Hi All...
I am looking at what lies ahead for my courses that I need to take. Can anyone give me some insight as to what the beginning nursing courses are like? I am speaking of Physical Assessment, Pharmacology for Nursing, and Basic Concepts and Skills of Nursing.
Would it be crazy to take all of those classes together while working full time?
Any imput is appreciated...THANKS

I haven't started nursing courses, but I am taking pharmacology online. It's only a 2 credit class, so it is pretty doable. :)

With my program, we don't take any of those types of classes until we are in the nursing program, therefore I can't answer your question.
However, I just wanted to stop in and say good luck to you! :)

same with me i will be starting nursing school next semester and we have to take:
Pathophysiology
Transition to Professional Nursing Education (pretty much "how to study in nursing school")
Concepts of Health and Nursing Theory I
Foundations of Therapeutic Nursing Interventions I w/lab (pretty much the basic procedures a nurse needs to know, how to give shots, take blood, etc.)
Health Assessment
I think I'm looking most forward to taking Patho and Health Assessment. I think the most boring one will be Transition to Pro. Nursing Education but it will be helpful.
We don't take Pharmacology until our second semester.
