I am very excited about beginning an ADN program in the Fall at BMCC in New York. I have taken a somewhat challenging curricula in the past when my major was Computer Science, and prior to each semester I would get the curriculum notices from professors, obtain the books and try to read as much as I could (regardless of the volume that I didn't quite yet understand, which was a lot!). However, I will only be taken pre-nursing requisites in the Fall and I am curious about the possibility of overwhelming myself with the sheer volume of information. With computer science, problem solving, understanding a concept and syntax was key, and then applying that concept (algorithm, etc.) as a solution for a wide range of applications made up a large part of the work. The nursing material on the other hand strikes me as being a lot of concept and even more sheer memorization.
Of course, the analysis of a newbie. But tell me I'm wrong! And please let me know if I'm putting the cart before the horse in attempting to "preview" the material before each course.
