by LindseyRN86 May 25, '12I know I have to take 4510 first, but have any of you taken anything with it? When I was looking through the admission e-mail it tells you to register for atleast 3 classes for financial aid to be effective and not get messed up. So what do you all recommend?

May 25, '12 by cincinursemaryHi Lindsey
I just got started in March. I took the first course alone b/c it has been so long since I was in school It is a 6 credit hr course and as such qualifies for financial aid. You have to take 6 hrs. for finacial aid, I think. Are you starting summer or fall? You can take each 5 wk course alone, and you will over the course of the semester take 3 courses which should give you enough credit hours. I would ask your advisor or the office of financial aid.
I know some students didn't have much luck with their advisor, but mine was helpful.LindseyRN86 likes this. -
May 27, '12 by Simply ComplicatedKeep in mind, for full time credits, it is 12 credit hours during the semester. So if you take one class every 5 weeks in a 15 week period, you will meet the requirement. How long has it been since you've been in school? It's an adjustment for the first class, and is A LOT of work. I am taking 2 classes at a time here coming up, but I probably would have struggled a lot. Others may disagree though.
Make sure you look at the schedule of when all the classes are ordered, and plot things out.LindseyRN86 likes this. - May 28, '12 by LindseyRN86Quote from Simply ComplicatedI just finished an online statistics class so I am quite comfortable with taking online classes. I am going to register for 5 classes for the first semester starting with 1 class the first 5 weeks because you have to take that class alone. But do you have any suggestions on what I should take together?Keep in mind, for full time credits, it is 12 credit hours during the semester.

I will be going full time so I think I may take 5 courses starting this fall and then 6 next spring and finish up some loose ends in between. Hope all is going well with your schooling!! Do you have any suggestions on classes to double up on?Hi Lindsey

What electives do you need take? Look at what classes are offered when and start mapping out your schedule.
I'm done with the program, but I doubled up on nursing classes or took a nursing class w/an elective. I needed 4 electives (junior english, stats, nutrition, and art). I think once you map out what all you have take, it's easy to determine what classes you want to double up.
Good luck to you!! - May 28, '12 by LindseyRN86Quote from deltaroxxy2First off CONGRATULATIONS!!! How long did it take you to complete the program? I think you are right I have stats done now and will be taking music and nutrition this fall and might possibly need english. I will plot a little to figure this all out I am just afraid I will do something wrong and pick the wrong class with eachother and make it awful for myself! Thanks!I think the best way to determine how to double up is to first look at all of the classes that you need.

Good luck to you!! - May 28, '12 by Simply ComplicatedI agree, first write down all you need to take. See what electives are necessary, because they are not always offered each block. I just started in March, so I'm not really sure on all the classes. Plus with the new combined courses, it's kinda new to everyone. But you will be able to see which nursing classes are offered when. So you just have to kinda go through and see what is offered when, and that will really determine what you take together.

I started in Jan 2011 and finished April 2012…Including the 6wk break we get over the christmas holidays. That was my only break. Took 1 class Spr 1 and Spr 2 terms, then doubled up, until I took my last nursing class which I took solo.
Music w/PRof B is extremely easy and if you just do the study guide at the back of every chapter and literally MEMORIZE everything (I know easier said than done), you'll ace nutrition also…I enjoyed business comm w/Prof P. Was my favorite class in the entire program. Good Luck to you!! - May 29, '12 by LindseyRN86Thanks!! Music is ok? Are they proctored tests? Music 120? Nutrition is ok too?!
