Crazy?? Anatomy AND Physiology 8-week Summer courses

[livinglighthouse]

If you have all your pre-reqs done you get preference in the nursing program......so I would really like to have these last classes done this summer.

But am I crazy to try to do both???

I have 3 kids home for the summer.......I have NOTHING planned during the school week, but my weekends are packed getting ready for a mission trip in August and a couple of camping trips.

I took anatomy before about 15 years ago (have to take it again though, required in the last 10 years) so I figure I have an upper leg in that class, having taken it before.

What do you think????????

I am also taking A&P 1 over the summer, 4 days a week for 8 weeks. Hope we all succeed in our adventure.

Wow, my A&P 1 is 5 weeks then II starts for another 5 weeks. How long are your classes?? Mine are 4 hours apiece 4 times per week.

I am also trying to learn medical terminology on the side from library books. Is that a good idea?? Or am I making myself nuts?

[livinglighthouse, ADN, RN]

Ours are separate classes and the summer session (there is only one per summer) is 8 weeks long. It meets 3 times a week

Sounds like we are about to have alot of fun!

Where are you all taking these classes for 10 and 8 weeks? If you can point me to some of them I'd appreciate it!

My school does the accelerated summer thing for those classes as well. I did NAS 161 in 6 weeks! Of course my 1 year old son was in day care. I did a lot of studying and did not take the 5 week NAS 162!

Because of the age of your children, I think you won't have any problems. Just work your butt off, nothing you won't be doing while in the nursing program...

I am taking them both this summer.

I have two very young children, one 3.5 and one 1.5. I am a good student, and think I will do well. I also work part time.

The kids will be in full time daycare this summer so that I can study. To me, it is worth it to really really really work my tail off for a short period of time rather than drag it out.
