Oh yeah I forgot I had to also take a math /english test before I got in too since I had been out of school for 20 years. We have to maintain a 60% average to stay in the course but most of the math and medical terminology tests we had to get perfect on.

We have something similar. Once you matriculate at the community college- which I did- in a liberal arts program..... you take the "accuplacer" test. Basically this is the way they decide what core classes you can take. Do you need to start at Algebra, or can you start right in at Stats, etc. Similar with english- if you score high enough you basically have your choice of math/english electives.

You have to maintain a C average here, from what im reading to keep your financial aid, and status with the college.

Basically- since these classes can be transfered to any other nursing program, it doesnt really "matter" so to speak if you never get in at this particular college. If I was in a bigger city, I could apply to 3-4 different schools and more than likely get into them pending gpa, nln numbers etc. If that makes any sense.

I'm looking at the course book, and here's why they recommend taking the "pre/co-reqs" first.

with the 2 year program- it would look like this - for credit hours per sememster

fall semester, 15 credits
spring- 18 credits
fall 17 credits
spring 15 credits

Basically this would amount to a 40 hour a week load. Given that the majority of students in this college are adult students, they prefer you to take the p/c-reqs first, given they realize that most of us have a family, job etc. in the "real world"

Make any sense? LOL

Most of the nursing schools around here require:

• A&P series
• General chemistry series (although not all of them require chem)
• Microbiology
• Developmental psychology
• Statistics
• Nutrition

Some of those classes have prereqs of their own (basic bio for A&P, A&P I for micro, algebra for statistics, etc.). So if you are starting from scratch, it can take awhile to complete these prereqs!

[SMK1]

A&P 1-3 (on a term system here) before you can take this you have to have human bio 160/lab for prep
chem 111 (integrated) before you can take this you have to have chem 050 for prep.
microbiology
nutrition
Psych 211 (developmental)
speech 211 or 213 (interpersonal or group communications)
english 101, 102
math 95 intermediate algebra (or test into college algebra math 111)

if you want a bachelors transfer from the cc you need all of the other degree requirements (more speech, foreign language, arts etc..)

also specifically you need
chem 112
descriptive statistics
differential statistics
