Just Starting this Journey

Published

I just finished orientation and will starting classes on April 1st. I have 37 units to complete for my RN to BSN. I have to take History, Biochemistry and Statistics along with the nursing courses. I was looking through the history class and am freaking out just a little. It looks like a lot to remember and it feels a bit overwhelming. There is a review guide with each chapter that has questions you are supposed to answer and it states to fill in your answers before printing and to do this by e-text but it won't let me type in the form.

How the heck do you type in it? This history class has 19 chapters to read, flash cards to study, videos to watch and questions to answer along the way. Gosh I hope I am prepared for this 😋

Also does anyone have any words of wisdom on navigating through these classes. Like I said I am feeling a tad bit overwhelmed at the moment.

Two weeks into statistics and I only have one unit to go then I will take my preassessment and then hopefully the exam. I am hoping to have this class done at the 3 week mark😀

Hi! I'm planning to take Stats right away and hoping to finish in under a month. How many hrs per day have you been putting in to it?

Hello MinnesotagirlRN,

I studied around 3 days a week. I also attended some of the fast paced cohorts and watched videos from past cohorts. I studied about 4 hours each time. I did not know anything about statistics so I was starting from scratch. It took me 4 weeks to finish but am sure it can be done quicker.

Thanks! I haven't taken Stats since high school so will be new for me as well. My first class is Care of the Older adult which should be a breeze, but I know Stats/Biochem will be much harder for me. Good luck!
