Confused on how this works?

No, not unless the math class is listed as a prerequisite for the A&P classes, which it likely wouldn't be.

You probably won't have to take Math as a prereq for A&P. Be sure to look closely at the prerequisites for the class. At the community college in my area, the prerequisite for A&P is Gen Chem. In order to get into Gen Chem, the advisory is that you are qualified for a certain level of math. BUT, my Chem teacher didn't ask us for proof.

I didn't even know that being eligible for a certain Math class was a prereq for Nursing (since Math is not required for the ADN Nursing program) until my neighbor told me she had to take Math to get into A&P. :uhoh3:

HTH!

I think you have to complete all your learning support math before you can do any science classes, or at least thats the way it is a my school.

Good luck

Hmmm...Math is not a pre-req, Which are:

-A&P 1

-A&P 2

-English comp

-Into to psy

This is for LPN. I took my compass today, Im college level reading and writing but math I have to take the lower class. Ug. But I just wasnt sure how that reflects on the pre req's. I'll find out Tuesday for sure at orientation/meet with advisor. Thanks ladies! :redbeathe

Most likely not, but check with your adviser to be certain. At my school, you do have to pass the general math pre-req with a B or higher in order to be selection ready, though. More than likely, if that's your case, and you happen to not make it this time around, I believe you could add it as a remedial to your credit hours for the following term, along with your A&P class. Again, I'd double check with your adviser to be positive on this! :) Best of luck!
