do i still have a chance?
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?

Hey. If you're really interested in the medical field than you have a great chance of becoming a nurse no matter what. Although, you're right, Chemistry and Biology are important so I would try talking to the teacher about getting extra help if you really want to make this career happen. I'm currently taking Bio and I know how confusing it can get! But it's like anything. Once someone explains these things to you you'll have a better understanding and it will better your career. I really hope this helped and good luck! =)

While you got great advice from other responders, I also wanted to say (as a person who has taken these classes and worked in healthcare)that these classes can sometimes be "weed-out" classes. They separate those who are maybe not bright enough or committed enough to make it through. Some tips are: 1)Take it at a community college where you will be competing against, well, less academically-accomplished people than at a large university and transfer it in (Not all CC students are less accomplished, but some are.) 2) Ask your instructor for extra help. Ask the T.A.s attend office hours. Get extra resources, like flash cards for the biology. Employ learning techniques such as nmemonics and acronyms. 3) Find the smartest kids in the class and try to get a study group together. I would have never gotten through Neurobehavioral Psychopharmacology without that one! I didn't know a ribosome from a ligand-gated channel before I went in there.
Good luck, dear. Keep trying!

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.

Have you tried talking with your professor or instructor about your grades thus far and explain to them what you aren't quite getting? That would be the first step I would have taken if I were you. maybe they will have extra time to give you or can arrange to get you a tutor to bring your grade up and help you understand it better so you can pass.
Perhaps, you might be doing better than you think and can even pull it off without. I would talk to them though as they are there to help. It would be foolish not to. If worse came to worse and you did fail these courses or decided to drop them it's not the end of the world.
You can always take them over again and excel next time. Your dream of being a nurse isn't necessarily shattered or over in that case. Maybe you would benefit from taking the courses over again and hiring a tutor. talk to your instructor about how things are going and map out a course of action with them.
