Seriously, freaking out!! I need advice ASAP!

[FRM2013]

I applied to the PN nursing program at CACC but I thought I wasn't accept so I decided I would take my basics first. I was able to take Bio 201 before my school called me to let me know I was actually accepted. My problem is I now have to take all the rest of my basics with nursing classes. My second semester I have to take Bio 202, ENG 101, NUR 105, and NUR 106. I am very worried about taking these four classes together because I know how much studying I had to do for Bio 201 and I know ENG 101 will be a lot of essays. This is my course set up:

FIRST TERM:

-Math 116

-NUR 102

-NUR 103

-NUR 104

SECOND TERM;

-BIO 202

-ENG 101

-NUR 105

-NUR 106

THIRD TERM:

-NUR 107

-NUR 108

-NUR 109

I was thinking maybe I could take ENG 101 my first term instead of my second. I feel like the first couple of nursing classes will be the easiest and I believe it would be better to take 5 kind of hard classes than to take 4 classes together that require a lot of studying and writing. I don't know though so any opinions would be great!!

I think going in to the school's academic advising office would be your best bet, because I'll bet that 99.9% of these readers have no idea whatsoever what CACC is (I sure don't), and even if they did, they don't know as much about the coursework and historical student experiences as the academic advisors.

Your schedule looks doable to me. Having already taken all the 'basics' before entering nursing school, I had a schedule with the same amount of classes (all nursing classes) for the last three semesters. There will be a lot of work involved, no doubt, but these classes are not going to be any tougher than most other nursing programs are. You'll be fine, just manage your time well. :)
