Curious..What classes were in everyone's first semester?

Published

I was just wondering what classes you had first semester? I am done with everything except the core nursing classses, so first semester will be only Nursing Fundamentals and Pharmacology. Next semester is only Med-Surge I and OB, etc. I'm curious because I want to know how overwhelming it's really going to be. I was just curious, with two classes, would you struggle? Was it really that much information? Or was it too much information because your first semester included math, nutrition, patho, etc? Thanks for the info!

Our first semester is Introduction to Health Concepts 10 credit hours.

First semester of BSN program at VSU:

Nursing Care I (Fundamentals)

Health Assessment

Professional Nursing Development I

Nursing Pharmacology

Fundamentals - 9 credits

Pharmacology - 2 credits

Math - 1 credit

It was a LOT for me to handle. I have a college degree in another field already and I thought 12 credits would be a piece of cake, but I was sorely mistaken! I barely passed.
