New nursing student

[Nelly134]

Hey, I recently got accepted into nursing school yay!! I’m a bit overwhelmed with Joy & anxiety because I know nursing is no joke. However I will be registering for classes soon, and wanted to know if it would be smart to take both fundamental 1 & 2 together? Or that’s extremely too much? I am not the “smartest” person that can pick up the information right away LOL… But I am capable of understanding the work. Please let me know what you guys would do! Thank you?

You may be getting ahead of yourself just a tad bit. Sometimes when courses are listed by 1 and 2, they have to be taken in sequence. Check the requirements of your program. If you’re allowed to take them together, I really wouldn’t at this time if I were you. You’d want to give yourself a fair shake at succeeding by waiting to see what kind of caseload you’re going to be faced with. You can always double up once you get a workable study schedule going. It’s important to have room to breathe so that you won’t feel overwhelmed with your new endeavor. That’s my take on it. 
Good luck to you!
