Sometimes I feel like I'll be doing pre-reqs for 2 years!!
Just wondering how many pre-reqs others have to do and how far along you are?
I have to do:
Psychology 101 *DONE*
Math 082 *DONE*
Math092 *1/2 way done*
Math 122
Biology 156 *1/2 way done*
Chemistry 130
Biology 201
The fact that I started on the bottom with the math is what sucks so bad. Plus I had no bio from high school or chemistry to transfer over.
My goal is to be done with pre-reqs by December 2009.
My top choice has a ton of prerequisites, which I'm working to complete as I finish my first degree. After spring semester I'll be finished with my science prerequisites and at least 40 of my 60 required credits so I could apply and receive a provisional acceptance for Spring of 2010 after that.
Chemistry - DONE
Nutrition - DONE
Microbiology - DONE
A&P I – Spring 2009
A&P II – Spring 2009
Statistics – Spring 2009
Intro to Sociology - DONE
Intro to Psychology – Summer 2009
Intro to Philosophy – in progress
American Government – Summer 2009
Texas Government – Summer 2009
U.S. History - DONE
Visual arts - DONE
Growth and Development - DONE
English Composition - DONE
Electives - DONE
I've been accepted into a post-bacc nursing program. I finished my Anatomy pre-req on Wed (yah!), so that means 4 more pre-reqs.
Biomedical ethics - Spring 09
Devel Psych - Spring 09
Nutrition - Summer 09 (and CNA test out)
Microbiology - Fall 09
And if all goes well, nursing classes begin in Spring 2010 (can't wait!)

Wait, you are taking both A&P I AND A&P II next semester? Are you sure your school allows that? Technically we aren't supposed to at my school, although I knew a girl that did. Just a cautionary tale, but she didn't do very well. They break it up into I and II for a reason. Not to be negative Nancy or anything.....just want to be sure you know what you are getting yourself into.

Yeah- so my school is weird. My school actually doesn't have an "Anatomy and Physiology" class- we have an anatomy class and "animal physiology." So I'm taking the anatomy class (sort of the equivalent of A&P I) at my school. Now, a sister school offers "Anatomy and Physiology" followed the next semester by "Intro to Physiology" (which I'm assuming is the equivalent of A&P II, and which has its anatomy and physiology class as a prerequisite). I'm not worried about taking the anatomy class at my school next semester, because it has no prerequisites. For the Intro to Physiology class at the other school (essentially A&P II), I'm not too worried about it because my major is partly in anatomy so I've already had several anatomy-heavy classes, and my minor is in bio so I've had intro to bio and I've had micro and hopefully that will be enough physiology to catch me up to the people in my intro to physiology class at the other school. Just in case, though, I bought the textbook for the other school's A&P I class and I've been studying it over Christmas Break- really nothing in there that I haven't seen before in one class or another (whew!- but it's a good review). So I really appreciate the concern and TOTALLY understand what you're saying, but I'm hoping I'm prepared enough to handle both of these at once. I'm sure it will be a lot of work, but I've had to take orgo, calculus, and physics for my major already so it doesn't scare me too much- and it will actually be stuff I'm interested in (hallelujah!). Sorry this is so long, and thanks again for making sure that I know what I'm getting myself into!

Wow, that's so cool that you've been accepted for Spring 2010 already! Spring 2010 will be the first time my top choice has a spring class, and they haven't even set the admissions deadline yet. So nice to know that you are already in- congratulations!!!!
7 down, 4 to go...
Bio 230-Microbiology (Summer '09)
Bio 111-A&P II (Spring '09)
Chem 125- Intro to General, Organic and Bio Chem (Spring '09)
Phy 103- Physics for Nursing (Spring '09)
The others I had to take were:
Bio 110- A&P I
Psy 100- Intro to Psych
Psy 210- Lifespan Psych
Mat 108-Math for Life Sciences
Mat 107- Intro to Stats
Chem 120- Gen Chem I
Eng 112- English Comp II
I've already gotten English 1301 & my Arts out the way.
This Spring I'll be taking:
Anatomy 1
General Psychology
Interpersonal Communication
Sociology
Then, after those I'll have following classes left:
Another Psychology (forget which one it is)
Microbiology
Anatomy 2
1 hr physical education class
Pharmacology (not a pre-req but they recommend it be done before NS)
I feel like there's one I'm forgetting..maybe nutrition?
'
Anyways - I plan on entering NS in the spring or fall of '10
Already finished -
BA in Spanish 2002
Psych 101 - A - Fall 07
ANP 1 - A - Spring 08
Eng 111 - A - Spring 08
ANP 2 - A - Summer 08
Eng 211 - A - Summer 08
Microbiology - A - Fall 08
Spring 09 -
ANP 3
Sociology 111
(Hopefully!) Nursing school Fall 09
And sometime during NS I need to take a 1 credit hour "life skills" class, which can be done whenever. I can't believe I've gotten this far already!

I have to take Speech. I'm doing pathphys this semester but took an incomplete because I (finally) had my baby and she's taking up a wee bit of my time right now. But I probably don't start until fall of 2010, so I have time on my side.
