Am I Crazy?

A little background, I am on the 12 plan for a year to degree! LOL

I was in a community college, the wait list was awful, I finished 2 other programs waiting to get into the RN program. Then I started LPN school, but after GM announcing the closing of my mom's plant, she can no longer watch my 3 kids so I can go to evening classes.

So here is my dilemma, I only have 6 classes before I can apply to the BSN program at a local college. I can't go during the fall because the LPN school I was attending took my financial aid and by the time they had sent it back all the classes I needed were full (seeing as how classes begin in like 2 weeks). So In the winter I am going to have to take organic chem and A&P1. I have taken a few A&P's in various programs, 1 in the RN program at the community college, a couple in medics class, 1 in MA classes and 1 in LPN school. I did well in all of them.

So my question is am I committing suicide by taking these classes together? I have to have 6 classes done by June 15th, 2009 to apply to the BSN program for the fall.

If you are crazy then I am crazy too. I am taking A&P 1 and Descriptive Chemistry this semester along with Wellness and Human Growth & Development. Best of luck to you. It will be hard, but worth it in the end.

LOL Thanks. I just don't want to waste time, if I am not able to apply for fall 09 program I will have to wait until spring 2010 program! I don't have enough classes to take to wait! LOL

No, you are not crazy :)

Maybe I am not taking A&P this quarter but I am going to have Biology, Chemistry and CNA class. I still have problems with English (my second language). When I was looking trough books I got scared. So many new words for me! But...I will fight to the end to get A's. So if I can do it you can do it too :) :up:

I think you'd be fine taking them at the same time. Are you taking them both at the community college or the university?

Sorry about your mom losing her job.

I don't mean "waste" time there learning, I just feel that I have been in school for 7 years and have yet to complete the degree I was there for, in the first place. I am ready to move on and pursue my career as a nurse.

I am taking them at a university, Wright State. Thanks, my mom has been there for a while and she will be eligible for the early retirement program, but at 6 month shy of 50 she still needs more income to pad her for when she actually retires. I just finished my first of 4 quarters of LPN school when GM announced the closing, so I hadn't invested a lot of time, but I was still sad to drop out. Oh well, everything is for a reason. WSU will give me the flexibility to schedule classes when my older 2 are in school then I only have to worry about the baby. Plus, I won't have to be gone 5 nights a week in the beginning.

Thanks for the replies. I am hoping to pull my GPA up so I'm hoping I can get high B's or A's for a couple of quarters.

The A&P you've already taken is likely the same one you need for the BSN. I'd check to see if it was acceptable.

The reason why I was wondering is because I believe Sinclair's chemistry is at a slower pace. I moved away from Dayton about 5 months ago, and I was very sad to hear of GM's closing. I hope everything works out for you at Wright State.

The A&P I took would transfer but it's been to long. Thanks though.

Yeah I took Chem 120 at sinclair and LOVED my professor, but the reason I'm not doing the rest of my pre-req's there is that WSU looks at students who have completed pre-req's there first. They like you to do 40+ credit hours with them, the students who complete pre-req's there are looked at first from what the paperwork says. Thanks again. I know it's so sad to think that soon moraine is going to be a ghost town, unless toyota or something comes in that plant.

You're definetely not crazy lol, I'm taking Human Anatomy and Microbiology in one semester and then Human Physiology, Chemistry and Statistics in the semester following.

I didn't take any classes in Dayton. When we moved, I had just started looking at info about nursing--pre-reqs, etc. I did meet with somebody over at WSU, and she was very helpful.
