I currently have a bachelors degree in healthcare administration. However, I am planning on going back to my local technical college to complete my associates in nursing. One of the prerequisites is BIO210. I completed this class about 5 years ago and only ended with a C+ in the lecture and a D+ in the lab. I want to retake this course before applying to the nursing program. However, in order to qualify for my direct federal loans to pay for it, I have to be enrolled in a degree or diploma seeking program. Should I apply as a general associates of science student until I can get into the nursing program? Does anyone have any experience with paying for prerequisite courses?
