Hi! I live in Buffalo and originally got my BA in Communication. I decided to return to school for Nursing, however to get into UB or NU's Accerlerated program, there are many prereq's you need to take which may take some time to complete (if you have not completed them already.) I am currently going to ECC and hoping to get into their program next Fall. You can also check out NCCC! Feel free to message me if you have any questions! :) Good luck!

Thanks all! This information is very helpful! I agree with the fact that I don't want to have to pay for an unnecessary course, but I hope it will be beneficial so that I can do great in a&p1 and not have to pay to retake it.

thanks! I am in NY as well, so looking for the best entry level course(whether human bio or beginners a&p) that would be best for A&P1, A&P2 and micro.

thanks for all the input! It is very much appreciated! What entry course would everyone suggest? I can either take Human Biology or an entry level A&P course where you learn the basics before jumping into A&P1? I am starting to gain confidence back that I can do this no matter what my background is in!!

thanks everyone! That was what was so frustrating is that intro to bio was not a pre-req and the advisor didn't even recommend it.

thank you!

thank you!

Hi all, I am pursuing a career change and thought Nursing was the career for me. (I already have a bachelor's degree however have no previous science courses besides nutrition) I had planned on starting Anatomy and Physiology I this summer at a community college, however there was a change in plans. I went to my first class yesterday and had no idea (not even a clue) what the instructor was talking about. He said we were expected to know certain things already( about cells etc...), and it was very discouraging. I ended up dropping the class to see if there was another science course I could take to help prepare me for this class. Is there anyone out there who has made a career change and went back for nursing without a strong science background? Any advice would be very helpful and appreciated. I had my heart set on nursing, but now hesitating because of my lack of science courses.
