Complete Pre-Reqs for nursing or Bio degree?

Published

I am a current student at the University of Denver. I believe my calling is to go into nursing and after much thought I am going to do it! I am looking to apply to CU Denver or Regis within the next year and a half. I have about 6 pre-requisites under my belt (not science related). I am wondering if anyone has completed their pre-requisites at DU and which classes were most helpful to take. I am in a bind because I need Anatomy and Physiology but they are 2000 level classes and I have not taken Biology classes in college before. Should I jump into those to complete them or take the Bio Concept 1000 series before I take A & P? Any help from current or past DU students would be of so much help. I have only a week to register!

Very excited to jump start my future

Well a biology class would help with human anatomy and microbiology. Some schools require you to take biology before you can take human anatomy or microbiology.

You should look at the schools you plan on applying to, and find out what pre-reqs they require and then go from there. No point in taking classes you don't need.

most schools require you to take intro to biology before moving on to Micro as well as A&P so you can pick up basic lab skills as well as info that you'll need in these three classes.
