B+ In my Lifespan Development Class? Is it good or bad? Try again, perhaps

Like davewill said, most schools won't let you retake a B+ to try to get a better grade; but it's worth asking if it makes a difference.

I would also talk to the school you want to go to for nursing, to see if an A is a requirement or not.  Find out ahead of time, and then make sure you get A's where needed.  Here in CA, our CC's are super cheap, and the nursing programs through them are extremely competitive (you can become an RN for like $5,000).  People are killing themselves to get A's.  Anything less is just not going to work.  But I doubt it's that competitive elsewhere, and that's what you need to find out.

I did a bulk of my nursing prerequisites in California super cheap for $20 a credit at Valley Community College. Eventually, I left because it was explained to me that even if I had a 4.0 the waiting list was outrageously long. Nowadays, with WGU running a nursing program, Excelsior, Ashford, Kean and many other nursing schools taking ACE credit, I'm not sure I would risk my GPA over gen eds or pre-requisites. I understand OP's concerns, but in the scheme of things, I don't think it's worth losing sleep over. Things are different now than when I graduated nursing school last year... yes, it's become extremely competitive to become an RN, but there are just so many options now. My girlfriend just transferred in 18 credits worth of nursing prerequisites on her ACE transcripts -- including a few CLEP exams -- at the community college, and they took them. There's always a way around IMO, sometimes it means moving to another state like I did (although I know that's not an option for many). I try to tell people to remember... YOU ARE SO MUCH MORE THAN YOUR GPA. They're looking at other things too.
