What class do you have to take to become a nurse?

Answer 1

For the associate degree in nursing, typically for most curriculum's you will have to complete the following (if you have not already done so). The below does not include the professional phase courses which include Nursing I, II, III, and IV.

• Human anatomy and physiology I
• Human anatomy and physiology II
• Microbiology
• Chemistry (inorganic, organic and biochemistry)
• English composition
• General psychology
• Child psychology
• Sociology
• Humanities electives

In addition there is pharmacology. Some schools include this within the first professional phase nursing course, while others as a stand alone course.

Answer 2

The following is particular to the associate degree level.

First, the associate's in nursing is typically an associate's of science (AS). There are some community colleges that do offer an AS in nursing. Courses included - in general - are as follows. * Human Anatomy and Physiology I and II * Microbiology * Chemistry (inorganic and organic and biochemistry) * English Composition I and II * General Psychology * Principles of Sociology * Humanities Electives The above are general education requirements. The professional phase courses are: * Nursing I * Nursing II * Nursing III * Nursing IV Each college may have its own curriculum layout. In addition, nursing programs today are somewhat competitive. You should contact the community college and request information on their admissions requirements. Start, with your home county community college. If they do not offer the program, then check with the surrounding counties.

In addition, the cost of a nursing program is expensive compared to other associate degree programs. It is not the tuition as such, but the clinical fees that brings the cost up. Make sure you have your finances in order, and make sure you apply for financial aid assistance if needed.

Lastly, many individuals are going into nursing programs today. In comparison, only a few graduate because of the intensity of the clinical phase. The reason is that they take too much of a credit load. For example, one community college I know of combines Nursing I with Human Anatomy and Physiology II in the same semester. This is too much for most students. I would strongly recommend you complete all of your critical science courses first, and as much of the other general education courses as possible before going on to your professional phase nursing coursework. When you start the nursing courses, you want to concentrate on nursing, and just nursing. This will give you a better chance of completing the program in good form.
