Fundamentals

I've recently been accepted into nursing school (Yay Me)!!! Im confused on which class I should register for. There is a six hour class but it has three teachers, and a two hour class with one teacher. Which class would be better? Will I learn more with three teachers? Ex Monday 8:30a.m-3:00p.m (three teachers). Tuesday 8:00a.m-10:50a.m(one teacher).

I would personally choose the 1 teacher. I have 3 teachers that take turn teaching units. The hard part about having multiple teachers is they all test differently. With one teacher you will be able to understand what they require from you such as studying and testing much easier. Also, I find with 3 teachers if I have a question about the material and it is not in a section they lectured on I am turned to another teacher. Having 3 teachers isn't really that bad though. You learn their styles. Just my 2 cents :)

Are you sure there are really three teachers? Sometimes if you look on the paper it lists three teachers next to the course, but they aren't really all going to teach. Sometimes there are three different sections of the class. Meaning that there will be three classes taking place at the same time, with a different teacher for each. You will be assigned one teacher for the semester. Sometimes one teacher is the lecture instructor and the other two listed are clinical instructors. Sometimes all three are listed because it hasn't been decided who will be teaching yet.

It doesn't seem to make sense that the same class would be offered for 6 hours and then for 3 hours the next day. If they are equal classes, they have to be the same amount of hours. So are you sure that the 8-10:50 class isn't taken on both Tuesdays and Thursdays, twice a week? If that's the case then just decide if you'll be able to focus through a 6 hour class. If you don't think you can, then choose the shorter class.

This is what I bet is going on. I think that the longer Monday class is a clinical and the shorter Tuesday class is a lecture. So that means you have to register for both. Double check the ID number and symbol for the classes and see if they are different. Usually the clinicals will have a C or an L in then for lab. For example, my fundamentals class was NU 100 for nursing. My fundamentals clinical was NL 100, for nursing lab. You have to register for both the lecture and the lab. This makes the most sense, as labs tend to be longer and have multiple instructors, while lectures are shorter with one instructor.

Do you have a nursing advisor you can speak to about your schedule? Someone who can clarify this and make sure you are registering for everything you need to? That's a good place to start.
