I've completed 4 semesters of community college, but I didn't take school very seriously, and didn't do well. I had my son and have been a stay-at-home mom for the past year (the last time I took classes was Spring 2010). I'm going to be going to John Tyler Community College, but might be moving to Indiana and doing Ivy Tech Community College's nursing program. I looked at this link: http://www.jtcc.edu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=658&Itemid=255 and I'm planning on doing BIO 231, ENG 111, PSY 230, and SDV 100. I'm going to take the algebra in the summer. I have already taken ENG 111, but I got a B in it, and I want to aim for an A, to increase my chances of getting into a nursing program, since admission is mainly based off of the curricular GPA. I just want be sure that I'm taking the right courses. TIA :)

AaronsMommyxx 66 Posts Nov 3, 2011 Yeah, I just looked at that website. Make sure all the pre-reqs you need, first. I know I can't take Anatomy&Phys until I take Human Bio first.
