Diet Discovery

Im battling between two courses i want to take. So far for next year i have chosen Calculus, Functions, English, Bio, Chem, Human growth and i want to know if you wanna get into med or nursing which is a better course to take, Food and Nutrition(where u learn about healthy eating and dieting, etc) OR, Exercise science( Like body parts, what body part is connect to the other, different ligaments and all that stuff). Help?! Thanks

I think it would be better to take the food and nutrition course. Nurses don’t really deal with exercise science because a lot of that is the job of a physical therapist. It would help if you had a more focused anatomy and physiology class. In nursing school, they will require you to take a nutrition course because part of the job a nurse is to teach the patient to maintain a healthy lifestyle when they leave the hospital. Nurses need to know what foods are good/bad for certain diseases and why. The nutrition class isn’t really that hard (in my opinion), so it’s not like it’s completely necessary for you to take that class to get ahead in your nutrition class in college. Your workload is pretty full to begin with, so maybe you should consider just taking a course that you enjoy rather than what you "need" because a lot of nursing schools have a standard set of requirements to get in: 3-4 units of english, science, math, and history with a strong GPA in the science and math courses (3.0+). Community college nursing schools and schools that make you apply for the program after taking college courses are very selective, but if you get into a program that is like mine (you can get in automatically and start taking courses) then it won’t be that hard to get into it. They said my school was so hard to get into, but sometimes I look at some of the people in my class and I just want to ask my school how they got in. Especially the ones who brag about almost failing high school.
