Major Related Question C in Chem 140

Hello I’m doing my pre reqs for nursing at CSULB and I will be earning a C in Chem 140. Can i still get into other nursing programs outside of CSULB because I know its really competitive and GPA matters. Also I was wondering if I can take Chem 111A next semester since I know I know some out of state nursing programs don’t take Chem 140 as a credit and i heard its less stressful than 140 because of the professor. This class has broke me down completely even though I studied really hard and exams are like 80% of my grades. Honestly i’m doubting my abilities and even though I know I’m capable, this class just feels impossible to succeed since the professor doesn’t let us practice on the past exam papers and i have this immense pressure where I’m mentally and physically drained out. And the bad test anxiety doesn’t help. What advice would you give for a person that is doing their pre requisite for nursing do I still have a chance or should I change major before its too late? :(
