Please Rate My PreReq's Workload...

Published

OK everyone,

I've made the decision to LEAP! I'm applying to University of Texas at Arlington for the fast track second degree nursing program, but I have a TON of prereqs to take (or at least it seems that way). I'm doing the prereqs at a transferrable community college (Dallas - El Centro, Eastfield).

Since you guys know more about the workload of each class, please help me decide which classes to take at the same time.

Here is my first draft. Should I move some around? I only have until January 5th, 2010 to get these all finished or I will not be able to do the fast track.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!

Seems like an average amount of classes for a full time student. A lot of work but certainly won't kill you.

Hi. Also a D/FW person here, although I am going to NCTC. The only pre-reqs I needed were A&P I and II, but I decided to take Dev Psych and Microbiology now instead of while in the NS program. So, with that said....right now I am in A&P I and Dev Psych and I have two very young children and a traveling husband. It's been fine so far. A&P is a lot of work. I study for at least 2 hours every day. Taking microbiology and A&P II (both sciences) will probably challenge you, but you will do fine, I'm sure! Good luck to you!

As long as you are a dedicated student you will do fine! I took a similar course load and made it through. It will take hard work, but it is definitely doable!

I finished my prereqs at Tarrant County College last Fall. I chose to take 17 hours - A&P II, Micro, Psych, English,and Algebra - and it nearly killed me! I pulled all A's at the risk of total burnout on school. Your summer schedule looks a bit heavy. If you can slim your load down to two summer courses, that might save your sanity because A&P II is intense - just a suggestion. Good luck to you on your educational journey!

Actually, if you check the date, that was last year, Feb 2009.

At the time I didn't know there was such thing as flex terms.

I Ended up taking Dev Psych, Tech Writing and Govt during the Spring 2009

A&P I and II during the summer 2009

and Microbiology and Statistics during the fall 2009.

And no, it wasn't easy to take those classes accelerated as I did. But I did manage to keep a 4.0 GPA.

But thanks for your help.
