I have A&PI & II, College Algebra, Medical Terminology, PSY 203 Human development, CPT 101, then Microbiology. Englishes, PSY 101 and Sociology are done. Im doing A&P II over this summer, and doing PSY 203 and Microbiology this upcoming Fall semester. I do want to get PSY 203 and Micro out of the way, but it will be too much during the summer time. Im planning on applying to nursing programs for the Summer/Fall in 2010 its a little less competitive than Spring.
I've been taking classes at my community college since the Summer of '07, so I'll be done with my pre-req's in exactly 2 years! I've applied for admission to the RN program (to start in August), but I haven't gotten my results back. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Math 102 (basic math)- *done*
Bio 123 (principles of bio)- *done*
Chem 120/121 (general chem)- *done*
Information meeting - *done*
Eng 121 (eng composition)- *done*
Psy 121 (intro to psych)- *done*
Humanities elective (intro to film)- *done*
CNA course - Spring 2009
Cmm 127 (intercultural communications)- Spring 2009
Microcomputer Applications (spring 09) not required for nursing
A&P 1 (summer 09)
A&P 2 (summer or fall 09)
Microbiology (fall 09)
should i nix the microcomputer class and take a&p 1 instead?.....i didnt want to over do it with the science classes but if its not a hard class then i might can swing it then i'll only have a&p 2 and microbiolgy to take in the summer then i might can apply to start nursing school in fall of 09 .....does this sound doable?
i am soo close to being done! i've been going for my bs since fall 2006....so it's been a long time coming (or at least it feels like it).... but i'm graduating a semester early. so yay!
anatomy/physiology i - done (fall 2008 - i got an a!!! seriously....the most intense class i've taken...ever...)
to do:
anatomy/physiology ii - spring 2009
life-span psychology - spring 2009
communications - spring 2009
literature - spring 2009
pathophysiology - summer 2009
gov ii - fall 2009
medical term. - fall 2009
then graduation with a bs in health! hopefully i'll be enrolling in a nursing school for spring 2010 (either accelerated or generic). are the application deadlines summer/early fall for everyone applying to nursing school for spring 2010?
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 was in the same situation myself - it had been so long since I'd been in school before (got a B.S. in '78) that for like math for instance, I had to basically start from scratch and take three semesters (pre-algebra, intermediate, and college-level). I didn't really have any bio, chem, and psych classes from my previous college that would qualify either, so I had to take those too. But I am all done with my pre-reqs now - took me three semesters to do it while working full time. Just have three co-reqs and will be taking two of them this semester (microbiology & English 101). So there eventually will be light at the end of the tunnel LOL I will be taking the NET and putting in my app for nursing school this month soon (going for an ADN for now - will try to work for BSN & MSN later while I'm working). I know that all of this seems a bit daunting at first when you start out - that's exactly the way I felt at first too ("When am I ever going to get through all of this?") but it will eventually come, and just knowing that you are closer to the goal does a lot to keep your spirits up.
