you're going for the BSN, it will be a prerequisite.  It is an upper-level science class and the material is very challenging.  I loved this class because I found the information fascinating.  It was also one of the first courses where I felt I was learning things I could really use as a nurse.  It's alot of memorization, with some difficult concepts bridging biology and chemistry, but you get to learn how bacteria and viruses cause disease, how we treat them, and basic immunology.  Really interesting stuff!</div> <bR> <div> To help you out, we've scouted some great internet resources you can
