FAQs
What prerequisites do I need for nursing?
A general requirement for nursing school is a solid background in biological sciences. Typically, this includes at least some exposure to Anatomy and Physiology (two levels), and most often, a course in Microbiology. Other relevant courses, which may not be required but help you prepare for nursing school include psychology, chemistry, sociology, and algebra and/or statistics.
Can you get into nursing school without prerequisites?
At several colleges it is possible to start nursing school without any prerequisites. Freshmen usually only need a high school diploma or GED. Students are usually strongly advised to take some, if not all, general education courses before they begin.
How long does it take to complete nursing prerequisites?
The answer depends on your previous educational background. Most students complete the requirements in about two years. Those who have already taken courses in high school may meet the prerequisites even sooner.
Are nursing prerequisites hard?
It is a matter of opinion whether nursing prerequisites are hard. For most, the hardest part is finding enough time to study. So take enough time for the prerequisites and you will complete them successfully.
How does Lecturio's Nursing Prerequisites course help me master these topics?
