Who else doesn't have or need nutrition class as their pre req?

Published

Raise your right foot! lol tell me every school nursing program is different. I'm in HI and the 2 schools I'm looking into doesn't have nutrition on both their pre req or the whole list of courses. Am I the only one?

Specializes in Med-Surg, Telemetry, ER.

Nutrition wasn't a prereq at my school, but after you were admitted to the nursing program we had to take a required nutrition course just for nurses. If you don't have to take it and have any room in your schedule to add a class, nutrition should be at the very top of the list. My class was very easy and in the end very helpful. You will use a lot of what you learn in nursing and some NCLEX questions are nutrition related.

I transfered from a school that did not require for the bsn but I took it as a filler. The new school actually does have it I n their program but I cant transfer that credit in. Ive been told I can test out of it so ill probably do that. I dont want to spend anither term taking such an easy class.

I am applying to two cc and one requires nutrition and the other does not.
