haven't studying/concentrating on my work like I should. Currently I have a 2.4 in the class of right now. Overall my GPA is a 3.5/3.6.
I'm wondering what to do because I don't want to continue a class that is going to affect my GPA if I end up doing poorly (which at this rate is very likely). At the same time this is my second time taking it and if I want to pursue nursing down the road I don't want the W's to catch up with me since A&P is crucial in nursing.
Anyone have any insights on this please!

Anatomy and physiology is a tough course. The fact IS you have to pass it. You can pass with a 2.4... or you can bring it up to a 3.0.
That would require your total focus on this class and working with your academic advisor to do so.
Get a tutor... you can do this.
