Best Chemistry Choice?

[JustADream]

After years of wanting to be a nurse but being unable to do so, I am being laid off from my job (plant closure/bad economy) and am taking the bad news as an opportunity to try to get into nursing school, even if I will probably have to eat ramen noodles for the next five years to do so. I have a BS already (not nursing of course- hindsight is 20/20), but I need to go back and take pre-req courses such as chem, A & P I and II, microbiology, and some others that GA requires that my homestate did not.

With that said, I had signed up for CHEM1151/L at GPC in Fall, but then when I was looking at some of the BSN programs, their chem did not have the same name. For example, Emory had General Chem I as the title. Are these the same classes? I could not find a transfer equivalency. My husband just took CHEM1211/L for his major and he said that might be the class the BSN programs are looking for, but then GSU looks like it accepts CHEM1151/L, and I was not sure about some of the others like Piedmont, NGCSU, etc. The GPC general advisors have really only left me with more questions..

Which is the chem course that BSN programs require? CHEM 1151/L (Survey of Chemistry I) or CHEM1211/L (Principles of Chemistry I)?

Thank you so much!

It appears chem 101 would be the transfer class to Ga State for the Chem 1151 that is taken at State. There are charts you can use to find all the equivalencies from many schools. Your best bet would be to call the school you are most interested in attending and ask if you would get credit.Good luck.

i am at atlanta metro and that is survey of chemistry which is recomended its basicly like a intro course to get you familiar with things u need to kno (i guess) but go see ur advisor and let them no what u are thinking they will know what u need to do and they prob have a list of classes that u need to take to transfer over they will def know the chem u need to take although i think u are in the right one.

i would assume they want a lab included with the course, mine was 3 credits with no lab, our school did not have the set up for a lab, a lab course would probably be 4 credits.
