CRNA application requirements

I'm a New ICU nurse and once I get a couple years under my belt I want to apply to CRNA school. I'm starting to prepare already by studying for and scheduling myself for the CCRN and GRE (to be completed by the end of this year). I notice that MANY CRNA schools require Organic or Bio Chemistry. I was looking at community colleges around that offer these courses, but they're only level 100 or 200 classes, and one CRNA school application I reviewed read " A transcript for an organic or inorganic chemistry course completed with a letter grade of B” or better in the lastfive years. Entry level community or junior college level courses will not be accepted." - so does that exclude level 100 or 200 courses? The one I want to take is labeled "260 Organic Chemistry 1", plus lab. I'm wondering if that'd be enough... or maybe I'll just have to call the school. Idk lol, Thoughts?

My BSN program only required an intro to organic chem, which i doubt counts and will be more than 5 years ago that i took it by the time i apply

Did anyone here have to take classes after nursing school to boost their application? What did you take?
