Answer 1

You're college will make sure you choose the right classes. Of course, you will have to take the core classes: english, algebra, chemistry, etc. You also have to take the nursing related classes: pharmacology, biology, psychology, anatomy, nutrition, etc.

Answer 2

oh gee! all kinds of classes. freshman: english, science, speech. you will be taking all kinds of science classes all four years. you will have clinical experience, pharmaceutical classes, nutrition classes. i would also suggest going to the website of the college that you are interested in and find out the specifics there. every school is different. Good luck in your studies! Nursing is a very hard major.

Answer 3

Most universities with a nursing major will have a set class program that all of the nursing students follow. You'll have to do your school's generals of course (western civilization, English, writing, probably some sort of math) and then you'll have lots of science classes - biology, chemistry, anatomy, and human physiology are what i have to take. Then you'll have actual nursing classes where you learn the practical stuff (giving injections, for example). Many programs will require you to first take a Certified Nurses Assistant class (or CNA) which you can take while you're still in high school if you want, and you can often take it at a community college. The red cross offers it several times a year in my state (Minnesota) and in many others as well.
