I was just wondering what everyone's fall schedule is like. In order to be accepted into our ADN program you need to have A&P I & II done, math, english and philosophy already done before you even apply. It's interesting to see that some are accepted before even completing those courses. I have also already taken Micro, sociology, psychology, political science and speech so those are out of the way. We have to have those done before we graduate, except for Micro which needs to be done before the 2nd semester!

When we got our acceptance letters, they allowed us to take Pharmacology in the summer. It's brutal but we're making it. Beaming525, Debstr and I are all in the same program...are we lucky to meet here first and then be in the same class? Hi Louisa and Debbie!!!

Anyways, I will only have 8 credits this fall. Not too bad huh?:rolleyes: I will have nursing 101 lecture, lab and one day of clinicals. Yahoo!!!!

Let us know what your first semester will be like!

Chemistry....woo-hoo!

I'm 43 and still have a lot to go. We can do it!!! I noticed that some of you have a class that meets only once a week. What's up with that? I think I would fall behind if I had Pharm. only Monday's. Is that how it is in most nursing schools?

This is my first semester in the actual nursing school. I have been getting my prereqs out o the way. This fall I am taking:

Patho

College Chem 1

Master Student in Health Care (an oreintation class)

Financial Aspects of Health Care

History and Trends in Professional Nursing

Health and society

I could not take "nursing 101" because it is only offered in the spring, and I have to have patho to take pharmocology. I guess those and a couple of other nursing classes that have patho as a preq will be spring 2003:)

From Canada here and my pre-reqs. for our Pre-Health are:

1st semester: Physics

Chemistry

English (Reading in Health Sciences)

Critical Thinking/Reasoning

Math

Biology

2nd Semester: Continuation of Biology & Chemistry

Physics

Math

English (Writing in the Health Sciences)

, debbie!

i think you would have to consider the length in time is spent in that one particular class, which includes a lecture and lab component. in my case, pharmacology is only 1 credit hour and it last for three hours each tuesday, so only once weekly is required and since this is the case, one should keep up because you will have time to study ahead and be abreast for the next week or so one would think. :)

Just for a change of pace, I'll post my schedule for the fall. I will be in my second/specialty year of a bridge MSN program. Those of you who see MSN/nurse practitioner in your future here's a look.

Theorectical Foundations of Advanced Nursing Practice

Advanced health Assessment/clinical Reasoning (lab)

Advanced health Assessment applications for Acute care NPs (this is a clinical rotation)

Advanced physiologic foundations of acute care (medical physio)

Advanced pharmacotherapeutics for acute care

Pathophysiology and collaborative management in acute care I

basic dysrhythmias

I'm taking 7 credits this semester. Nursing 107 is split up into 4 sub-classes ( I guess that's the right word...lol) Laboratory, Lecture, Tutorial and Lecture. I'll have these either from 8:30 - 11:20 or 11:30 - 2:20. Except for clinicals which will either be on Tues. or Thurs. from 8:00 - 2:00. I also have to take Medical Mathematics and that will be either on Mon. or Wed. from 2:20 - 3:15.....and that's it. No classes on Friday!!!!....Yayyyyy!!!!

This will be my first year of a 2 yr. ADN/diploma program. Luckily I have completed some of the required courses already. While the school recommends that a prospective student get some courses out of the way, and that it certainly helps your case when applying, it is not necessary to complete all of them. So, my schedule is this:

Monday-A & P lecture 9-9:50 and Lab from 12:30-3:20

Tuesday-7-3 Nursing 120 Foundations

Wednesday-A& P lecture 9-9:50

Thursday-7-3 Nursing 120 Foundations

Friday-A& P lecture 9-9:50

The first semester nursing begins with community health fairs and LTC facilities.

I'm trying to get as many of my prereqs done by year end so I can apply for the nursing program that begins May 2003...I'm taking College Algebra (3 cr hrs), Gen'l Psych (3 cr hrs), which is an 8 wk "fast-track" Saturday class (from 7 Sept thru 26 Oct), and then A & P II (lecture & lab) for the 2nd 8 wks on Tues/Thur (4 cr hrs). The Algebra and A & P II classes are evening classes, because I'm still working full-time until I'm accepted to the program. I plan on taking Microbiology and Sociology in the spring, so the only non-nursing class I have left to take in order to graduate is a Humanties class, which I'll probably take on-line.

I know its alot to handle, especially while still working full time, but I have a 4.0 GPA so far, and I do love school, so I know I can do this...I am very focused on my goal!

congratulations on your 4.0!
