Help! What class should I take this summer? Also updates on me - had twins!!!

[Sarah Bellum]

First the updates, since it's been forever since I posed here:

I had twin girls last May! Annie and Erin joined big brother Kevin on 5/26/06. Annie weighed 8 lbs 11 oz and Erin weighed 8 lbs 15 oz. Both were and continue to be very healthy except for a couple ear infections. They are a joy to have but OMG the amount of work they require is enormous!

So I finished up A&P 2 right before I had the babies. I took a 1 credit Mickey Mouse class last fall to keep my loan status current. Now i am needing to take another class for the same reason and I'm wondering what I should take? With summer coming up, and 3 kids at home most of the time I don't think I can hack A&P 3 right now. A&P 2 just about killed me! There isn't anything I really *need* to take, since I already have a bachelor's degree in another field I don't have any additional general ed requirements for the program I'm applying to.

So my choices:

Lifestyle Managment 1 credit - a fitness course I've already taken, wouldn't mind taking it again

Medical Terminology 3 credits - don't need it, but at least it would be relevant

Algebra 3 credits - didn't do well in math in high school, took only very basic math courses in college the first time around, again I don't need this course but maybe it would help later on? My husband is a mth whiz so he can tutor me if I need help.

Whaddaya think?

I plan to take A&P3 in the fall (God help me!) and then micro (I think) in the spring. Hopefully my girls will continue to get more independent so I have more time to study. But I see myself taking just one class at a time all the way through prereqs so I'll be here on this board for a few more years!!

TIA!

I'm taking a medical terminology course right now and enjoy it. It has helped me learn how to break words down so I don't have to memorize every single definition.

congrats on new duo

medical term is always helpful algebra helps with stirring up the grey cells and giving you a good slant on studying

I think I would take the math class...it seems like it may be helpful....

Med term sounds interesting also....

sorry, not much help

i think the math course...since you admit that is a weakness....and language doesnt appear to be an issue for you,lol.....you could buy the book for the terminology class and learn on your own

I'm with most of the previous posters. I took Med Term 1 because at the time, it applied to points for the ADN program, but the semester I finished, they changed the point system and it no longer counted. So I never took Med Term 2, but even the first class helped so much in my understanding of medical terms. Once I get into the program, I plan on taking the 2nd part of it during the summer just to reinforce my knowledge. Good luck with whatever you choose. And congrats on your new babies!!
