I think that question would be better asked to the school you are trying to get into.

My opinion doesn't mean squat but I do think you have a chance. For many schools, they only look at if you have the pre-reqs and the grades. :) Good luck!

You might be able to get it, you have good grades, you didnt fail, you only withdrew, which in my opinion looks way better than a failure. Im pretty sure that they'll understand that people have lives, and with a normal life, comes normal problems. Good Luck.

That is a good GPA. It does matter what school you want to go to. Not a problem for community colleges. Most of the time the just look at your grades not the withdraw. Good luck.

Where I am from, "Withdrawals" were only counted against the applicant in the core science pre-reqs. There is a composite score formula used to weed out applicants.
It is best to consult a nursing counselor at the nursing school you plan on applying to.

it's gonna depend on the program, some don't look at withdrawal, others do.
