ABSN guys and girls, which pre-reqs did you take your first semester?

espo44 · Jul 28, 2009

I'm doing chem and nutrition. Hopefully starting out slow. :)

Chem and nutrition..and what about next semester?

CrufflerJJ, BSN, RN, EMT-P · Jul 28, 2009

I think I did A&P 1 (& lab), , Nutrition & Health, Microbiology (& lab), and Intro to Psych.

My 2nd quarter was A&P 2 (& lab), Lifespan Psych (2 courses rolled into 1), and Statistics.

My 3rd quarter was A&P3 (& lab), Pharmacology, Pathophysiology, and Nutrition & Disease.

Fun, fun, fun! OK, maybe not, but I got it done.

Did you not need Chem or Bio for your program?

Is Chem really not required for some programs?

Did you not need Chem or Bio for your program?

I don't think it was a prerequisite for the nursing program, but chem was a prereq for A&P (and maybe some of the other classes). My undergrad degree was in Chemical Engineering, so I didn't need to take any further chem courses. As to Bio, I can't remember if it was a prereq to any of my prereq courses, or not. I had also done the Paramedic program at that community college back in 1990-1991, and that may have counted towards any Bio requirement (but I don't remember).

I did:

A&P 1, Chem 1, Sociology

A&P 2 by itself over the summer

Chem 2, Micro, Engl

All others I had completed...and yes, chem/bio/stats is a great start. Just make sure you can get A's in them

I think it's usually just Micro/Bio that is required for A&P

I just don't want to think I'm through with all my pre-reqs and then when it comes time to applying for schools have to limit myself since I don't have Chem:(

But getting an A would be near impossible in it, I've struggled with it in the past

Were you able to take Micro without Bio?

SANART11 · Jul 29, 2009

A&P 1, Sociology 1, Psy 1, Eng 1

Chem and Physics during summer

A&P 2, lifespan psyc, eng 2, and cpr

was pretty much my first year

I think its better taking one science a semester in order to get those A's :)

confusedstudentnurse · Jul 29, 2009

i'm taking bio 261 (which is really A&P1), stats and psych

2nd quarter i'm taking bio 262 (which is A&P2), micro and chem

3rd qt i'm taking chem2, nutrition and ethics

i'm kicking myself for not taking harder science classes during my first undergrad go-around! pre-reqs are costing me $7k to get caught up so that i can apply to the accelerated program. ugh.
