Just wondering because I can't seem to figure it out.. Lol

Specializes in Maternal Child, Home Health, Med/Surg.

I'm definitely quite comfortable with Chemistry(I got out with a B+ only because my final wasn't so great due to level of being burned out), but I was just wondering. Electrolytes was actually something I was pretty comfortable with, as well as my acids/bases. :)

Unfortunately, even though we start Fall on the 26th, my instructor hasn't assigned a text book. I've tried looking forward in his online lecture notes, but I want to print them out. I did ask him, but it didn't really help me. He referenced me to like 6 weeks worth of chemistry. Then stated that I could be like everyone else, and just relax.

However, I'm determined to succeed, so relaxing? Haha.

I don't start my nursing school classes until the 19th so I can't speak to that. As far as A&P- I think as long as you really comfortable with the basics (ions, bonds, diffusion, polarity, chemical properties to a certain extent, electrolytes, acid/base) you should be fine. All the super detailed stuff I personally never was required know for A&P. Any chemistry needed was briefly gone over in lecture but you do have to know the fundamentals.
