Are these pre-reqs too much?

Published

Hello,

I plan on taking all of these classes as my pre-requisites for nursing school. Could you tell me if it's possible to finish them in two years or would they take longer? And what should I take freshman year? I plan on taking 3 classes a semester but I don't know how to take them together. Please help thanks.

Lifespan

A&P1

A&P2

I dont see why it would take more than two years. If there are no prerequisites for those classes and you are taking three classes a semester then it would only take four semesters.

Please, see an academic advisor at your school. He or she will plan them out for you. Do not do your own thing. Go and speak to an academic advisor who will plan them out for you.

It ready depends on whether you're a string student and what else you have going on in your life. If you're only taking classes and you don't have family responsibilities, then you can double up on some tough classes and make good grades, but it'll still be hard. I think I'd do something like this:

1st

Intro to chem

Intro to stats

Gen. Psych.

2nd

General chem

Nutrition

A&P I

3rd

Intro. Organic chem.

A&P II

4th

Microbiology

Genetics

Summer 1

Lifespan

Pathophysiology

I don't see why this would take more than 2 years at 3 classes a semester. Otherwise I would definitely talk to an advisor and see what they have to say regarding work load, professors etc. How much is each class worth? The science classes are worth 4 credits for us, but for a friend of mine worth 3 credits then she takes a lab separate. Ours are combined.

I took A&P I, Stats, and Lifespan together along with English and a college development course. Those are our pre-reqs for nursing school.

I would also evaluate your strengths and likes and dislikes. I hate math so took that upfront to get it out of the way, and I'm taking my English classes early so I don't have to look at them ever again. I would divide up the chem classes and not overload myself with it because 3 chem classes in one semester would be hell for me.

You really need to make sure there are not prereqs to these classes. Do you need a certain math level? Writing? Intro to psych before developmental psych?

This is a lot less than my school
