To all who've taken Organic Chem as a prereq...I need your advice

Nursing Students SRNA

I'll try to be quick...I want to Organic Chem this spring. I would be attending a local university as 'visiting student,' which means I don't need to take any type of general chem 200 level as a prereq. They don't advise visiting students...I took general chem. about 5 years ago as a soph. in college.

Here's my question....is just jumping right into Organic Chem doable? I know it's an extremely tough class and I don't want it to be week one and be behind. I will have plenty of time to study-no kids and 3 12's a week-. I'm happy I don't have to take a prereq, but there is a reason they want you to.

Has anyone taken Organic Chem right off the bat with no prereqs?? Any advice or opinions would be incredibly appreciated. Thanks everyone.

To everyone whose replied thank you. I just thought of a question I forgot to include in my initial post.

Do you think it's beneficial to take the lab portion of O. Chem. Do most CRNA schools want to see that or require it? Did you take the lab portion?

I'm debating...It'd be cheaper and less time consuming without the lab reports the 4 hours that week, but if schools wanted it I would take.

Thanks again. Everyone whose responded has really upped my confidence and now I'm not as nervous about the big bad organic chem.
