How is the chemistry for nursing and allied health majors different than the chemistry for science majors?


I began college as a biology major. I took chemistry my first semester in college, it was extermly diffucult. Even the brightest kids in the class struggled through it. Average test scores scores for the class rarley left the low C range.
Recently I decided to go into nursing, of course chemistry is required for that major also. Im signed on to take it this spring. Wll it be any easier, or just different subject matter???

It will probably be more practical, and less theory. Not to say that you won't have to learn what a covalent bond is or whatever, but the new chemistry course should talk more about interactions, suspensions, measurement, etc.

It may not be easier, it will most likely be about the same type of subject matter as any chem class in that level (100, 200, etc.) Some times the subject matter is the same, but the problems are more worded toward a nursing program.

If you are taking it at a University, there will most likely be no difference and you will probably be taking it with biology, chem, and other science majors.

If you are taking it at a CC, then it will be easier and somewhat geared toward nursing.
