Nursing I = Orems theory, writing care plans , basic diseases and disorders. One clinical day and one lab day a week. I was lucky and go a tele floor for 15 weeks.

Nursing IIa= Adult med surg, it is more in depth about diseases and disorders, also psychiatric disorders. 2 days a week in clinical with 10 weeks in med surg and 5 weeks in psych (hated the psych rotation).

Nursing IIb= Pediatrics, maternity, and geriatrics. In depth lectures about diseases and disorders effecting pedi patients including the new born, geriatrics, and mommies . clinical 2 days a week. 5 weeks of pedi with one day in the NICU and another shadowing a school nurse, 5 weeks of maternity with one day attending a delivery and another with a home health nurse doing a well baby visit, and 5 weeks of geriatrics. I was lucky again and got a tele floor for my geriatric rotation.

Nursing III = Lectures about diseases and disorders requiring total nursing care (wholey compensatory). 2 days of clinical with med surg. We got to choose our place for this last semester. It is seperated into 2, 7 weeks rotations. I am lucky enough that both are mine are in tele units, the first was on cardiac tele and my next rotation which starts in a week will be in a respiratory tele unit with some vented patients.

It is looking to me like no matter the program they all are very similar and appear to be well rounded and apt for preparing the student to successfully pass the NCLEX as well as safely begin a nursing career.

Thank you so much guys for the input. I really do appreciate it and realize that as with me, it's not exactly easy to remember all those courses we were required to take. Amazing how we can remember the content but the courses the information comes from begins to all blend together over time.
