Which class do you wish you took by itself?

Hello All!
Im doing a general survey.
Which class or classes do you wish you took by itself in your MSN program and why?
Thank you for your responses.

My pharm professor recommended taking pharm by itself. I did take it alone, but I honestly thought patho was more of a challenge for me. I think both of them could have been done with an easier class concurrently, like an ethics or lifespan class.

I wish i took Pharm by itself and Research by itself. I took them together....big mistake. It was very stressful to study pharmacology while doing massive research for a research proposal in the same semester. But i passed with an A and B- in the end.

Health assessment. I wish this class was longer and 2-3 days a week. The more practice we have, the better we will be prepared for clinical. I often felt rushed in class since it was only one day a week, with only 3 hours for lecture and hands on. Also, I am doing the program full time, which is quite a task while working even part time.

Thank you for this!!

I was thinking of taking these two classes together, lol. But now Im thinking of taking Research with Theory or Role and Pharm with Patho or Nurse Education I.

I agree i had my health assessment class for 8 hours in one day and i felt the hands on stuff was so rushed and didn't feel prepared for the clinicals i have know..... i'm still looking up assessment techniques before i go see patients.
