Do I need to retake my classes?

Regarding your grades, it’s common for nursing programs to have strict GPA requirements, and a B- might not meet the threshold needed for acceptance. If your program specifically requires a B or better, you might want to consider retaking the classes where you earned a B-.

I recommend reaching out to an academic advisor at your college; they can provide guidance tailored to your situation and help you understand the best options moving forward. Good luck!
