Lightbulb New student looking for pre req's advice

Hey there everyone. I've heard so much about this site and finally decided to give it a try.

I am due to begin my pre-req's in the Fall. Anyone care to share their thoughts about what I should start off with?

Hi...welcome to Allnurses!

What prereqs are required for you?? Maybe you want to get Anatomy in there and get that over with.

Depends on what prereqs you need. I started school wanting to take anatomy, physiology, microbiology, general chemistry 1, developmental psych, social psych and statistics; 7 courses. By the time I was done, I had taken 12 courses. And I went part time and paid per credit. This is what happened:

Calculus and high school/introductory chemistry (neither of which I had taken) were prereqs for general chemistry.

Precalculus was a prereq for calculus (took it my first school but forgot everything).

General chemistry was a prereq for biology.

Biology was a prereq for anatomy.

Anatomy was a prereq for physiology.

General chemistry 2 and biology were a prereq for microbiology (misprint in college catalog made me take wrong biology, had to take the right one in concurrence with microbiology).

I had the prereqs for statistics, developmental psych, social psych.

Yes, I'm bitter but more importantly broke. Hope you have better luck.

Wendy

Thanks for the info. I will probably be taking ENG112 & Math as well as Anatomy.

Good luck to you.
