Just curious as to what everyone is taking. I am pretty much done with my prereqs-did all my science classes (except Chem) in one year with a 3.2 science GPA! I am trying to start nursing school in the spring (I still have to apply) and the only classes I need is Chem I and Ethics. So all the other classes are just ones I thought looked interesting.
Summer:
Chem I at a college in my hometown (not my usual school)
volunteering at the hospital
working (need to find a job)
maybe volunteering at a disabled children's center
finishing an online class I need for nursing school
planning my wedding (its in January, but I am doing everything this summer since I am not in town where the wedding will be held in the Fall)
Fall:
Ethics (required)
Issues in Parenting (a 400 level class)
Developmental Psychopathology (a.k.a. abnormal child psych) (a 500 level)
Aerobic Kickboxing (hi-ya!!!)
physiology lab (for now-I might drop it sense i don't need it for the school I am applying for in the Spring) (I took Anatomy and Phys. seperately-only Anatomy lab is required)
I am finishing up English 1301 right now. The semester ends on May 12th. I am then taking a fast track Dev Psych class that ends on July 9th. I am scheduled to have my baby on July 13th - I hope he waits. Hopefully, if I get a grant to go to school in the Fall then I will take Math 1401, if not I am taking the semester off.
This summer I am taking Microbiology and Pathophysiology. Finally in the Fall I will be starting my clinicals. I will be taking Health Assesment, Nursing Care Concepts, Nursing Care of Adult and Aging, and a Developmental Psych class.
Can you tell me where you are taking these? I am taking pre-rec. programs to apply to nursing but I cannot find a good microbiology.
I've had pre-reqs done for some time, since I had to wait so long. For the last year I've been taking classes either because they will transfer to a BSN later, or for interest. Here's what I'm doing:
Summer I:
Am Lit
World Religion
Summer II:
OFF
Fall: (drum roll please!!!!!)
Nursing Process I and Clinical
Nursing Process II and Clinical
Pharmacology
Math for Health Professionals
I never thought I'd be so anxious for a summer to be gone!
I'm envious of those you are taking the summer off. Enjoy it!
I am starting A&P I for my nursing program on Monday (summer session I), Tuesday night finnishing my final for Chem II, then going to lab for A& P I Wednesday night. I'm a little frightened of next week... I'll do A& P II for summer session II. I also need to take the CLEP for Intro Computers.
I start the nursing program P.T. in the fall as a second semester sophomore and will take Intro to Social Services, Micro, and Intro Nursing. I'm excited and a bit nervous.
My husband is always telling me I study too much now and that I need to relax a bit. Funny thing is that I only study about 2 hours a week. (I'm only taking Chem II this semester) He is saying that he doesn't know how I'll manage more classes. I know I can crank it up quite a bit, and I expect that I'll end up studying 4+ hours a day in addition to class time. I'ts just frustrating to hear this from him. Anyone else face this?

My husband is the same way. His degree is in computers and he rarely had to study because he works in the field and has always been very knowledgable. He's in a master's program now and still doesn't study as much as I do. He doesn't really understand it, but I tell him that if I was his nurse instead of his wife he'd be really happy I studied so much!
I'm taking Gen. Psych for 8 1/2 weeks at the community college- then July and August off, then I am starting classes where I will get my BSN:
Sociology online
Nutrition online
Pathophysiology
Spanish for Health Professionals
I work full time as a home health aide at a hospice. I recently switched from an office position that I worked in there for 2 years. I think this one of the best educations I could get.

Momto3nurse2be,
I just about fell out of my chair laughing! My husband is in IT. Maybe it's a techie thing!
I like the answer you give your husband. I'm going to use that one. I always hate it when I can't think of anything witty to say. Thanks for the ammo and the laugh!
