Need your advice, im in nursing school now...

VCU has one of the best school in the country. Why not visit the program director and tell him what your goals are and get his suggestions on the best courses to take. It would also be a good idea to let them know who you are and that you are interested in the school.

I think it all depends on where you feel your weaknesses are. Have you had any experience with stats, even in high school? I think it would help you to have some stats knowledge, and if you don't take to math like a fish takes to water, then I would definitely recommend taking stats. You will need good math skills for nursing school and especially for CRNA school. I took stats online and it was a breeze, so look into that if you want to take the class from home. I think the same goes for chemistry, if you feel like it was difficult for you in high school then it will only help to get a little more experience with it. I took Gen Chem I & II and also Organic Chem I & II, and I would definitely recommend taking Gen Chem before you get into Organic, I thought Organic was much more difficult than Gen.

If nothing else, at least having a few extra classes under your belt will make you feel more confident and less overwhelmed when you encounter these things down the road. Good luck!

I got into VCU, and I did not have a stats class. I echo the recommendation to meet with the PD of the program. Good luck.
