Hey guys! I am wondering if I should take 18 hours in the fall to complete most of my gen ed classes? i have never done over 15, but i'm sure I can manage it! The classes aren't hard classes but I'm still not sure! Feel free to give any insite! Thanks so much!
I am taking......
Nutrition
Public speaking
Psychology - online
Music appreaciation - online
College Algebra
Human growth and development - online
Or I may just cancel music app. and stick to human growth! I'm taking classes that apply to both programs I am applying to!

I don't see anything there that would be drastic to take with a full load. As long as you keep up with the daily work you should be able to do it. And don't get sick!

I've done that before and I was fine, tired but fine. Those classes are pretty easy. Go for it.
Thanks guys I thought they were pretty easy classes! This semester I had 5 and I had kind of hard clasees... anp1, anp1 lab, anp2 lab, microbiology, and micro lab. So I guess those won't be too bad!

Sure, if you don't work full-time it should be fine!

If you were able to handle that, then this semester should be no problem for you! I would rather take 5 easy classes then 3 difficult ones!

The classes look fairly simple. if you already had a semester of hard classes together, and assuming you did well in those classes, the 18 hour schedule should be just fine! Good luck! People often advise on taking baby steps to get to your goal, but one huge step every now and then woudn't hurt!

The schedule looks much easier than your previous one and assuming you did great on your last schedule, you should be fine.
goodluck

yeah you should be fine, this semester I took AP I w/lab and AP II w/lab, Music, Dev Psych, Concepts of nursing and history! And I am managing all A's with the exception of a B in my psych class lol by the way I don't work so that is how I managed to do well this term :)
Thanks guys! I think I'm going to go ahead and do it! I already pre-registered! T think I should do well! This semester I maintain A's and B's! even though I work fulltime! LOL! I know this can be done Just have to keep up the hard work and determination!

Yeah, those would not be, for me, wicked classes. The only one would be algebra, but if you don't couple that with a science you're fine.
