How many credit hours are you taking fall semester?

Published

I am taking 18 credits (5 classes plus a lab), and working. I hope I am not in over my head.

How many are you taking?

Specializes in LTAC, Telemetry, Thoracic Surgery, ED.

18 this semester......LPN program for 10 months then on to LPN-RN bridge....

Wish me luck. I plan on working weekends unless there are any volunteers to pay my mortgage? Any takers?

I'm taking 14...and I'm thinking now that I've gone a little crazy. I'm hoping I'm not biting off too much!

Specializes in NICU.

I have toyed with the idea of taking more, but since I have previously been taking classes through the UoP online (working towards a different degree alltogether for a year before I decided to abandon that for my life-long true goal of becoming a nurse) and am used to taking only one 5-week class at a time, thought I'd better start out small. Sooo, I am taking 7 credits only - A&P I and Human Growth and Development. I will probably wish I had taken more later, but better to regret it this way than to wish I hadn't taken so many and struggle with a bad grade (at least, that's what I keep telling myself). ;)

I'm also taking classes at a community college and university. I have about 20 units I will be trying to finish. I'm taking A&P, chemistry at community college level and I will be taking two required humanities, first aid and a required p.e class. I have to do it this way because i'm thinking about applying to a adn program and a bsn program I just want to keep my options open. I'm not working right now and don't plan on working. I can't do both and concentrate on trying to get good grades. If i do work it will probably be on campus. I plan on applying for many scholarship to help me through school.

It looks like everyone plans on keeping very busy this fall either with full time classes or a work/class/family combo!

I hear that. My daughter is captain of the Freshman cheerleading team at her high school. She has tumbling on Wednesdays after school, then she goes to church Wednesday night. Thursdays are the Freshman football games, 2 a night...A team and B team, and she cheers for both. Fridays are the varsity games, and it is mandatory for her to be there in uniform during at least half of the home games. (Maybe all since she made captain....guess I need to find that out!) AND.....Since I am "team-mom", and a big football fan, I have to be at all the games! :chuckle :chuckle

The little one wants to play softball...not sure how that will be sqeezed in. ugggggh

Yeah, I think taking Fall off is a good thing for me to do. lol

18 quarter hours here. Three lectures and three labs. I haven't taken that many hours in a very long time, and I know it will take a lot of discipline on my part to keep a handle on everything.

18 also. I haven't taken that many in a very long time, and I know it will take a lot of discipline on my part to keep a handle on everything.

I'm taking 13 hours..Anatomy 1 , Microbiology, Intro to Theatre, and Kardio Kickbox..I guess to work out my aggressions! I'm taking all these at a 4 year university!!! I hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew! Has anyone taken A&P 1 and Micro in the same semester???? :uhoh3:
