That is what my schedule was this year and what it looks like for next year (I will be a senior). At my school 12 credit hours is considered full time. I have some Gen Ed classes in there to make 12 credit hours each semester. The leadership is actually done in what is called a May term. It is 3 or 4 weeks of class 2 days a week and then working three 8 hours shifts per week.
I hope I haven't left anything out....LOL It has been a whirlwind this year and I am looking forward to catching my breath this summer.
OOPS :imbar forgot to add that I have clinical with each nursing class. Clinical is 2 days a week (5 hours each day). And I had a few clinicals with pharmacology. Hmmm did I get it all???? LOL

Senior year semester II (May 2003)
-Nursing professional practice IV- 3 credit hours include 4 weeks of community
-Nursing health management IV- 2 credit hours
- Professional nursing capstone- Get to choose the area we want to be in, for me it looks like Pediatrics- 4 credit hours for 9 weeks
-Health care management/Economics- 2 credit hours
Now, for those who are extra-observant let me explain my second semester junior year and first semester senior year. Due to my class size of about 39 and only so many instructors they had to divide us up. The computer randomly selected where we would go. Well, for this semester I am doing classes like health management III, and professional practice III, and seminar III this semester which includes Peds content, Ob content, community and so is half my class the other half of my class is doing what I will be doing my first semester of my senior year in August which are the same classes I mentioned but they are II. So then I will be doing adult med-surg, pysch, ICU content and clinicals. So no it was not a typo.
