Can you Get into Nursing School with a D Grade? Registered Nurse RN

Hey Everyone,

I hope everyone’s Saturday is good. Mine has been a day of recovering from a cold. I promise I will be making a personal post very soon. I received another “ask me a question” and I actually have two more to answer after this one. WOW…I can’t believe the huge response I have received from the “ask me a question”. I am so excited to get them! Anyways back to the question! This question comes from JA and here is what was asked:

“Hi i am 21 and will be applying to the nursing school on april 1. I got a D in my anp 101 class but i have straight A’s in my other 3 pre reqs i got a good teas test which is the test you take at ivy tech to get into nursing school to become a RN. is it true i wont get in because of that D! I cant believe it i am ready to be a nurse i want this so bad. please help?! ” JA

 Getting Into Nursing School with a D Grade

Ja, great question and this question is sort of tough to answer because I’m not sure what your schools requirements are….so I hate to tell you no you can’t get in or yes you will be fine. However, I can tell you from personal experience with my school and how they determine if you can get in based on grades.

At my school, in order to get into the nursing program you have to make a grade of no less than a C in all of your health care classes (which includes AnP). **AnP is short for Anatomy & Physiology. For instances, one of my friends got a C- in our AnP class and she had to retake it (which she only had one extra time to do so) to bring up her grade. So it all depends on your schools requirements.

If I were you I would call your nursing advisor or your college and ask if the D will effect your admission to the program. If it does I would just retake the class and bring up your grade. Just to let you know AnP is a hard class so don’t be too hard on yourself. I can tell you want to be a nurse….so don’t let this grade get you down. When you become a nurse you will not be known as the A, B, C, or D (letter grade) nurse but just as a RN so as long as you pass it is fine.

Good luck with everything and I hope it all works out for you. If you ever have anymore questions don’t hesitate to hit me up!
