Chemistry

Published

Did any of you RN's take AP Chemistry in high school and did it help? I'm in it right now but my teacher is bad and I can't seem to get the hang of it. I know I take it my first semester in college with a lab, but should I tough it out even if I get a C in high school or would it be okay to drop it and just start in college? I like chemistry but I don't understand why I can't do well on tests and quizzes when I study and understand it at home.

I hated high school Chem. Loved college Chem!!! Took 2 semesters of college chemistry and 1 semester of organic chemistry. I highly recommend Khan Academy. I got through all 3 semesters of Chem with a 4.0 because of their wonderful tutorials. They made difficult concepts crystal clear

Don't remember taking high school chemistry it was so long ago. Did have to take Organic & Inorganic chemistry plus genetics for my BSN. Glad I did take when it came to advance pharmokinetics for NP school.

Clepped Biology course but took it anyway as wanted to do well in A&P.

Some schools will have a chemistry for health majors.
