hi, i'm currently studying in bmcc, and i'm considering taking "bio 425" that is anatomy and physiology 1 during summer but first i wanna know what i'm getting involved in cos i really really need to get an "A" in other to get into the program. so do u think its advisable? thanks please help me out cos now im nore than confused.

and yeaa i saw an advisor in the nursing dpt and he actually told me to take it during summer so i can be able to apply to the program by fall to actually get in the program by spring (bio 425 its one of the prerequisites) . but i dont want to miss ma chances of getting in with an A. dont wanna bother my parents with the high cost of other schools nursing program.

Honestly, I wouldn't take A&P1 during the summer. It's a really intense class, and it's one of those classes that can make or break you. You might not have enough time to digest all of the information that's going to be thrown at you in just 5 weeks. I'm taking that class right now, and I can just barely keep up with it along with my three other classes.

I know you don't want to wait, but I think that you should take it during the fall session and hold back on applying. It's really tough to get into any NYC nursing program these days. You're going to be competing with people that have 4.0 GPAs and lots of hospital volunteer/work experience. It's rough out there, so you should take your time getting the best grades that you possibly can.

I am taking a&p1 in the fall. I took chem 121 summer session 1 and that was a struggle.
