  1. Science Pre reqs with no science knowledge?

    I flunked HS bio twice before they just passed me with a D to prevent me from not graduating. Science literally made me cry every night over homework. When I decided to apply for nursing school and had to take anatomy & phys 1 and 2 as prereqs, ...
