OK, since enrollment for Summer 2012 is close to starting, I figured I'd get the ball rolling for those of us who are taking courses this summer.
What courses are you taking? Is this your first time taking the class? When will you apply for nursing school?
Good luck to you all and let's keep each other updated on our summer classes in this thread
I'll be taking A&P 1 and either Growth & Development in a 5-week summer session (second half); micro/AP2/nutrituion (+possibly chem 2) in the fall. I took psych last Fall and am taking bio & chem this semester. Right after my classes this semester end I'll start applying to programs. Best of luck to everybody!
I'm going to just focus on Micro this summer. I absolutely love all things science, but I have heard this is a harder course. Being that I am insane , I wanna keep my 4.0 science GPA and this seems the smartest way to go, plus I've already done all of my other prereqs and coreqs (finishing the last half of A&P II now).
Good luck everyone!!
I will be taking Chemistry this summer, Mon-Thurs from 930-1030, and then labs 2 days a week from 130-430. I will be applying to NS by next Feb, for Fall 2013...The only pre-req I will have left is Micro, but I need to re-take my anatomy's because it has been over 5 years and I certainly need a refresher. I had planned on taking 2 sciences this summer, and 2 the next semester...but, all of the classes were offered on the same days at the same time! UGH! So I am only going to be able to take 1. Good thing is that will give me more time with it to make an "A'', hopefully:) I feel like this is going to be the longest year of my life waiting to apply to Nursing school! I AM SOOO READY!!! Good luck to everyone!!
I'm taking it easy this summer. After 3 semesters of ridiculous hours (9 last summer, 15 in the fall and 16 this spring), I'm just taking 2 honors contracts this summer. It's a total of 2 credit hours!!!!! The cool thing is that the 2 professors have gotten together and decided to combine the classes so that I'm just doing one project. It's psychology and social problems. So, I need to come up with a psychosocial problem and write a 20 page paper on it. That's it for the whole summer. And, I already know what I'm writing it on.
Leif you don't have children or work it would be great!! I know for me I'm taking it this semester and it's lots and lots of memorization. Anything is possible if you believe in yourself. There are plenty of people on this website that have done it. Go for it!! It may be a more accelerated than a normal semester but it's doable!!

I'll be taking A&P I, its lab, and Intro to Chemistry. It's my first time taking A&P but I think I have a head start because of the Basic Body course I'm currently taking at the LPN program I will be leaving after this semester. I've taken a higher level Chemistry before. My advisor said I could use that to apply, but because I made a D then an A, she suggested I just take the Intro. Any courses not in the curriculum aren't considered, and besides that D in the upper level chemistry I have a very competitive application. I'll be applying this December and hopefully starting next fall.
