Help with extra class

Published

I need some advice, so I've taken all my pre req classes and in August I'm submitting my nursing application for clinicals, while I'm waiting, I want to take another class, but Ive taken them all, including 2 classes that are part of my nursing program that are non nursing related. I checked out the BSN program that I'll be transferring to once I'm a working RN, and all of those seem like I can't take them till I'm a nurse...any suggestions on a class I can take while I wait that would be beneficial as well? Oh and it has to be financial aid usable. Thanks!!!!

Depending in your regional area, a foreign language class like Spanish may be useful. A sociology or world history class may be informational. It really depends on what you are interested in.

Some programs require a statistics course. Others require pathophysiology.

Or go out and pick any course that sounds interesting to you. Art or music? Psychology or philosophy?

You can ask your adviser for a class to raise your grade point average they usually have a few that are good for financial aid. A computer class like access and excel, sign language, a physical education are useful.

I do need to take pathophysiology, but I was thinking u have to be in the program for that? Anyone know? Also my friend, who is now a new nurse, said medical terminology class that she took like, 20 years ago, she's benefiting from now, what do you all think of that?

I believe medical terminology can be very helpful.

Medical terminology will help you throughout school. It will make it easier to read charts when preparing for clinicals.
