Varies Right now I'm working on my BsN but in Maryland, there is a program that you can take MS wise. If you take that program, it is a hybrid of Acute care nurse practitioner / Critical care clinical nurse specialist. Once taken, you are allowed to ...

Taking three science classes is complicated. I hope you do no have any obligations because it will be even worst. I took two sciences at once with other courses during my pre nursing days and I was always on the run because exams were back to back an...

It can be accomplished, just use your time wisely. With those courses do not procrastinate, it is a lot of material especially since the semester is cut in half.
