To Take or not to retake?

Published

Hi guys !

I am currently applying to BSN schools but ......there's a problem with my science courses (They are 7 yrs old) Should i retake them as a benefit refresher? I would have to retake all the main ones . has anyone been face with this situation? Regardless i will be applying to schools that do not age out sciences . my concern would be starting nursing school and felling lost , i don't want to regret not having retake the main ones such as anatomy and physiology . What do you guys think ?

Hello!

I don't think I would recommend spending the time and money to retake those courses. Instead, I would reread the textbooks. I'm actually doing this while I wait for my program to start in January, even though I just took my sciences in the spring and summer. I definitely would encourage you to thoroughly re-learn everything, but if you feel like you can accomplish that by self-study, there you go!

If your school doesn't require you to do so then I wouldn't waste the time and resources to take the courses. There are many free resources out there that can help you refresh the course like Khan Academy
