I'm doing my pre-reqs right for nursing school, and I have a question about educational backgrounds for getting into CRNA programs. I'm doing my pre-reqs for the BSN nursing program at a community college and am pulling a 4.0 right now. My question is, will the fact that I did my pre-reqs at a jr. college hurt my chances at getting into a crna program later on? I'm hoping to finish my pre-reqs with the same GPA and try to do well in the nursing program later, but I'm worried that going to a jr, college will hurt my chances of getting into a prgram later. If anyone has some info to share about this..... please clarify. Thanks ahead of time.
As a side note, I'm planning to take Bio, Organic & Physics at the university level after the BSN(while doing the ICU requirements) before applying to a CRNA program to try to make my pre-req resume look better. B.T.H
I think that he was encouraging the general chem and science courses. There are two types of courses, ones that are geared specifically for the "medical" professional and then there is the traditional "science" classes. I believe he was saying that you are better off taking the "general" classes vs. the "medical" professional classes as these leave out alot of information that is basic to the sciences.
In the college I am currently attending, they offer a general 104 &105 inorganic and organic then they offer a pre-calc. chemistry 111 and 112 inorganic and 113, 114 organic also pre-calc required. You are saying to take the four classes????
