Is Chem 1406 similar to Concepts of Chemistry? Or are you talking about Organic Chemistry? I haven't taken Organic Chemistry yet, but Concepts of Chemistry is just about all math. You need to know algebra in order to do the stoichiometry problems. You also learn how to decipher the periodic table, build compounds, break them down, but the end result of all this is stoichiometry. I guess it all depends on your comfort level. I, personally, would take a harder course by itself, but I'm sure there are others who would disagree because summer courses are accelerated. I'm not sure if this helped you, but good luck!

I hope there are more out there who post! And I don't want to exclude those in their 30s, I was you just a few months ago. If you are "mature/older/sage/seasoned/advanced" and starting on the nursing journey, it would still be great to hear from you! I'm 36 years old and have been accepted into the community college's ADN program and as a transfer student into a BSN program at a private college. I've decided to go the BSN route because of the amount of academic scholarships and grants that I have been awarded. What's one more year, right? My husband and I have two children. A 19 year-old daughter in college and a 15 year-old son in high school. (I know, we started YOUNG) I have been working as a school bus driver for the past 12 years. This was a wonderful way to earn money and still be home with my children during vacations, snow days, and summer breaks. I'm going to miss this job, but it's time to stop dreaming and start doing! I have always wanted to go to nursing school but didn't think I could handle the work load. I'm happy to say that I was wrong. I actually feel bad for the younger group because they tend to have more of an active social life than I do. I don't know how they juggle it. I wouldn't have been able to at their age. More power to them! I have lurked on these boards for the past 2 years. I finally joined today and I look forward to getting to know everyone.
