Joann’s Answer

I completed all the prerequisites first, prior to starting my nursing classes. That way, when I did start the nursing classes, I didn't also have to worry about biology, chemistry, etc. I could concentrate and have extra time to devote exclusively to my nursing classes. I felt I had much less stress than my fellow students.
