"Quickest" classes to complete?

I think most of the really long classes are toward the end of your program. I don't remember ever spending this much time on the previous semesters of work. I am working nights now, which makes all the difference. My days off are spent sleeping...its pretty hard to get up at 5pm and start doing some homework. I'm more of a day person, though.

My longest course was C228 (community health). It took me about four weeks to complete. My shortest course was Care of the Older Adult (DPV1), which took me about a week and a half to work through. Your mileage may vary.

Most of the classes don't take long if you are focused and don't waste time. TheCommuter's previous posts on each class she went through really helped me cut down my time a lot.

I also left facebook and decided to face my books instead. :yes:

The quickest classes are the ones that you know, and that play on your strengths.

For me, quickest to longest:

Information Management and the Application of Technology (could have literally completed it within two hours, but it took a few days because I had to schedule the test at a testing center)

Portfolio (Completed in about 4 hours)

Leadership Experience

Nutrition, Care of the Older Adult, and Statistics (these all took about the same time. Not very long - I'm a good test-taker and had decent background in all three.)

Biochemistry

Community Health and Population-focused nursing and Health Assessment

Professional Roles and Values

Community Health practicum

Organizational Systems and Quality Leadership

Evidence Based Practice

But that's just me. I'm a great test-taker, but I overthink things and am incredibly slow at writing papers. Other people knock out the papers like mad, but struggle elsewhere.
