are prerequisites for an adn program harder at cal states than community colleges?

I don't think so. I've attended a UC, a CSU, and a community college and some of the most difficult lower division science classes I took were at the community college.

No, not really IMO.

I took my pre-req's all at a CC so I don't know if they're "harder" or not....but they're definitely cheaper.....IMO if you're going into an ADN program, just do your pre-req's at a CC....it's a waste trying to get into a CSU or UC and then end up only getting your ADN....if you were going BSN, different story

Is it harder to get the classes you want at CC? I talked to a nurse the other day and she said at chaffey she waited 2 and a half years to get into anatomy.

Anybody in RN-BSN program in Bayarea can share your experience?

Thank you!

it really depends on your instructors.

Well for any school, whether it is a CC or a University, they give priority to students with more units...meaning someone with 60 units at a school get to register for classes before someone with 10 units. i waited to take my nursing prereqs after I had finished all my GE courses so by the time it came to register for those hard to get in classes, I already had about 45 units under my belt and there was no wait...unless you count the time I started completing my GEs which you're going to have to do sooner or later. I would suggest waiting til the end to do your nursing prereqs anyways because many school have a 5 year expiration date. If you do them at the end, you have more time to get in to a program. If your nursing prereqs are already 3 years old by the time you apply, that means you have to get into a nursing program within 2 years or you'll have to take those classes over again. Hope this helps . Feel free to ask any questions.

I think it depends upon the professor.

I took API at Sac State and APII and Micro at the community college after I graduated from Sac State.

My API professor at Sac State was soooooo much easier than my APII professor at the community college.
