I think it all depends on where you feel your weaknesses are. Have you had any experience with stats, even in high school? I think it would help you to have some stats knowledge, and if you don't take to math like a fish takes to water, then I would definitely recommend taking stats. You will need good math skills for nursing school and especially for CRNA school. I took stats online and it was a breeze, so look into that if you want to take the class from home. I think the same goes for chemistry, if you feel like it was difficult for you in high school then it will only help to get a little more experience with it. I took Gen Chem I & II and also Organic Chem I & II, and I would definitely recommend taking Gen Chem before you get into Organic, I thought Organic was much more difficult than Gen.
If nothing else, at least having a few extra classes under your belt will make you feel more confident and less overwhelmed when you encounter these things down the road. Good luck!

I'm a sophomore at virginia commonwealth university in the nursing program right now and need some advice!
We don't have to take a chem class if we took one in high school, however since i want to eventually become a CRNA i know i should take one...but which one? just intro chem, organic chem? which one?
Also we don't have to take STATS but i heard i should if i want to apply to NA school?
Any other classes or tips?
Right now im trying to bring my GPA up to ATLEAST a 3.5, im not too far away, i've gotten a C here and there in just some of my pre-reqs all my nursing classes i've recieved an A or B.
And i'm an ER Tech at a local hospital.
Just wondering what "extra" classes i need, like stats, and whichever chem....or anything i should try to do now to increase my chances later down the road.
thanks!
