What has been the hardest prereq for you?

Published

For me, having only completed Gen Chem I and English Comp II, I haven't had much trouble yet. I think physics will be the toughest though.

I have to agree with you on that one. I faile A&P 1 twice. But A&P 2 i passed with a breeze.

I would say A&P 1 because I have to memorize every single bones, muscles, nerves, organs,....oh the list goes on....

For me it was phyisiology, I took it spring 09 although I was passing it just seemed like I was not getting it and being that this is one of the most important courses for nursing, I feel like I wouldnt be successful in the program. So I will be taking it in Spring 10, since it will be a review hopefully I will understand it better:yeah:

Did I lose a year or isn't it still '08? Please dont' tell me it's '09. :banghead:

Hands down- Micro. Of course I did take it in the summer (just finished last week!!!!) I ended up with an A, but I studied morning, noon and night. It was horrible.

Anatomy and Physiology I was definetely the hardest. A&P II was a lot easier to understand. Microbiology was not nearly as hard. It was very interesting.

Good Luck~

I have to go a different route here and say MATH 150 was my hardest (college algebra)and it was the only thing I could not pulll of an A in:(

though I have complete all my Anatomy and Physiology credits~I still need medical micro though but wont be taking it til next summer between NSG 201 and NSG 301

I think it will depend on you personally...I have a flair for the scientific and I had to work VERY hard just to come out of that math 150 with a C..so while others were stressing over A&PII kidney function stuff I was far more worried about logarithms and conic sections!!!

Best of luck though and go in with a positive attitude!

It would be a toss up between...

First semester Physics (horrid teacher...blech)

and

One semester whole-body A&P course.....that was just brutal!!

Last Fall I was taking A&P II and Micro but had to drop due to alot of stuff going on. But from what I had taken I liked Micro alot and found it interesting. A&P II was so/so but I think it was the teacher so I switched teachers for this fall. I loved chemistry and thought it was the easiest of all the sciences.

I did very well in A&P I Lab, got an A, but in lecture I had a tougher time and got a B. I always left the classroom after a test thinking I did awesome only to find out I didn't do as well as I thought. And then the one time that I just knew I bombed the test, I aced it! Go figure.

Microbiology was the hardest one (but for the grace of God!), Chem I was mind-boggling, the B I got felt like a gold medal. Nutrition, though it doesn't involve as much mind gymnastics as the other two was hard because half the time I didn't find the class interesting enough, and the other times, I just felt like I get a scolding about my eating habits everytime I go to class.

I didn't have to take physics..thank goodness!! lol!! But my fave was microbiology and apI. Microbio lab was soo much fun. My absolute least favorite was apII.

interesting. i am going to be new college student. so we get different grades for lab and lecture?? when we apply, does the nursing program take both grades or just one or the other? thanks in advance
