Fall 2016 Schedule. Help!

[Lessh, LPN]

Right now I am currently scheduled to take:

BIO 1200

ENGL 1111

FYEX 1000 (First Year Experience) Its a required class.

HLTH 1215 (Medical Terminology) Not required buy recommended.

My counselor put me in HLTH 1215 instead of the Math class I need. She thinks it would be too much for me since I'm take biology. Im starting at a very low level so it would be MATH 0745 (Pre-Algebra)Graded as Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory. I need 3 semesters of math. If I don't take it now I would have to wait an extra year to apply to the ADN program. I plan on take classes in the summer. What you guys think? Would it be doing to much if I tried to take Math this semester.

Have you discussed your concerns with her? I would probably want to start on math sooner if I were so remedial. On the other hand, it does no good to rush through if you're only creating a shaky foundation. You need to keep your grades high.

Yes. I told her when she scheduled my classes that I was worried it would take too long. I was thinking about maybe dropping the BIO and taking Math since BIO is Friday and Saturday. I took the last slot for BIO. IDK

Only you will know what kind of course load you can handle.

That being said, if the only reason you want to switch to math is that you can start your ADN program sooner, I don't think that's a good idea. If you want to take math because you think you can handle it, then go for it.

Personally it would drive me nuts to know I was taking a not required class (medical terminology) in place of a class that was required. Only you know yourself though, so think about previous school experiences to know if you can handle the work load.
