Even though they are not required, I am taking Pharmacology and Abnormal Psychology this summer to better prepare me for the long journey ahead: (> RN > BSN > Nurse Practitioner). Last semester I took Medical Terminology and Human Disease while I was stuck waiting for the application period to open. What is everyone else doing? Any tips or advice? 0 Likes

SopranoKris, BSN, RN Specializes in Critical Care. Has 6 years experience. Apr 15, 2013 Congratulations on getting accepted! I'm still waiting for my letter to arrive. Hopefully, if accepted, I'll take courses towards the BSN this summer. The less I have to take after I finish my RN, the better! 0 Likes

I typically get 5-7 days between modules (including summers) and that's been for the past 2 years, and still 1 more year to go. May not be like that where you are, but I certainly have learned when a break comes TAKE IT. 0 Likes
