The lesser of all evils?

[MochaFiend]

I'm so nervous about making more B's than A's on my math and science courses. I'm currently attending Kennesaw State in Kennesaw, GA. In order to apply to their Nursing program, I need a "C" or better and I know that A's are better than B's. With your experience, what are the worst of these mandatory courses?

COLLEGE ALGEBRA

MATH 1107 - Intro to Statistics

CHEM 1151 AND 1151L - Survey of Chemistry I and Survey of Chem I Lab*

CHEM 1152 AND 1152L - Survey of Chemistry II and Survey of Chem II Lab*

BIOL 2221 AND 2221L - Human Anatomy & Physiology I and Hum Anat & Phys I Lab*

BIOL 2222 AND 2222L - Human Anatomy & Physiology II and Hum Anat & Phys II Lab*

BIOL 2261 AND 2261L - Fundamental Microbiology and Fundamental Microbiology Lab*

Thanks in advance

By the way, I barely passed Algebra back in the day.... Over a decade ago. So, believe me when I say that I'm working so HARD. I feel like Micro will be easier than CHEM (please, correct me if I'm wrong) and that CHEM I and/or CHEM II will make me cry.

Define "worst". In reality it makes absolutely no difference which is "worst" as they are all required to be completed with the required grade. If you define "worst" by the one that requires the most work that varies. I would try to not put labels on classes and focus on navigating ALL the courses successfully. Many learn more and develop a good work ethic in challenging classes. Nursing is HARD work and having easy classes would not prepare you for the rigors of nursing. There is a reason nursing pays pretty well...it is often a high stress/high risk career. Embrace the "worst" class and maybe you will learn the most from it. Good luck.

That's positive, thanks! Sounds good, you get what you give, right?

The difficulty of these classes can be entirely subjective of course, but personally, I've found a&p 1, 2, and micro to be very manageable. However, science is my strongest subject and always has been. I think it'd be best to start with a lighter course load then work your way up. You definitely want a challenging semester before nursing school.
