Q: I really want to become a nurse when I grow up. I am very fascinated with the field, and what they do. I know so much about medicine, human anatomy, and other things. But I am doing so horribly in my Chemistry and Biology classes. I don't get a lot of it, and I know I would need to learn it in order to become a nurse.

I know Biology is partly on human anatomy but that's not what I am doing horribly on. Just generally on other stuff. And chemistry, I don't get anything in that class, and it frustrates me.

Does anyone have any tips to excel in these areas so I can better my chance of being a nurse?

The most important part of biology for a nurse is the Anatomy part and you said you didn't have a problem with that. Even though biology and chemistry are involved with nursing neither is as important as anatomy is. Try to get some help with those but don't stress over it too much when you go to nursing school you will take them over again anyways.
