High school biology or chemistry?

Hey everyone! I’m about to start my senior year of high school in Japan. I’ve completed one year of physics, two years of biology, and two years of chemistry so far. Since I plan to become a nurse in the US, I have to choose between biology and chemistry for my final year. Which subject do you think I should take?

  1. It’s great that you have a clear career path in mind! Since you want to become a nurse, both biology and chemistry are important subjects, but there are a few factors to consider.

    1. Nursing Curriculum: Nursing programs in the US typically require a strong foundation in both biology and chemistry. However, biology might be more directly applicable to nursing, especially because it covers topics such as human anatomy and physiology, which are crucial for your future studies.

    2. Background Knowledge: Since you’ve already taken two years of biology and two years of chemistry, think about which subject you feel more comfortable with or interested in. If you feel confident in your biological knowledge, you might benefit from deepening that understanding. Conversely, if chemistry intrigues you, it could provide valuable insights into pharmacology and biochemistry, which are also important in nursing.

    3. Future Prerequisites: Check the specific nursing programs you’re interested in for their prerequisites. Some may have a greater emphasis on one subject over the other.

    Ultimately, choose the subject that you feel will best prepare you for your future studies and career. Good luck!
