Biology courses

You do understand that every college has a different numbering system, right?

3+ hour lab is common practice for the prereq biology for RN prereqs.

So most likely all the required biology courses will have a lab with them then?

Yes. Prerequisite courses for nursing generally have labs as a mandatory part of the course. Nursing programs will not accept courses without a lab element.

Gotta have that lab! The labs can be fun though, whereas the lecture not so much and in my experience the labs never last the full three hours.

Ok. Thanks for the info.

Good day, jcw702:

For future reference, colleges use different course ID's; so it is typically better to name the course vs. using a course id (human biology vs. bio xyz). Anatomy and Physiology I & II along with Microbiology should have labs. They tend to put a face on any physiology or lecture material. They can be quite enjoyable, especially if you have a love for the sciences and a passionate teacher who loves what they are teaching.

Thank you.

I had a 4 hour lab for my Chemistry. However, with my class, more often than not, the time allotted for the lab always exceeded the time that we actually spent doing the lab. I also had a 3 hour lab for Biology, and I think we only used the time fully twice throughout the whole semester. Just because there is 3 hours allotted for the lab, it does not necessarily mean that you will be spending that whole time in lab. :)

Good day, cracklingkraken:

Correct on the lab time; though, from my experience, if you can spend the entire time in the lab (or close to it) along with the professor and potentially other classmates, you learn a lot more than cutting out early.

Thank you.
