Can I Get Into Nursing School With A C In Anatomy?

I’m really nervous. I’ve gotten all As so far and now I’m doing really bad in anatomy. If I end up with a C in anatomy but the rest of my grades are As will the C matter? Do they look at your overall gpa? The school I’m planning to apply for says C or higher but I know most people do better and it’s very competitive.

    One C among a whole bunch of A’s isn’t going to pull you down further than a 3.75 so you are still good to go.
    But of all all the classes to pull a C Anatomy is really the worst possible! Physiology and all kinds of classes build on Anatomy, and considering your major, that class in particular should be an A.
    Perhaps you can audit or do-over the class again this coming semester and focus on it for an A. You need the base knowledge to continue on.
    But wait! You aren’t done with this class! You are only worrying that you won’t do well. Get off the Y!A website and get back to the books. Find a study buddy that can help you pick up the pieces and bring your grade up. Go back over the notes and tests and figure out where you messed up. Focus on your classes and forget the men or the other students. This class is more important than any of them.
    Good luck.

    Depends on the school. Some look at your whole GPA in which yours is very good and you should get in. The school I went to gave you a certain amount of points based on your science classes and the entrance exam. So an a or b was desirable but people with a c in anatomy still got in if they did good on the entrance exam. If the requirement is a c or better, you are fine, depending on what you are up against. If a lot of other students have better grades, then they will get the slot before you. Some schools go just by a waiting list. In which case your grades don’t matter, but you are on a wait list. Call the nursing dept. of your school and ask them how it works.

    It all depends on the school’s requirements. If it is a competitive school, a higher gpa is more desirable. If you do fear that you are going to get a C in the class, talk to your professor about the situation. You might be able to work on some extra credit or maybe get some ideas on how to understand the curriculum.

    Don’t worry yourself over one C. They will look at your overall GPA. As long as you fall into the requirement of a C or higher you will be fine. Hang in there! Nursing school is challenging, but in the end it is all worth it. You can still be a great nurse even if you are getting a C in anatomy!

    remember that not all nursing schools are competitive, you can find many with open admissions you just might have to commute or move somewhere to do it.

    Your overall GPA is great. I don’t think you need to worry about one C.
