Questions about classes answered

Hi Corinne,

I’m glad run into your web link, I’m going to take some pre-requite classes this summer for Nursing program,

my question to you is did you study Human Biology before taking Human Anatomy & Physiology I ? I can take general Chemistry then Intro to Chemistry then to Human A & P but the adviser said it’s very helpful to take Human Biology to make Human A & P easier, I understand but on the other hand, if I can jump skip any recommend by not required classes, it will surely help to shorten my pre-requi time.

Just want your opinion since you’re just down this road, and thank you for your effort & kindness to share information.

Sincerely,

Chris

One thing I would recommend is meeting with your adviser at your college and get the list of classes you need to take and get their recommendations on the order which will make it more helpful.  My college names things slightly different and we don’t have a human biology and our general chemistry is the same as our intro to chemistry.  So Here are my very general recommendations.  First a cell biology or class that explains the basic working of cells and organelles would be helpful for a Human Anatomy class then I would absolutely recommend taking your chemistry classes before any Human Anatomy or Physiology classes.  The Physiology aspect of things deals a lot with chemistry and any back ground you have ahead of time will only make things easier.  Many colleges also have math requirements you must meet before taking certain chemistry classes.  So, when planning your schedule be sure to take that into consideration.
