What were/are your ADN classes?

Nursing Students ADN/BSN

Published

After reading so much on here about ADN vs BSN programs it sparked my curiosity...

What did or does your ADN program offer for courses?

I graduated last May from a 2(+) ADN program and my courses included:

~ A&P I&II (pre-rec)

~ Micro (pre-rec)

~ Biology (recommended pre-rec but needed prior to Micro ;))

~ Nutrition (recommended pre-rec)

~ Pharmacology (recommended pre-rec)

~ Medical Terminology (recommended pre-rec but added to Med Surg if you didn't have it...)

~ Med Surg

~ Fundamentals of Nursing

~ Medication Administration

~ Mental Health Nursing

~ Nursing Care of the Adult

~ Maternal Child (OB/PEDS)

~ Leadership & Management

~ Community Nursing

~ Communication

~ Culture of Professional Nursing

No wonder my head was spinning! I didn't add the typical Associate Degree required courses such as: College Algebra, Sociology, Govn't, English etc... I am just curious about the actual Nursing program courses. I also didn't add the 'types' of clinical experiences covered either. But... we can do that too if ya'll want.

It is looking to me like no matter the program they all are very similar and appear to be well rounded and apt for preparing the student to successfully pass the NCLEX as well as safely begin a nursing career.

Thank you so much guys for the input. I really do appreciate it and realize that as with me, it's not exactly easy to remember all those courses we were required to take. Amazing how we can remember the content but the courses the information comes from begins to all blend together over time.
