Masonsmommy and IndyIvy, Just wanted to ease your minds a bit regarding Pharmacology. I just finished up the 8 week summer course. It was not as unbearable as I had been told. I finished with a high B with only studying the night before and moring of exams (had a busy summer). It consisted mainly of memorization skill, thus the course is repetitive rather than difficult. You guys will do great, dont fret. Only a couple more weeks until classes, enjoy the rest of your summer!!

I am greatly worried about pharm's level of difficulty. I have heard from others as well the class was torture. I wasnt sure what the best route was. I was hoping even though the course time was cut in half that it would be beneficial if it was my sole focus, instead of taking the longer route with other courses simutaneously. Time will tell...Ill have to keep you posted...I may be in hysterics by the first week...an overly active two year old that still does not sleep through the night nor naps for more than 45 minutes definately complicates things!!! Its back to the heroin look for me..yea!

Im not sure why it is different for every campus. My nursing director signed me up for the pharm course today when I asked if she could/would, yet I learned this information prior (taking pharm prior to scheduled start date) from other students currently in the program. This information was not made available by the nursing dept. I found out by chance. Not sure if I made the right decision as the course is half the time, but hoping it will lighten the load in the fall as I heard a couple of the courses are extremely hard as well as domestic reasons. We will all know very soon!! Let our stress begin....AGAIN!

Congratulations Masonsmommy, I read you got your acceptance letter... I just received mine from the valpo campus. I cant remember which school you applied to... I spoke to the nursing director today and the schedule posted appears to be how they break up the classes/clinicals. I was told to take pharmacology over the summer so as to eliminate having a couple hard classes simultaneously in the fall, thus reducing the work load...so I signed up today...Might be worth looking in to...hope I am not getting to personal, but is your first name by chance Holly?? Congrats again!!!

I have a 198 and applied for fall 09. Did you apply at valpo as well. When were you accepted? Thanks so much. Im stressing!!!

Matilda I applied for the fall 09 ASN program at valpo. Do you by chance no what the score spread was to get in lowest to highest? I have a 4.0 in prerequisites but as I have been out of school for 15 years my teas score was only a 75.3. Any input would greatly aid in my stress management. Thanks
