What's on your plate this summer and fall?

I can very much relate to that feeling - I've taken 2-3-4 classes at time while working FT (and I have 2 little boys) for the last 5 years or so. It seems like it took FOREVER to finish up my first two years of pre-reqs. Now that it's finally here, I can hardly believe it.. I put in my notice yesterday at work, and I'll admit that in addition to being horribly excited I'm also terrified!

Same here.. I also put in my notice at work a week ago and now find it really difficult to get anything done at my job while thinking about everything I need to do for nursing school!

Just a CNA course in June then the rest of the summer with my little girls. Nursing school in the Fall, can't wait!

Summer- A&P I and theology elective

Fall- A&P II, Human Nutrition, Chem I lab, and possibly 1 other pre-req (i have to space them out, not many pre-reqs left before next nursing class August 05)

Spring-what ever's left before nursing program :cool:

Over the summer, my own self-guided course in PE. It seems that school has put some additional weight on me and oh do I feel it. Being fat and turning 50 doesn't sound like two things that I can allow to happen together. So for the summer, the books are out and the bicycle, the beach and weight training are in. I'm trading in my whites for bare feet walking in the surf except for the one 12 hour shift I work a week as a tech.

When I come back in the fall, I hope to be a lean mean OB student machine. I'll also have a second med-surg rotation for the second half of the fall. Theory will taking on 8 hours a week focusing on pathophysiology. There will be two required personal wellness courses (PE) as well. One is theory and the other is doing. Apparently our school is focused on nurse heal thyself.

Have a great summer whether you're in the books or working or just hanging about.

This summer I will taking Microbiology from 6p-9:45p for 10 weeks and this fall I will be starting my clinicals. I don't know the fall schedule yet cause orientation isn't till August. Will let you know then. Oh...I am also working as a CNA. I will also be trying to get everything I need before I start clinicals in fall like my CPR cert, Hep B shots, etc, etc, etc!

May term: CPR and First Aid Certification Summer: Tanning Fall Semester: Chemistry, A&P I, Persuasive Writing, Life Science I

This will be my Second Semester of a BSN program (only six to go..). Oddly enough, it takes 5 years to get through the ADN program in WI. (3 year waiting list)

Summers here are way too short to spend on summer classes.

Getting my CNA certification through a new job and looking forward to a full course-load in the Fall. That should get me through my pre-reqs and onto real nursing school. Yikes.

In about 3 weeks I start OB & Peds along with a computer course and human growth & development for a total of 17 semester hours over a 7 week period. Needless to say, I am enjoying my time off while I can because I'm really going to be busy when I go back. Then I'll have a month off and then it will be back to school for the Fall.
