ALEKS Precalc before Algebra?

[quote=cookderosa]Are you sure she can get into A&P without biology? You should check. Also, is she aiming higher than RN? Those sciences are in the pre-med sequence, not nursing. Just curious.



Yes, the fun starts minimally at the Masters level. She wants to do something in Forensic Nursing. A few family friends are persuading her to do nurse anesthesist or Medical examiner, so she's keeping her options open. She loves school, but I don't know if she will want to put the time in. Her study skills aren't the best. Funny, look at someone on paper and it looks great, but those who have had to develop good study skills because subjects just didn't come easy for them I think end up being better equipped for long term studies and higher professional degrees. The " slow and steady wins the race" scenario. I have battled adnausium with her to take notes during a lecture! She listens to lectures and never makes flash cards for terms. Drives me insane, because things never came that easy for me. Don't get me wrong - not saying a wing and a prayer and a little osmosis never worked it's way into one of my college classes! I just dont think that works in med school. She's still young.
