Nursing Prerequisites at Lehman College

[NYCHealer]

1. Has anyone taken the nursing prerequisites at Lehman College prior to entering their nursing program? I want to confirm that IS possible, since some of the pre-requisite courses at LC state in their description that one must be majoring in nursing in the first place in order to take that pre-req.

Seems counter-intuitive to me that you can't take the pre-reqs unless you've been admitted into the nursing program, yet you can't get admitted into their nursing program unless you've taken the prereqs.

2. If so, did you think the nursing pre-reqs were difficult compared to other peers who did their nursing pre-reqs elsewhere?

I have taken prerequisites at Lehman.. there's only one prereq you need special permission to take from the nursing department and that's one of the HIN ones.. HIN268 I think. The other HIN listed you can do after you are admitted to the program (that info is 2 yrs old though so don't take my word).. as for the other prerequisites they're challenging at Lehman..I've done anatomy 1 at two different colleges and it was more challenging at Lehman. On the other hand I found chemistry at Lehman to be well organized and straight forward. The organic lecturer is excellent but that one was challenging for me.. namely because you must follow the plot in lecture and I would arrive after a night shift at 9am so it was hard taking in the material feeling like that. Don't overload your schedule if you chose to do prerequisites at Lehman. Yes you do have to be admitted to the college to apply to nursing school. I strongly advise you walk into the nursing dept or call them and make an appointment with an advisor. In the last year or 2 there have been changes with the nursing school, as well as changes in leadership so I'm actually checking in myself this week to make sure my information is current.
