ADN Curriculum.. does this look right?

Published

Hi everyone, this is what my school considers their curriculum for graduating with an ASN degree. Does it look right though? It seems everyone else on this website has much harder classes, or has most of these classes as pre-requisites.

[[sem 2 has a mistake obviously, with the pharmacology and Nursing care classes, but I'm going to switch that around.]]

Thanks everyone!

Total credits required for graduation with Associate's degree

=71

All program requirements must be completed with a grade of "C" or better.

At my school, finishing pre reqs ahead of time isn't REQUIRED but it is RECOMMENDED. I had all mine finished but many of my classmates are doing extra stuff.

We can't change our classes around either. They're offered once and that's it.

Before you even consider taking nursing classes, take all the gen ed classes and nursing prerequisites first. Get them out of the way. Nursing courses are difficult enough without having to worry about other non nursing classes.

Specializes in Cardiology and ER Nursing.

Take all the non-nursing (IE A&P, Chem, Psych, English, ect) BEFORE taking a single core nursing course. You can thank us later.
