Pre-Nursing students what has been

The hardest pre-req for you?!:D

Specializes in NICU.

I think I'll go with Chemistry.. I LOVED it in high school, but the class I took in college was horrible. I took it over the summer and it was just miserable. Somehow I managed to get a B/B+ in lab.

Statistics wasn't fun either and I honestly don't know how I got a B in it, I don't remember anything I learned.

I loved a&p and micro. I'm taking organic biochem this spring, but from what I've heard the one I'm taking is easier because it's for non-chemistry majors. Whew.

Hands down it was English comp. I only got a 2.5 in that. Oops...

So far chem and a&p have been a breeze.

Chemistry, this is so BORING and a foreign language. The only time I can hold my attention is when we bring up Sodium, Potassium, ATP topics that I remember from A&P. I have a 5 week count down for this class, and I'm counting down the minutes until this burden is off my shoulders. By the way, I'm in a General Chemistry (Principles of Chemistry) class, covering General, Bio Chem and Organic Chem. Does anyone know how much Chem we really use in Nursing School?

Microbiology was the most work of all but I loved it. It was my favorite course of all. It is not that it is so difficult from a conceptual point of view but it is a ton of information to memorize. One of the difficult things about memorizing all the info are the names. The words are not everyday words in our vocabulary i.e. clostridium perfringens, streptococcus pyrogenes, staphylococcus aureus, etc. Set aside LOTS of time for studying. Index cards are a great help.

hands down A+P 1 I have taken it twice and got a C- the first time and a D the second ughh!!!!

Easily. I failed it the first time. And ended up with a C the second time through.

I'm in it deep now. My school offers admission to the nursing program based on AP I+II, chemistry, and english. So there's not a lot of wiggle room. Not at all. I need A's in both lecture and lab for APII to have a shot. And I got a few low B's on some of the previous exams. My -only- chance now is to pull off a 100% on the final exam.

Micro was the hardest for me and not the lab test but the lecture tests. My Professor (love her to death) was tough! One test we took was 10 pages long! She didnt use the chalkboard that much either so I had to get a voice recorder to supplement my notes. I made it out with a B but it was a hard B..LoL.

A&P I &II were the hardest. My A&P I teacher did it for the money (and said as much). Statistics and Chem II were my all time favs!
