How many classes do you have left?

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

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.

I was accepted earlier this month and luckily this school didn't require many prereqs. I did most of it while I was an undergrad and I just finished anatomy (got an A+!). All I have left is Micro next semester and then I start Fall 09!

I must do the following:

English Composition

Introduction Psychology

Developmental Psychology

A&P

Microbiology

Humanities (art, music, theater appreciation)

I will be done with all this at the end of Spring 09

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!:D

Oh, good. Sounds like you are more than prepared. I'm sure you will do fantastically! Good luck! :)

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!

This is the second post I've seen now about an A & P III, which I've never heard of before. I guess some schools are breaking it up into 3 parts now, instead of two? Interesting...

Thank you! Of course I'm certainly open to any other suggestions, I really want to do well in both of those classes and get into nursing school! Pretty much everybody in my classes is pre-med, so it's so much fun to talk to other people who have the same goal as I do :D:up:

My school breaks it up into 3 quarters. You might be on a semester system with just Fall and spring semesters. Where we have 4 quarters a year; fall, winter, spring, and summer.

It depends on whether your school is on quarters or semesters. My school uses quarters, hence: AP I, AP II, AP III.

Schools using semesters have AP I, AP II.

2 semesters = 3 quarters.

At the end of the Winter Mini-Mester (Jan. 9th) I'll have all the pre-req's required to get into the ADN nursing program which starts June 2009. I'm taking Micro and Sociology in the Spring. They aren't required to get into the program, but students are encouraged to take them so they can just worry about actual nursing classes once the program starts. (I've already taken all the other "suggested classes".) Also, I have all of my BSN core work done except for Stats. Oh, and a 3.85 GPA! Yea! =)

Good luck to everyone applying for 2009!
