I am currently in transition of switching schools from the East coast of Florida to the West coast. I am currently enrolled for the fall to take the following:
Anatomy and Physiology I- 3 credits
Lab for ^- 1 credit
College Comp II- 3 credits
Intermediate Algebra - 3 credits
I was trying to debate what else to take with this? I need at least one more course so I can get my full time financial aid.
My new schools pre-reqs are as follows:
Anatomy and Physiology I with Lab- Fall 2012
Anatomy and Physiology II with Lab - NEED
College Comp I - DONE
Mathematics (College Algebra or Statistics- Statistics Preferred)- Can't take this until after I finish the Intermediate Algebra- NEED - This is holding me back
Additional Co-Reqs - NOT REQUIRED TO GET INTO PROGRAM:
Human Growth & Development - DONE
College Comp II - FALL 2012
Humanities - DONE
General Psychology - DONE
Microbiology I with Lab - NEED
I kind of messed myself up with not passing my prep math and switching schools so I did not know what the new school required until I looked into moving. So I will have a lot of down time and I want to be full time both in the fall and spring so I can get in as much as possible.
Plus new school requires me to pass the TEAS exam prior to entrance into the nursing program along with getting my CNA License. Which no offense the CNA license seems kind of like a waste for me since I am not wanting to be a CNA. So I have to do this either now or in the spring not sue which yet.
If you can help guide me as to what other class I should take or if I should focus on some of my other general ed to take with these courses. The only other general ed I am missing is obviously my two maths, my area II humanities(Literature course), my social science V, (government course).
Thanks in advance for any input it is all appreciated. :) I am a great student and I do not work this is my full time career right now getting my degree so I can be a nurse. I have an excellent GPA and I have taken 16 credit hours at once but never anymore.

Hello there, I would suggest you to take a kinesiology course such as Nutrition or Health Education, or an additional science course such as Human Biology, or Intro to Chemsitry. These courses will definitally help you a lot in your nursing prereqs. In my college, we are also required to take a speech class; in order for us to have stronger communication skills in the workplace. Classes such as these will provide you with excellent people skills. Also does your college offer Medical Terminology? or Bioethics? Make sure you choose something that interests you and that doesn't overload your pre-req course work though lol :) good luck!!
thank you for all your help and advice. i am going to just take a filler class, like nutrition or something to maintain my sanity. :)
