Starting pre-reqs, what can I study to prepare??

MedTech220 you should start your own post so YOUR question can get answered.

Brush up on Chemistry and Biology. A lot of schools are going towards Chemistry as the big gun! you need both of those sciences, good grades and a good score on HESI/TEAS test to have a spot in :). Good luck!

I use KhanAcademy.org all the time and can't recommend it enough. I had 12 years between high school graduation and beginning my nursing school prereqs, and that site was especially helpful in preparing for math placement testing and reviewing biology/chemistry concepts.

Haha! Great!! You'll just get a lot more responses this way!

Brush up on your calculations

You'll need to learn how to do dosage calculations. So you might want to brush up on fractions and conversions (like how many mg in a g). This will give you a little head start for that. We started learning dosage calculations right in the first class in the first semester, and then we had to pass a test the first month with a 90% to go on in the class or we would fail. The next semester we had to take an even harder dosage calculation test the first week of class that we had to get 100% on or we would fail. So, it helps if you already brushed up on your mathematics!!

You will might be taking anatomy and physiology and will be taking pathophysiology, so you should review those. That is REALLY important figuring out disease processes and why patients experience the signs and symptoms associated with their diseases.

Good luck!
