i need advice from nursing students or nurses. should i:
spread classes out and take 2 years to do pre-reqs and get GE's out of the way
OR
finish pre-reqs in one year and do GE's in the summer/during nursing school?
basically, is it better if i dont have to worry about GE's during nursing school or are GE's really the de-stressor classes?
if you were me, would you rather wait 5 years to graduate OR just 4 years PLUS summer classes?
thanks a bunch!!
Get the GEs out of the way!!!!!! For me, it ****** me off to have to worry about a stupid assignment for a simple class when I had a Med-Surg test the next day worth 30% of my final grade. When I took easy classes mixed with difficult classes, I usually made better grades in the hard classes because I spent more time on the hard stuff and BSed a lot of the simple crap the night before. IMO you should take the summer off to relax and have fun with your friends. What a difference a break will make! Besides you have the whole rest of your life to work!

good choice. people in my class that had to take classes for graduation envied everyone that finished everything prior to nursing school b/c we got our summers off and they had to continue taking classes.
