How is Nutrition?

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

I have to take the course Nutrition as one of my prerequisites for a nursing program i plan to enter. How is this class in terms of difficulty, interest level, etc. ? I signed up to take it this summer and it is an accelerated 6-week course. Any thoughts from those who have already taken the course whether in summer, spring, or fall are appreciated.

I loved nutrition and it was extremely easy for me because I am a avid bodybuilder. Most of the information was second nature for me before I started the class. One of the easiest pre regs for sure.

I took it a while back in a 3 week format. I was extremely easy and extremely boring in my opinion. Very glad I didn't have to sit in that professor's class for 16 weeks! :-)

I also took Nutrition during undergrad in the summer. My degree was in the humanities so I didn't put much effort into my required science gen-ed courses at the time (including Nutrition) but still ended up getting an A. I thought the class was great but I am really interested in how nutrition can be used to promote health and wellness. Hopefully there are ways I can continue to take nutrition-related courses and implement that knowledge when I become a nurse.

i did forget to mention that i am taking this course ONLINE this summer for 6 weeks.

Did you take Nutrition with the lab component? I want to take the class in the fall but don't want to take the lab (although it's a co-requisite). Do most schools require the lab component if you take it to fulfill the pre-reqs?
