      Although it does benefit to have higher level Chemistry classes, if you work hard, you won't be behind.

My nursing school only requires General Chemistry thoughout the entire program. Will I be hindered in any way, if this is the only chemistry class I have had before entering a CRNA program? I'm worried about being behind.

I briefly looked into CRNA school many years ago, but if memory serves me correctly you needed at minimum organic and I believe bio-chem for most/all of the programs I looked at. I would check with the programs entrance requirements to see if it would limit the number of programs you could apply to and maybe also talk to CRNAs you know about their thoughts on if you needed more sciences/chemistry courses to be able to do the job.

There are only 2 CRNA programs in the state I live in. One of them requires a "C" in undergraduate General Chemistry, the other one does not specify.
