Does pre-req science classes expire for nursing program?

I graduated from high school 11 years ago and my nursing school accepted the two sciences I needed from those high school days. I only needed A&P and gen psych

Each program is different so you will have to find out from the program you are interested in. I had to repeat A&P 1 because it was too old. It worked out to my benefit. I had a B from the first time I took it and got an A the second time. But yeah, you really have to find out from the school you are interested in. My school required that it be less than 10 years.

Yeah, it's going to depend on your school. Mine accepted an A & P class I had 10 years ago but some won't take them more than 2-5 years old.

Some schools do have time limits for pre-requisites while some programs do not. Many schools do have a 5 year time limit.

Some schools with this policy are willing to accept a higher level course in place of the pre-req course as long as the pre-req for ns was a pre-req for the more advanced course. For example, Jane took General Chemistry I, the nursing pre-req, 10 years ago. Three years ago, she took a Biochemistry course that had Gen Chem as a pre-requisite. With this policy, the Biochemistry course would fulfill the Gen Chem I pre-req.

Just getting over the shock of being told I had to retake 4 classes before I can start the RN program. My school has a limit of 10 years. What irritates me the most is 2 are pre-reqs for the LPN program, which I obviously already graduated from, which hardly seems fair. I mean, nutrition? Really? Still determined to do it, so I guess I'll get through it.

Most schools in my area expire Science courses after 5 years. It's probably specific to college, so check with your local college or the college of your choice to be sure. :-)

5 years for the schools in my area.

Good day:

For the schools in our area, it is based on subject matter. A&P is 5 years, gen eds I believe are 15+. I'm not sure about Microbiology.

Thank you.

I graduated as an LPN over 10 years ago, I decided to go back to to the same school in 2015. I was told I had to take over micro/chem/A&P 1& 2 with the labs as five years was the limit. I was irate because I already passed all those classes with this same school ten year's prior. I did not receive any credit for any of the classes/labs. It states on my transcript repeated class exclude credit and GPA. I was angry and called the school, they would not change the status. I decided to leave the school and go to another, every school I apply to keeps questioning my GPA as I do not really have one with all the exclusions.

It really depends on the school. I know of the 4 schools I am looking at, only one has course expiration of 7 years, and only for the core bios and nutrition. The other three do not. All 4 schools are within 45 minutes of each other. Personally, I’d look around a bit and see what your options are. That’s so much work that would be brutal to repeat when you did so well to begin with!
