Anatomy is a cornerstone course that should be completed with high marks and must be completed before applying to most nursing schools. This course teaches the gross anatomy of human bodies between the microscopic and body systems scales.

Physiology is a cornerstone course that should be completed with high marks and must be completed before applying to most nursing schools. This course teaches the chemical and homeostatic processes of the human body.

NOTE: Instead of creating a dedicated set of Quizlets for Physiology, I'll simply refer my readers to Anatomy & Physiology 2E. A&P2E is heavily focused on Physiology, with a fair amount of Anatomy intertwined.

My recommendation for Anatomy and Physiology students would be to take Anatomy before Physiology. When you take Anatomy, learn the structures and WHAT they do (but only at a fundamental level). Next, take Physiology and study the in-depth HOW structures do what they do. My BIOL 2420 course takes some extra time to focus on the physiology of certain brain structures and on the physiology of sleep. These concepts are explored in A&P2E but not quite the same way as in the lecture for the class. As such, I'll make separate Quizlets for these which will be linked below the A&P2E sets.

Anatomy and Physiology is a 2-semester cornerstone course that should be completed with high marks and must be completed before applying to most nursing schools. This folder contains both anatomy and physiology topics utilizing the A&P2E textbook provided for free by OpenStax. It includes the gross anatomy of human bodies between the microscopic and body systems scales and the chemical and homeostatic processes of the human body. This set is ideal for physiology students who have already taken anatomy (hence why my physiology course refers students straight to here instead of separate quizlets); it is also ideal for 2-semester A&P courses that utilize the A&P2E book.

A folder with all of my A&P2E sets can be found here.
The A&P2E book combines both anatomy and physiology and can be found on OpenStax.

Sleep Physiology and Certain Brain Structures Sets
One chapter (two related topics) from my BIOL 2420 course stand out as requiring additional Quizlet sets in addition to the above from A&P2E. I would recommend reading these around the same point in time as chapters 12-17 of the A&P2E textbook.

BIOL 2320 Chapter 11 - Sleep Physiology and The Pituitary

Biology and Organic Chemistry for Nursing courses are sometimes required for LPN/LVN programs and are virtually always required for RN and BSN programs. I recommend taking this course before Physiology and before nursing school starts (for LPN/LVN as well). This course teaches fundamental chemistry principles, formulas, and related information. It is taken concurrently to a Chemistry Lab (CHEM 1135).

Elementary Microbiology is sometimes required for LPN/LVN programs and is virtually always required for RN and BSN programs. This is likely to be one of the last programs a student takes before being admitted into a nursing program.

NOTE: I have not started the Elementary Microbiology course yet, so not folder or sets have been created. I will take this course during 2027 Spring.

Human Development Across the Lifespan is a cornerstone course that should be completed with high marks and must be completed before applying to most nursing schools. This course teaches how the human body develops and changes from before conception all the way until after death.

An acceptable alternative to Human Development, as a prerequisite for many nursing programs, is Human Psychology. I took Psychology several years ago with my first Bachelor's Degree but no longer have access to any Quizlets I may have made.

Human Nutrition is an important topic that is taught in nursing school. This course is often not a prerequisite for LPN/LVN/RN programs but is still recommended. Taking this course will often provide the student with a strong foundation for nutrition related topics, may be worth "extra points" for their nursing school application, and some programs do require the course as a prerequisite. This course teaches the fundamentals of human nutrition, some nutrition related anatomy and physiology, and how different nutrients are important and affect the mind and body.

Medical Terminology is often a prerequisite for nursing school programs but sometimes it is built into the curriculum. Either way, I highly recommend taking this course before anything others as it provides a very strong foundation for Anatomy, Physiology, Human Development, Human Nutrition, CNA, and BLS. In fact, I do not have a CNA folder because I simply blended what little new content arose for CNA into Medical Terminology; by the time I took my CNA course there was virtually nothing new (for head-knowledge that is). Is this required? Absolutely not. The majority of students take med-terms after or with the rest of their nursing pre-requisites, I just find it gives an edge for anyone who does take it first.

See Misc Medical Terms (Work Environment, CNA, PCT) for starting into healthcare.
See Misc Medical Terms (Continuing Education) for information that goes beyond fundamental medical terms but that I believe are critical knowledge-points for studying in preparation for pre-nursing and nursing schools.


NOTE: These sets do NOT replace reading the Quick and Easy Medical Terminology book by Peggy C. Leonard MT MEd (ISBN 0323595995)... these sets are only intended to supplement the material learned from the book.
