Dr. Frank’s Answer

Coursework should include English/language arts, algebra, geometry, biology and chemistry. Other recommended courses include physics, psychology, speech, foreign language and anatomy/physiology. Many college advisors recommend higher-level Advanced Placement (AP) classes when possible. To do a nursing degree, you will usually need five GCSEs (A-C) including maths, English and science, plus at least two A levels with one in a science or health-related subject. Alternatively, a level 3 vocational course in science or health and social care may be accepted

Sharon’s Answer

The sciences - especially biology and chemistry - will provide good background for future pathophysiology, nutrition, and pharmacology courses. Having a good math background helps with confidence in calculating medication dosages.

It can be really helpful to call a few schools of nursing in which you are interested to ask them about their prerequisites for admission!

Richard’s Answer

There is no set curriculum. However, you should take as much science as possible. Also I recommend taking AP classes. AP credit can save you time and money in college
