Pre-req questions

I am in the process of signing up for some pre-reqs now. Since the LVN program has a 2 year wait list and the RN program is based on lottery, I am just gonna go ahead and take the pre-reqs that either program will accept. My question is...the lvn program wants BIO B18, and the RN program wants BIO B16,B32,B33. If I just take the last 3, will the LVN program accept that, or will I also have to take B18 as well?

Also, I am adding classes online through the Bakersfield College site. Will I have to pay the fees now, or will they bill me later?

Re: Pre-req questions

Never mind abou the payment question, I figured that out by reading the paper they gave me, duh!

I do still need help on the other question though...although now I have plenty of time, I just realized that all the classes I need are full, closed! I guess I shouldv figured out what to do earlier. Im really bummed out now, I have to wait till next spring term to register for my classes. Thats a long time!

Guess I will try working on my CNA, if I can get in that is.

I don't know what the actual name of those classes are but i am guessing they are anatomy and physiology.

You really need to check with both nursing programs to see if they will waive the class. Don't take anyone's word for it. Get it from the source! Otherwise you may get misinformed and ultimately delay your chance at applying.

Re: Pre-req questions

In my experience, most RN programs require a separate anatomy and physiology where as an LVN program has a combined more general course. The LVN program I went to allowed the separate anatomy & physiology because it covered the basic information and more.
But you will ultimately have to ask your program to make sure this is allowed.
