I am not even in nursing school yet, but wouldn't it be beneficial to have those classes more recently as Milk said? Seems like that would help you when you get to school. Also, as I understand things, CRNA school is very heavy in chemistry, so if a student had trouble with chem classes, wouldn't that mean CRNA school would be more difficult for them too?

I would have to disagree with avoiding certain schools just because it would require you to take an additional class or two. Everyone will have their own set of criteria in what they want from a program but dont let application requirements be a deciding factor. You will be spending 2-3 years of your life (and many thousands of dollars) to earn your degree. Don't let a few semesters of pre-reqs keep you from getting into a great program.

I guess I should rephrase my statement and say; the decision to take additional classes to meet school-specific criteria has potential drawbacks, therefore the prospect of admission should be well worth the extra effort to meet the admission requirements.

Sadly, admission to the school of your choice is never guaranteed :(

Bottom line is lots of research.
