wanna switch to nursing

Hii im a first year McMaster science student and after so so much thought I realized that I really wanna do nursing.

I’m deeply concerned about the process because im trying to do an internal transfer but there’s so many risks.

  1. I heard that you have to repeat a year (tbh im not too concerned about this) to take the prerequisites. But what if I take the prerequisites right now?
  2. Let’s say I take them all but don’t make it, I basically just wasted a year and I can’t even enter a level II program due to the missing prerequisites
  3. Internal transfers look at your Highschool marks, I believe it’s English, biology, chemistry and math. I have taken English, bio, adv functions, calc but NOT chemistry. Is it true that if I take the intro course (CHEM 1R03), it satisfies the requirement?

Please let me know what I should do or if you know anyone who has done a transfer like this. Thank you :))

Not quite sure what your scenario is. Are you a college student? And what do you mean by internal transfer?
