NOVA Accelerated/Traditional program ???

RNwannabe2011 · Jul 25, 2009

The accelerated program starts in May and the traditional in August. Chem 101 is a pre-req if you didn't take it in high school.

Here is the site with the pre-req form and the information.

That was me who took CHM 101 and it was because I didn't take it in high school. The same rule applies for Biology, which I did take in high school. You have to have taken it in high school and passed with a C or higher. I get that question all the time. I am actually grateful that I had to take it in college rather than high school. I would even be willing to repeat BIO only because I know I would get a hell of a lot more out of it.

Oh I see. Thanks I thought I was looking at the wrong pre-requisites or something.

Bio 101 was a killer for me !!!!

To answer the post yes if you did not take it in high school or if it's more than 10 years ago you have to take chem and bio 101:)

I just wanted to clarify something. I started to panic when I read your response, and emailed the MedEd campus. They just responded with this...

"The 10 year requirement applies to the high school biology, not the chemistry."

Although I will say a Chem refresher would have come in handy for NAS161 and 162 :nuke:
