Advice on pre-reqs?

Published

Specializes in I'm thinking ER or ICU someday.

hey everyone! I'll be starting my 4 year BSN program at Simmons college in Boston this fall and I'll tell you.. i'm really nervous about the pre-reqs. I love bio and A&P, but chem and me do not mix! First semester is General Bio and General Chem and then second semester is Organic chem (YIKES!) and A&P I. I know it is going to be a lot of hard work and it will pretty much kill my social life, but becoming a nurse is more important to me. Any advice on how to tackle the pre-reqs? Anything you wish you did when you took them?

Thanks! :)

Can you take the chemistry class this summer at a community college?

you know, I think I could do that. I should probably look into it. Do you think there is more academic support at a community college? Simmons is pretty small school itself so they say our classes our small and I've heard that they do have really good academic support so, I don't know. I'll talk to my mom about it. Thanks for bringing that up :)

Well every college is different so you can go to their website and see what kind of support stuff they have. My school is very good for the most part, it's a community college in California. Just make sure that your destination college will accept the credits from the community college. Get an articulation agreement if necessary
