How many classes do you have left?

Sometimes I feel like I'll be doing pre-reqs for 2 years!!

Just wondering how many pre-reqs others have to do and how far along you are?

I have to do:

Psychology 101 *DONE*

Math 082 *DONE*

Math092 *1/2 way done*

Math 122

Biology 156 *1/2 way done*

Chemistry 130

Biology 201

The fact that I started on the bottom with the math is what sucks so bad. Plus I had no bio from high school or chemistry to transfer over.

My goal is to be done with pre-reqs by December 2009.

I know how you feel! I started thinking about pre-reqs in 2005, when I finished undergrad. My list is as follows:

Chem I- Undergrad

I've been working on them since about Fall 2007. Even though I am done with History and Government I am retaking 3 of the 4 to raise my grade in them. I can't wait to finally be DONE with them at the end of May.:D

I know how you feel as well... I graduated from high school in 2005 and I have been going ever since..part-time took 1 semester off and repeated a few courses for a higher grade!

I think I have 2 more humanities and electives to take before I petition to the nursing school of my choice!

So I will be done Fall 2009, and will be in my nursing program Spring 2010 hopefully.

Nursing School of Choice: University of Maryland School of Nursing (Baltimore MD campus)

Hey! I just started... my list sucks compared to yours

A&PI (Spring 09)

Nutrition (Spring 09)

Chem (Spring 09)

A&PII

Human growth & Dev

Micro

Pathophysiology

Music Appreciation...seriously

Psychology

Sociology

Statistics

Organic & Biochem

University Seminar (no idea what it is, U requirement)

Intro to Bio (DONE)

English (DONE)

I'm expecting to be done all of them the Summer of 2010. Then I have to take a year of junior nursing type classes, part time again, this time to get my resident status so I can get tuition WAY cheaper. I am going to be applying in the Spring of 2010 for the Fall 2011 program. But if I get in then graduation is in sight in Spring of 2013, lol!

It looks like you are all getting your BSN, right? That's a TON of pre-reqs!!

How it works here, is.. since it's such a long wait to get into the ADN program, you can get the ADN program pre-reqs done, then once you are on the waiting list for the 2 year program you can start taking the RN-BSN pre-reqs. Which is what I plan on doing. The wait for nursing school is probably 3-4 semesters.. which is another 2 years worth of schooling before the actual nursing program!!

Geezzzzzzzzzz louise.

But if you are all doing just an ADN program I am very surprised!! I know our program had so many pre-reqs for the ADN that they made our school cut back because we were only 30 credits away from being a BSN program lol

Man, writing it out it looks like so much! So including Spring Semester that starts in a few weeks I have 10 classes to go and 6 done. Blah.

The community colleges in my state want a lot. If don't have any prior college credits to tr over then it takes about 4 years total for the ADN - so basically the same amount of time as a BSN. And they're picky about what they'll accept from prior undergrad work so even if you already have a Bachelors you might end up having to take a lot more prereqs in short order than you thought you would.

I have the following left because I have only been able to take one class at a time due to needing to work so much and pay off a few things so I can afford to not have to work as much if and when I get into nursing school....

Intro to Organic/BioChem with lab- Spring 09

A&P I with lab - Fall 09

A&P II with lab - Spring 10

Science of Nutrtition - Fall 10

Microbiology with lab - Spring 11

I cannot take anything in the Summer Sessions because none of these classes are offered in the evening. I plan on getting the A&P books this summer though and starting on the body systems then so I can feel as if I am accomplishing something.

I then plan on applying for the Accelerated BSN program and hopefully will be done by August of 2012.

Seems so far away......
