HopefulStdnt--You have a pharm lab? I wonder what you do in that?

Your guess is as good as mine! They haven't explained much to us yet, as far as scheduling and what our classes are going to be like. We don't have orientation until the first day of school.

Let me get back to you in about 5 weeks!

I'm on quarters, so we're starting late September. My program is known to be front-loaded, so I have 17 credits for just 10 weeks.

Health Assessment (5)

Basic Skills of Nursing (4)

Clinical A&P (3)

Pathophysiology (3)

Pharmacology I (2)

Anxious...Nervous...Excited...It's a whole amalgamation of feelings.

HopefulStdnt--You have a pharm lab? I wonder what you do in that?

I had a Pharm Lab when I took Pharmacology. Basically you go to lab and there is power points on different desks with pictures on them of pills, or syringes, dosage calculation questions, IV questions, medicine side effects, what medicine contraindications, questions on lab values for certain drugs, etc. You bring your drug book and laboratory diagnostic book and walk around the desks and answer questions on the sheet then hand them in.

My classes start Aug 30th. I will be attending a Community College and the process starts out as an LPN program then you can move onto ADN RN. I am not sure if this is the path I will choose right now. My main goal is to be a wound care nurse:) My research shows LPNs can be wound care nurses.

I did my A&P last semester so I dont have to take that while in the Nursing program I will have 14 credits.

Good Luck to everyone!!!!

This is the first time that I'll be taking more than 14 credits a semester since my first semester in college three years ago. This is the required sequence for full time students and I didn't want to do part time.

The nursing classes start August 23 (and psych the same week), and PHL starts the week after.

I have:

Human Body I (Anatomy and Physiology - 3 hours of lecture/week, 2 hours of lab/week)

Nursing I (Theory and Application - 4 hours of lecture/week, 8 hours of lab (clinical)/week)

Then I have an english class, and a humanities class, which are each 4 hours/week.

My first day is August 25th and it's most likely going to be my clinical day, so we're going to get into learning all the basic skills right off the bat.
