So i have been a nurse for 2yrs now and i'm 25yrs old. I had realized i had wanted to become a doctor about a yr ago. I want to start the application process to the post bacc schools. I'm thinking about NYU as i did my undergrad there. Anyways, as a nurse at nyu we didn't have to do biology or any major science courses. YOu know just mostly the nursing stuff. I am a little apprehensive about taking the pre med courses. I'm thinking of starting with biology. I have never taken biology in school so I am a little worried.

How hard is biology? i know that's a difficult question. I looked through the biology book and the concepts were not mind blowing. But it def looked like it would require a lot of work (which is fine) from ppls biology classes is it mostly want the teacher focuses on or is it a lot of the book or both?

I guess my second issue is related to those ppl who have never really taken a lot of hard sciences courses how did they do? I'm a little worried about taking these courses not because i don't think i can do well it's just i have never taken them before in high school or college so i have no backround. Has there been anyone out there with a similar situation? Having not a whole bunch of backround in the pre med sciences How did u guys handle it? How did guys find it getting through all the pre med classes material? (physics, chem, organic chem, cal) any suggestions? anyone that had similar situations and got through it?

i am determined to do it, but i'm just worried about failing as i have always achieved academically my goals..
Anyways sorry for the long post.
Anyone got any feed back?
