Pre-Requisite Question

Hi!

So I have a question about the nursing pre-requisites. Some programs will accept the healthcare chemistry or one course of general chemistry. I've taken both because I used to be a pre-nursing major but I had to take general chemistry when I switched my major to Bio. My question is: Which one will admissions use for my pre-requisite requirement if I've taken both? Do they take the one with the better grade? Do the take the most recent one or the one I took first?

Same goes for the oral communication class. Some schools will accept interpersonal communication or public speaking. I already took interpersonal speaking. If I take public speaking next semester, will these schools that accept both take the one that I took first, the one with the Better grade, or my most recent one?

i hope this makes sense.

    I would highly recommend that you contact the nursing programs you are interested in and ask them directly. Some programs will accept the higher grade as long as it fulfills their "x" requirement and some may not. Each nursing program is also different in what classes they will accept. I know some nursing programs that require public communications, sociology, calculus, etc. while other programs will accept interpersonal or public communications, a class that will fulfill the sociology requirement, requires statistics (much to my horror), etc.

    A quick google search on the particular programs you are interested in may yield some answers, but definitely give them a call and ask or try to set up an appointment with a nursing counselor/advisor/applicant evaluator specialist. Best wishes!
