Days can change though because a class I just finished that was never on Mondays is now on Mondays this time around. Another class' hours shifted radically since when I took it. Don't know why they changed it but they did. :confused:

There are definitely no Friday classes. That's the only thing you can be pretty safe planning around.

HI! You have been a great help and gave me an idea of what to expect. I start in Jan 09, and have a question. I haven't taken Bio 142 yet. I have taken my other classes required though. I was signed up to take it for the Fall, but I just had a baby and was unable to attend. Will they not let me in the program now-or do I have until graduation to complete it? Help!

I don't know--I think of all the prereqs, they would want to see the A&Ps done since you'll be using what you learn in it since day one. Talk to the nursing office ASAP.

Also, see if the bio department has a 8-week BIO 142 starting in October that you can enroll in. Otherwise, you're going to really be stuck because there's no way you can take 142 and Fundamentals together unless you take 142 online, at night (and it can't be Tue/Thu nights in case you pull a night clinical) or on the weekend.

I tried to look already for the eight week course, and they didn't have one. I will call them-is the number on my acceptance letter?

I agree with meriwhen.

A/P is a killer course. your going to struggle taking that and fundamentals.I knew someone who took micro lecture on line and took the friday morning lab. If its available that way, you may be able to do it. It won't be easy, but its one semester.

good luck!!:bow:

Beach: I've PMed you the number.

If you do take 142 online, take it out of the Chesapeake campus even if it may mean a longer drive to go to lab/tests. I've heard nothing but complaints about the online 142 through Norfolk. Plus, I know there is definitely a Friday lab at the Chesapeake campus.

Yeah, that's about the right reaction.

Wait until you start in earnest on Monday...

It may not seem like the schedule will get better--and won't seem like it for a while--but it does. Right now it's 6 hour days all week since they're cramming 6 credit hours into 8 weeks. Future classes will start having more clinical time and less lecture time.
