Which chemistry courses, if any, did you have to take for grad school, either as a pre-req or part of the program itself?
I have very little chemistry in my background as I only needed to take one basic chemistry course for my BSN. No orgo or biochemistry. I always hoped to make up the gap through my own reading but got sidetracked and never got around to it. My grad program also doesn't require any advanced chemistry, although there is a genetics course.
Anyone else get through an MSN without taking any chem beyond 101?

I never have even taken a college chem course. When I first entered nursing school, I still had my high school level chem that got me into A&P, so I really never needed it. When I entered graduate school, I prolly could have used a biochem class for adv. patho, but a little extra studying I managed to get an A. I'm sure it would have been good to have it along with way, but I've managed so far.
