You take as many as you can reasonably handle!

This summer, I took 4 classes (12 credits). Right now, I'm taking 6 classes (17 credits). I am currently not working, so I have enough time to devote to my studies. I am done with my pre-reqs at the end of this semester and I'm going to work on classes towards the BSN while I'm waiting to start nursing school (hopefully Fall 2013 or Spring 2014). I'm planning on 4 classes in the Spring.

Right now I'm taking three classes but next semester I'm taking 17 credits (5 classes). After next semester I can apply for the BSN program here and hopefully be starting spring 14

I'm taking 4 this semester, I'm taking 5 next semester.

I always took 15-18 credit hours. I don't work and have a 12 year old, so he's not much trouble.

currently 4 in pre-reqs. With two children under 5, one special needs and hubby gone all the time. It's about as much as I can reasonably handle!

I am always a full time student, so at least 12 credits. I pair 2 more challenging courses w/ 3 easier courses. I work too, about 24-30 hours a week.

I started midyear through, so I couldn't apply the year I started, so I got lots out of the way, and I have 4 total classes left I need to take that are prerequisite. I'm taking another 2 that are normally taken in the program (stats and technical writing). Therefore I only have 2 classes I'm taking a term. It's been nice taking so few.

I was full time for a while though.

This semester I am taking 4 classes (12 credits). I have 2 kids (1 and 2) and honestly, I don't think I could handle more than 4!

I take 3 (11 credits)...chem, AP1, and developmental psychology. Next semester I am also taking 3..micro, AP2, and nutrition, Then I apply to nursing school! I just got a job at the hospital though and I start next week so I hope I can balance my new schedule!

the most I ever took was three classes at once but I tried to keep it at two. I'm married with 4 children and have a lot of other responsabilites that go with it as any monter knows. I also made sure I took EVERY possible class I could without being in the nurisng program. We have the option of taking microbiology and physiology along with the nurisng classes but there was no way I could juggle all of that so I didn't lol! I'm in my second triemester, we have class in the summer too :( , of the RN program and most of the people who are taking med surg with Mirco are hanging on by a thread

Everyone has different circumstances that determines how many classes they take on. Take what you think you can haddle with out burning yourself out :) There is no "right" way to do it.

I think I can handle my load, I start in Jan.....with 4 pre req classes as I metioned before....I am a stay at home mom at the time, so I will be in school while my kids are in school and home with a few hours to study before they get home and I will have to study more once they are in bed......oh and I have 5 kiddos, lol so I know this will not be easy, but they are my main motivation so I plan to keep that in mind! I do feel my upcoming load will be pretty easy....

**PYSCOLOGY

**MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY

**MATH

**ENGLISH COMP 1

I agree, it definitely depends on your circumstances. I don't have any children, so I have more time to spare for studying. My classmate that I do a lot of study sessions with has 2 little girls, so she can only take 3 classes a semester instead of 4 or 5.

This semester I'm taking Intermediate Algebra, English Comp 1, General Psych, and an art elective. Next semester I have scheduled College Algebra, English Comp 2, Developmental Psych, History (required elective), and A&P 1.
