Hi all,
I graduated with my B.A. in Psychology in 2014 and I currently work full time. I decided to go into nursing and want to start working on my prerequisites. I want to apply for accelerated nursing programs, which require:
Human Anatomy & Physiology I and IIChemistry with Lab (at least 4 credits)
Microbiology
Nutrition
Statistics
Developmental Psychology/Life Span Psychology
(I need to take the ones that are in bold I took the other ones already)
What city colleges would you recommend for me to take these course? I would like to start in the summer, fall the latest.
Can you please give me ANY advice on what colleges are the best for prerequisites? Is anyone in the same boat as me?
Many thanks & hope you're having an awesome day :)

Hey that looks like the list of prereqs for Hunter or NYU am I right ? I am at Lehman doing pre reqs right now first semester - I'm there because they're cheap and they want the least pre req's. I'm a second degree student (liberal arts degree graduated about 15 years ago!). So far the professors at Lehman are pretty good and the gen Chem and A&P 1 courses I'm doing seem rigorous. I am struggling because I'm a mom to young kids and it's been a very long time since I did math (20 yrs!?) and Chem has a lot. The students who have been to school more recently or high school seem to be struggling less. I would recommend someone working full time not to do full time college even if single because nursing school is so competitive if you're applying to a CUNY school you need 4.0 gpa or close for the pre reqs .. Forget tap it's not worth it. I do 2 science classes and struggle but I have kids I think 2 science classes per semester would be ideal for a working person without kids. If you're applying to CUNY for fall get going now the admin is shrouded in mystery they don't tell you things and you discover the many hoops you need to jump through through trial and error so start admissions as early as possible to allow for mess ups - also all the nursing pre req classes in CUNY schools fill up the moment registration opens so you need to be ready sitting on your computer on CUNY first ready to register for those the very moment registration opens
