I was thinking College Algebra Chemistry Philosophy Developmental Psychology But I'm not sure! Is this doable or maybe a little too heavy? I'm not very good at science or math so I'll really want to focus on those. But those are the two definite classes I really would like to take. The other two I'm not sure of yet, and I might be taking them online too. Whacha think guys? What would be the most manageable? I'll also be working part time, almost full time. The other options would be - a fine arts and appreciation course, nutrition, "general elective?", statistics, microbio, pathophysiology But I think I should probably stay away from patho and microbio for now. I'm not sure what statistics would be like but I don't know if I'd want to take that with chem and algebra. Not sure what a general elective is? Or nutrition?

Hello all. I have been looking into nursing lately. So I am 23 years old and have taken a couple of college classes. I have a long ways to go. I'm going to be taking English II (online) and Anatomy and Physiology I in August. I am nervous. How can I prepare for A&P? After that, if I survive, my plan was to take college algebra and then apply for the nursing program Fall 2015 to get my RN. But lately I have been wondering if I should go straight for my BSN because I want to work in a hospital and I've read that many of them don't hire RNs. I am just ready to start my career ASAP. If I go straight for the BSN I will be 27-28 years old. If I go for the RN I will 26 and have experience. I've read that many people go the RN route and plan on getting their BSN afterwards, but never end up getting around to it. I know many people say that it's never too late and you're never too old for school. But I honestly can't help but feel that way because have just wasted so much time after high school not knowing what to do. I also can't imagine making this little amount of money right now for at least four, five more years. I was thinking about maybe doing phlebotomy to hold me up, but it sounds kind of dreadfully boring. Does anyone have any suggestions? 1. I'm scared the schooling might be too hard for me. I never made good grades in school. I don't have much support from anyone, so I've always had a hard time motivating myself. I want to change that. But I can't even imagine myself being in school until I'm 28. Also, I dread math, really, really, really bad. 2. Is nursing for me? Other than security, I asked myself if I would seriously be satisfied with this job. - I want to make a difference. - I considered MLT at first, but I think I would get more satisfaction helping people directly. Also think I might get bored being a MLT, with never moving around much, hardly interacting with people, and doing the same routine. - I think I could handle the stress level. - I like that I can work three 12 hours shifts. My schedule has always been different than most, so this is a huge plus. - I am an introverted person. I'm pretty shy. Will I survive? - I can deal with patients but I'm nervous about dealing with the doctors and the other nurses. I'm sensitive and take don't take criticism easily. I hear there are a lot of catty women. - I like the fact that I can travel anywhere and be a nurse. - I've always wanted to do something creative/artistic. But job security is very important to me.
