GPA: 3.3
Science GPA:3.3
(Physics B, Bio B, Chem 1 B, Chem 2 C, Anatomy C, Physiology B, all discipline related classes As and Bs)

Completed B.S. in nuclear medicine. Will be certified in nuclear medicine and computed tomography (CT).
Curriculum did not include organic chem or biochem. Will be taking those this year along with DAT while working full time job in hospital. Resume wise I have lots of research experience presenting at conferences and placing with awards. Any chance at all?

Hard to tell from now... Orgo and biochem are a lot harder than physio and anatomy. It would be wise to lose the job and focus on school. Your GPA is on the border of bad, so I wouldn't risk it.

What do you think if I got As in both? Obviously a best case scenario, but I've really hit my stride when it comes to studying/class.

If you got an A in both then you should be ok. At that point the major factor will be your DAT. You're gonna have to work hard and master gen chem.
Getting an A in both Orgo classes is not an easy task. If you got a B and C in gen chem, you'll probably do the same. Most schools offer free tutoring because the class is hard. Take advantage of it and do your best. Getting an A and B would fine. However, if you put work at it now, you won't have to worry much about it for the DAT.
