RN > MD pre reqs

Hi, I’m a full time registered nurse looking to go to med school. I need to take around 7 pre reqs including Gen chem 2, Orgo and Physics 1/2, Cell BIO and BIOCHEM. I’ll be taking the bio courses at the 4 year university that I got my BSN at. However, due to my schedule I may have to complete the other 7 classes at several different community colleges. Will this be a bad look and if so will I have a chance to explain it on my app? any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Pre med courses

Hi everyone,
I'm planning to go back to school to complete my med school prerequisites and prepare for the MCAT. I earned my BSN a few years ago, and I'll be taking most of my prerequisite courses at a community college (with biology courses at a 4-year university).
While looking at professor reviews, I've noticed that classes like chemistry and physics seem much easier with certain professors. I'm trying to decide whether I should prioritize an "easy A" or take a more challenging professor who will help me build a stronger understanding of the material.
Since chemistry and physics make up a significant portion of the MCAT, I'm worried that choosing the easier class might leave me with gaps in my knowledge. For those who have been through this process, did MCAT content review make up for taking an easier course, or would you recommend choosing the professor who teaches the material more thoroughly?
Also, if anyone has gone from RN to medical school, I'd love to hear about your experience or any advice you have.
Thanks!
