Chemistry… would you take it?
I’ll be finished with prereqs for my school’s CC RN program after this term. I’m taking a class this summer and some other classes in fall for extra points—my school recently removed microbiology from the required list and made it a bonus class. My end goal is to bridge and get my BSN (I live in oregon, OHSU is an end goal)
My CC does not require chemistry for the nursing program. We have a chem-bio hybrid course that is a prerequisite for A&P that I took last year. I was planning to take chem with lab this summer to knock it out for my BSN down the road.
My advisor advised me NOT to take chemistry because it would be a waste of time and resources since my school does not require it. I will apply to one other CC in my area that requires chem as a prerequisite for A&P (but I’ve already taken my A&P sequence by this point).
Should I take chemistry anyway? I want to trust my advisor but I don’t want to get behind. I’m taking another summer class already so it wouldn’t make or break my summer term either way
