Would you rather... ?

Let's say you got into the Nursing Program at the school of your choice. However, you still have the following classes to complete alongside your Nursing classes. Which would you have rather completed as a pre-nursing student, versus taking it as a Nursing student (a student who has been accepted into a school's nursing program). Consider difficulty, time consumption, material of the course, and overall interest:

-Microbiology

-English 102

-Developmental Psychology

-Statistics

Which would you rather, or you are glad that you took, during your pre-req phase so that it lightened the load for you during your clinical "nursing" phase?

    I would definitely rather have microbiology and statistics done prior to nursing school. I think English and psych are doable with nursing school. As other posters said it would be ideal to have as many pre reqs done as possible.

    Personally, I had all mine done prior to starting my nursing courses due to the number of hours I had to be enrolled to qualify for financial aide. I did, however, take all these courses at one time. Statistics can be brutal if you aren't a math person. I found microbiology easier than A+P but I've heard different from other students so it really depends on the student. English is easy, just a little time consuming with papers to write. Development psychology, a breeze. If I had to choose two to get out of the way, statistics and micro.

    Micro 100%. That or stats.. I did stats with my prereqs but I could have done it with nursing.. it just wouldnt have been pretty. I took micro in the summer between semester 2 and 3 and I am so glad I did. I would have hated taking it with nursing. The other 2 are completely doable with nursing classes. I did them and it was fine. I got an A in both.

    My school required all of them except English before nursing school.
