Which courses do I include to fulfill the Chemistry prerequisite for CSU nursing programs in California?

[2bnursebunny]

I’m planning on applying to ABSN/BSN at the CSU’s in California. Most of the programs require a Chemistry prerequisite that is a combination of general, inorganic, or organic Chemistry or biochemistry. 

I went to a UC for undergrad. There I took a 3 part series for general Chemistry, a 3 part series for organic Chemistry and 2 biochemistry courses. I can’t find the UC to CSU course articulation for most of the schools. 

Does anyone know which Chemistry courses fulfill the Chemistry prerequisite in this case? I’m not sure if all the courses will be included, or just one, or the one with the highest grade.

I can't answer for California because I applied in OK, TX. All the schools I applied for took my highest grade for my pre-reqs. I was able to substitute my college algebra C for my trigonometry A for my math prereq, as well as my organic chem 1 for the intro chem for all 3 programs. But yeah at all 3 schools, they just looked at one of the courses from that area.

The transcripts you have submitted will list all courses. List all courses. The school evaluator will pick what is necessary. You don’t need to get yourself balled up in picking and choosing, converting quarter units to semester units, etc. I,too, have been between quarter units and semester units, and found that the person on the other end did it as I described. I took two thirds of the organic/biochem UC sequence, as well as the entire inorganic sequence, back then and still found that all that chem was overkill for all the nursing programs I approached since.

Thanks! This gives me relief because I was going to email the School of Nursing Admissions about all this. I took the Chemistry courses because it was part of my undergrad major.
