Hey everyone. I'm picking out classes for next semester. So far I have:
-Eng 2
These are the classes I'm trying to decide what pairs well with each other. I'm the type of student that can get As in hard classes if I only take 2 hard classes per semester paired with 1-2 easier classes. Here they are (they are all requirements for the ADN program here at my school):
-Statistics
-Chem 1
-A&P 1
-Microbio 1
-Devp Psych
-Urban Studies
I planned on taking Chem + Stat but I took algebra this past semester and bombed it (got an F , luckily it's not considered for the RN program). I figured taking two classes that require a decent load of math wouldn't be too smart since I need to maintain As to be accepted for this program. I'm not poor in Math, I just haven't taken any since senior year H.S. so my foundation is weak.
Should I take ENG 2, Devp Psych, and Urban studies + a non-required class like history?
My goal is to maintain As, since the program is very competitive (3.8 recommended, I have a 3.7 right now, 2.7 cumulative)
I think a developmental math is a good idea. If you're not solid with the base needed for algebra, you might also have a hard time with stats. My school requires algebra for stats. Also, you'll be doing math in the nursing program. It's not quite algebra, but I think dev. math will be very beneficial to you.
I agree, I think it will be beneficial to me. Here's what I got for next semester
ENG 2
AP 1
Develop Math Course.
I need one more course to be full time. I'm thinking a class that is not required but will be beneficial to my education like a public speaking class, medical terminology, or a language. This way, I can definitely get As in AP, ENg 2, and at least a B+ in the develop math (i am striving for an A regardless, my math concept is good). WHat would you recommend?
I would go ahead and take the developmental psych or the urban studies.
Developmental psych isn't particularly stressful. You might as well get some required classes out of the way. Save the extra classes for when your done with requirements but need something extra.
I also recommend Religions of the World if you ever need an elective. It made me realize how little I knew of other religions (and not everything that I've been told growing up as a Baptist was true). My nursing program stressed how important it is to be culturally sensitive, but taught very little of different cultures.
