Nursing Students General Students

Published

susan, i saw your question regarding what classes will i take during my 2nd semester and decided to start a seperate thread to ask others the same question.

my classes are as follow:

adult health i [med/surg] 1st 8 weeks

maternal child/ob 2nd 8 weeks.

i will be in lecture [mondays and thursdays] clinical [tuesdays and wednesdays] for a total of 9 hrs.

i'm not looking at my schedule, so, i hope i didn't mix the days up.

Hello Everyone!

I'll be taking A&P II, College Algebra, Spanish II, and Music Appreciation

The only class required for my ADN program is Anatomy...the others count toward an AA degree...

I figured since I had to go to a community college for 3 years....I might as well come out with 2 degrees!

This will be my 3rd semester out of 4 semesters (my program is an accelerated 14-month deal and the scheduling is really weird).

I will be taking:

maternity

psych

peds

pharmacology (part 2 of 3)

a short genetics course

some ethics stuff thrown in

discipline of nursing (part 3 of 3)

and it seems like there's something else...

Then we also have a 1-week-long course squeezed in at the end of the semester. I think it is about OB, peds, and psych clients in rapid decline. (We just did adult med-surg this fall and at the end of the semester did a 1-week-long course about "the client in rapid decline." I think they modify it to an OB, peds, psych version in the spring.)

I'm really looking forward to this semester ... really interested in OB, peds and psych.

To whomever it was that said "yuck" about the community health class (sorry, I can't remember who said that and can't scroll back from here) ... keep an open mind. You might end up really liking it. I loved that class. My clinical was with an elementary school nurse and it was really cool. We did not deal with scraped knees ... but rather with immunizations, health fairs, free health assessments for the kids at the school who couldn't afford or get to a regular doctor's visit (mostly Mexican immigrants), home visits, arranging care for kids with special needs, etc. It was really interesting and important work. Lots of people in my class hated it but I think they were turned off from the very beginning and didn't give it a chance after that. But there are some cool things going on in community health.

this will be my second semester. our lecture (tues. from 8-3) is 5 credit hours and called "care of clients with common health care needs." we start the semester covering ob/nursery/peds and then move on to med-surg/clients with common health problems in immobility/cardio/respiratory/neuro/gastro/endocrine. we also have 5 credit hours of clinical consisting of one half day (getting our patient(s), doing paperwork, etc.) and one full day of caring for our patient(s). not sure yet what days i will have clinicals, either wed. and thurs. or thurs. and friday.

only 16 1/2 months left until graduation!!!!!

merry christmas and happy new year

Specializes in Neuroscience ICU, CNRN, SCRN.

I'll be finishing my prereqs with Microbiology and Sociology; then the only other non-nursing class I have left to take is a Humanities, which I'll probably end up taking online. I'm applying for the nursing program as soon as I can get my transcripts when school reopens after the holidays, and hopefully will be starting the program in May.

Boy, life sure is going to be different for me, being a full time student again after nearly 30 years in the corporate America! And I'm so ready for it!

Pre-reqs here... Chemistry and Sociology on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:30-3:15.. This is my first attempt at school in over 10 years, so we are taking it slow. I have 2 little ones at home that will have their first taste of being away from mom and with a sitter. I hope this all works out. Kind of scared but very excited..
