Summer schedule question

I am currently enrolled in the RN-BSN program. I feel like I am so close now and just can't wait to be done with school for a LONG time :)

Anyway, after this spring semester I am currently in, I will be left with college algebra, nursing research, and care of the vulnerable population across the lifespan. I would love to finish these last three before capstone in 10 weeks this summer. I hear research is a beast...but I also heard vulnerable population is pretty bad too. Is it worse than the health assessment class? I do plan on taking college algebra through my local CC to have the option of taking it in person but I am still considering taking it online as well. I was going to take it with UTA but have decided against it. How would you double up on these classes if you had to (out of the 3)? I am leaning towards leaving research alone...any recommendations are welcome!

Thanks :)

    Research: grade is 70% group work (and yes, they expect AND monitor for everyone to participate so there's no "let's give it all to one person to do"). Even so, it's still very labor intensive. And of course, the joys of coordinating a random online group are always fun. If you have a 4.0, be prepared for the real possibility that you may be parting with it. A's are not impossible but very tough, especially if you're in a group whose others members are happy with just passing the class. I would not double up this class with anything.

    Vulnerable: LOTS of researching community statistics and LOTS of writing--I think I killed a tree with this class alone. Not so much hard as time-consuming. You will become an expert in your local community when you are done with it...I learned a lot about my small town. I would also consider doing this one alone, but if you insist, choose something light like Health Promotion or a non-nursing course (but NOT HIST 1311/1312).

    Don't do it!!! If you know algebra and are really good at it, then maybe. I'm not and I would suggest that you take it one class at a time and try to have a life. Just my feelings:) You will get done. There is a light at the end of the tunnel!
