Child development/psychology class

Published

Specializes in Endoscopy, PACU, Emergency Department.

I am a diploma grad. and being asked to take this prerequisite. I took 12 weeks of OB which covered newborn growth and development and PEDS for 12 weeks which covered infant to 16 years. My nursing school has since closed and I am unable to get a course curriculum. Anyone else have to repeat this? Any ideas on how not to repeat this?

I took a developmental psych independent study class through university of Colorado/pueblo, and OU accepted it and it was approved before I took it. 6 months to finish, I completed in 6 weeks. 5 paper's, no test or quizzes and less than $500 for the class. I believe it w2as Psych 251 http://coned.colostate-pueblo.edu/IndependentStudy/ScheduleOfCourses/Documents/FastFacts.pdf

I'm a diploma nurse too. I have to take Psych and Child Development... I know it stinks. If you figure some way out if it, let me know. I'm planning on taking it in January.

cincinursemary I found this class very doable as I could work as fast or slow as I wanted to. The instructor was great and no pressure. I just have music and the rest of the nursing classes and I am done in April ( I hope!)

Child development is a psychology course no matter which of the two classes you choose to take. I had plenty of psych but not a child psych class so I just took this class this summer. The class I took was the 15 week child development class. I completed the class work in less than four weeks taking my time. I would have been done sooner but we were required to do a podcast. Technical issues killed my timeline of finishing in two weeks.

I took the same curriculum in school but seeing that this is a psychology course and not a nursing course, I think you are stuck. My background gave me a distinct advantage in being able to zip through this class so others might not find it as easy.

Thanks for the information! I will look into it. Since I have to take Business communications in Jan. I would like to take something that is not on a rigorous timeline.
