Am I Doing To Much

[Mr I Care]

I am currently preparing to embark on my journey of nursing school this coming Spring10. I am very excited to be accepted into my local completive ADN nursing program. My drive, determination, family support and my though-out career goals has played apart in my success. However, my problem is my parents feel I am doing to much and thinking to far ahead in my nursing career. My plan is to complete my remaining required courses for my RN-BSN or RN-MSN program during the summer while I am on break from (ADN) nursing school. I want to be proactive and get things done so I wont have to worry about preqs when applying to LSU RN-BSN program or Vanderbilt RN-ACNP/FNP program.

Do you all think I am thinking to far ahead ?

Should I enjoy my breaks off from nursing school and do not take any courses ?

Any other advice you all have as it relates to my situation ?

Thank you for helping me out !

I'm taking classes now alongside the classes that I have to take for my ADN that will later transfer for my BSN. I don't really see the problem in doing so. I will have a one semester break (hoping it's only one semester!) and possibly a summer (there is only one summer session and if I start in spring, I'll end up going over two summers) - both of those will be used to continue classes that I'll need for my BSN. I don't see how it's doing too much. I also have two young children at home and volunteer each week.
