How long did you guys spend on prerequisite classes ? (I start mine in August so if you have any advice , I'd love to hear it)

Specializes in mental health / psychiatic nursing.

It took me 2.5 years of part-time coursework to finish all pre-reqs.

Specializes in Psychiatry/Mental Health.

It took me a while, but I took one class at a time.

Also, I had to take nutrition and microbiology. I have a BS in biology and micro, english and gen psych were completed with my undergrad degree. Organic chemistry was one of the most difficult classes that I've taken. When I took micro, I also took dev psych and A&P II and worked. It was too much. I passed, with 2 Bs and and an A, but it was hard, and my performance wasn't my best. I wouldn't do it again, that same way, personally.

I started prereqs for two accelerated programs this January. I took AP I and II Spring 2017 and Microbiology, Developmental Psychology, and Statistics Summer 2017. Applications for the programs I'm applying to open in August and October :) Good luck with your prerequisites!

Specializes in Critical Care, Trauma.

I spent 3 years on and off (and part time) to finish prerequisites. I have applied to my school's program and should hear back by mid-August. I am looking into other schools if I don't make it into my school's fall cohort.
