I've asked my student advisor for the prerequisites list and for Professional Nursing I, it says that Fundamentals is a pre/co-requisite for Prof Nursing I. So, I was curious if both of those could be taken together...but it seems like there's not enough days in the week for both classes to coexist. From what I've asked of the people taking Fundamentals right now, they are taking lecture one day and labs three times per week. Then pharmacology is there from Monday through Thursday. I'm unsure about the days for Prof Nursing I, but I'm sure it's at least 4 days/week. For me, it sounds doable, if the classes coexist and the clinicals don't interfere with one and other. How long does clinicals last each day, though? Are you usually there for a few hours or an entire 12 hours? Or does it start with a few hours then increase with every quarter?

I'm curious as to how clinicals work. Do you go to a location and do required tasks, then still have to do assignments for nursing classes? Would those assignments be pertaining to the clinical sessions you had or completely different? Also, would it be possible to take two nursing classes in the same quarter? As in, Fundamentals of Professional Nursing & Professional Nursing I? Will those clinicals be at the same place, if you are allowed to do two classes, or does it just vary by school? Would it be possible to do two nursing classes while working the weekends? I hear a lot about people saying clinicals are difficult and not possible to do while working. I keep feeling discouraged and hesitant when I hear that. Sorry, if it is a lot of questions. I'm not sure how clinicals work and when they begin throughout the quarter. Thanks in advance!

I'm determined to follow through with this. So, I've written my appeal letter and I am awaiting a response. The dean said that they will let me know what is going on by Monday, but that does not necessarily mean it will be a successful appeal, as she put it. I've looked at the option for doing A&P II at another school as a transient student, then transfer my credits to this school, if the appeal is not successful. I truly hope it is successful. Because the A&P II class at the other school is a semester long, while the school I go to is a bit accelerated because classes are 11 weeks long, it will put me behind by two quarters. In my appeal letter, I conveyed what I would need to fix and what I have already done. I am in works with the Learning Center Coordinator to speak to them about my strengths and weaknesses, and what I need to do about time management. Thanks for your help.

I've left one job, now. Just so I can focus on school. I know I can do it, but I feel like I'm out of options right now to stay in the program. I'm not in any type of counseling, but I have been talking to family & friends about it, instead of bottling it up for the past few months.

I have not officially been kicked out of the nursing program, yet, but I might be. I've failed multiple classes and have taken them over again, because of this I have not completed enough credits to be in good academic standing with the school. My GPA is over a 2.00, but since I am not at the pace they need me to be, I can't take A&P II another time until I am out of my "Financial Aid Warning" and all of the classes after that has A&P II as a pre/co-requisite. I don't know what to do. I'm going to try to see if I can take A&P II at another community college, tomorrow, then just transfer my credit to the place I currently go to. I am also trying to see if I can appeal my warning and be allowed to take the class this or next quarter. It's a two year program and I'm so behind. I've been having panic attacks since yesterday when they removed me from A&P II, which they already had me in because the quarter started 4 days ago. I'm being a burden on my parents and it's not something I want to do, so I've been paying for school myself since I started a year ago with two jobs. I've left one now, so I can focus on school I really want to stay in the program, but I had personal situations come up with an uncle and friend passing away within a few months from each other. It was something I've never experienced before. Please, help. Any advice?
