Nursing School Advice

Specializes in Critical Care, Capacity/Bed Management.

Okay Hi, My name is Giovannie and I am currently a CNA a in Elizabeth, NJ. I have been doing my pre-reqs for nursing school for a year now and finally got my invitation letter to the school of nursing. Problem is I already registered with a full class load of:

1. Child Psychology

2. Anatomy and Physiology

3. English Comp II

4. Sociology of Policy and Welfare

In your honest opinion should I take the introductory nursing course im being offered or should I wait and maybe lose my place. HELP!!!

That's too much. You're going to have to drop some of those classes if you want to keep in the program. If you give up your spot are you assured a spot later when you can knock out some of these classes?

that is a lot of classes

nursing school is very tough. A lot may enter... and only a few graduate!

priority- nursing school- or extra classes...... I would take just nursing school

I'm moving this to the student nurses forum where you might be more input about that course load.

Good luck.

If you can take the nursing course before you have completed some of the others I would definitely do that because I'd hate to chance losing your place. I'd check to see if your school will accept CLEP exams for Eng2 and Sociology. Good luck.

How did you get into nursing school without the second English Comp class under your belt?

Get thyself into nursing school any way you can. But NOT with this extra load - you'll never make it.
