SPC - No O-Chem?

k_r_ah · Aug 1, 2008

I'm not sure if this will help you. I go to Daytona State College, formerly DBCC, anyway we don't need to take Organic Chem for the ADN program. I transfered here from a program in another state that did require Organic Chemistry. I guess it depends on the school.

Anyone know for sure?

Yes... the program knows for sure. If their published material doesn't say you need to take organic chemistry then you don't need to.

I have never heard of a nursing school anywhere in Florida that requires organic chemistry.

SPC's associate in nursing program does not require chemistry at all. Of any kind. I happened to take it because I'm still considering getting my BSN at USF. I will be done with SPC's RN program in December and am now starting to evaluate the bachelor's programs now.

Cool, thanks for the replies. I have friends in other states (I'm a transplant to FL) and they've been required to take it, so I thought it was odd. Maybe it's a Florida thing. :)

Well, I'll tell you, for a bachelor's level maybe you'd need it. But personally I think chemistry should be required (just to understand pharmacological dynamics) but I don't know that organic chemistry should be required.

They may not require Chem. But they may require another class that may have Chem and a pre-req for that. I ran into that specific issue myself.

Azmomo.

I go there, I'm finishing their program. They don't require chem.
