Need advice for best route to take for completion of a pre-req course

Published

This semester I had to drop a nursing pre-requisite course due to unforeseen circumstances. I intend to re-take it next semester.

My question is this, I was set up to be done with nursing pre-reqs before beginning my Fall semester at university next year. I am not seeking a bachelor's in nursing, I have another route I am choosing to take. One of my options includes applying to our local JC as they have a waitlist and by the time I am done with my bachelor's, my time will be up and I can (hypothetically) go right into their program. When I transfer, should I do PT at the university and the current JC that I am at, so I can take my last nursing pre-requisite course through the JC? It'll be easier and since I will be commuting at least an hour for university, I'll take what I can get.

Please let me know what you guys think. The other options include, sucking it up and taking the pre-requisite at UNI (MORE EXPENSIVE! SAME EXACT CLASS!) or waiting until I am done with my bachelor's and take the pre-req after graduation (which has it's own issues, timing-wise).

I am so scattered I don't even know what to do about my situation. Any insight will be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks a lot everyone!

I'm not sure I followed you. You are taking nursing pre-reqs at the Junior College now and spring term. Then, starting next fall, you are taking classes at the University for a non-nursing bachelor's degree while you wait out the waitlist at the Junior College. Then you are coming back to the Junior College for a nursing degree. Is that right?

And you can take the dropped class Spring of '11, but that means you can't finish all the prereqs by the end of next term? So the question is when to take the last pre-req class? Is that right?
