Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hi, I hope I am posting this in the right place (first time on this site as a member)!

I was hoping to receive some advice on which classes to take in the Fall 2013 semester. I am currently in CCBC in Maryland and have already completed the majority of prerequisites that I need. I have used the Artsys website to make sure that my course will transfer after I (hopefully) receive my ASN. The only things I have left to take after Spring are the Biology classes. Any ideas of what to take that would be useful and possibly put me ahead??

The course I have already done/will do in the Spring are as follows:

ENGLISH 101

ENGLISH 102

SPEECH 101

SOCIOLOGY 101

MATH 111

MATH 163

PSYCH 101

PSYCH 103

WOMEN'S STUDIES 101

HEALTH 101

ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT 101

INTO TO COMPUTERS 101

PHILOSOPHY 103

BIOLOGY 110

If they offer it, I would recommend taking a pharmacology class. I am not sure about each nursing program because I go to a 4-year BSN school, so they incorporate nursing implementations/interventions for all of the medications in our pharmacology class, but I am not sure how that works if you just take it as a pre-req.

Also, my program made us take a 3-credit hour language course between sign language or spanish, so I don't know if any of your classes count for that.

Another one I thought of was nutrition, just one 3-credit hour.

Man, they just keep coming... Pathophysiology, that's a big one you need. We also needed a leadership class, but english or speech may make up for that. Take a statistics course if your math does not cover that. Also, one Research class and one Ethics class (already mentioned) were part of my curriculum. And Chemistry was already mentioned...

I think that's all... So in short form:

Pharmacology

Language

Nutrition

Pathophysiology

Leadership

Statistics

Research

Ethics

Chemistry

TAKE AS MANY FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLASSES AS YOU CAN AS WELL AS THEIR SUBSEQUENT LEVELS OF DIFFICULTY. THEY DO HELP AND CAN PUT YOU AHEAD. Diversity counts.
