Best order for science prereqs

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

This is my first post! I've lurked a bit and am so excited to have found this place. I am just starting out with school and am hoping you might have some advice on class scheduling.

I have three semesters (spring, fall, spring) to take four science prereqs (A&P 1 & 2, Microbio, and Chem). These are my options:

1) Spring 1: Micro Fall: A&P 1, Chem Spring 2: A&P 2

2) Spring 1: A&P 1 Fall: A&P 2, Chem Spring 2: Micro

3) Spring 1: Chem Fall: A&P 1 Spring 2: A&P 2, Micro

I would love to know which you would pick and why. Thanks.

Thank you all for your replies. To answer a few questions, no my school does not have a prescribed order and bio is recommended before A&p but not required. I did take bio (and got an A) for my first degree, but that was over ten years ago.

I think I will go with option 3 and take Chem first. You have been very helpful.

Taking a chemistry course would have helped me out in AP a bit. Micro is fun, but it's hard to apply what you're learning without a good idea of how the body works. So, I would Do Chem, AP I, AP II and Micro.

Good, I think that's the best option of the 3. Good luck :)

Option 3 simply because that's how I did my pre reqs and haven't regretted doing it that way :) good luck!
