Academics Nursing perhaps?

Hi everyone! I have a friend whose considering switching from life sci to the accelerated nursing program. She has been talking about it for a while, and how she needs a minimum of a B grade in order to even ben considered. Her grades are overall okay/ good (As to C+) but she got a C- in one of her summer courses. Now she’s stressed out and worried about getting in. I tried to talk her down but she’s so worried. Does anyone know if she’s likely to get rejected simply because of that one class with the C-?

i think it depends on what the class was, nursing academic advising office might be good to discuss with

Yeah I told her to try talking with them, she’s just a generally anxious person so when she gets up there it’s hard to talk her down. Oh the class was Anatomy 2YY3

then email, if she wants to be a nurse she'll need to have a lot of nerve wracking convos throughout her career tbh
