Summer school anyone?

Published

Hey guys!!!!

well for all of us pre nursing students...anyone taking classes during the summer or doing anything exciting?

For me, I am taking philosophy: logic :confused:

and

Intro to psychology:yawn:

meh talk about a very BORING 6-week summer...

and the topper? I have class at 8 am! ARGH, not the way I wanted to start summer. And no, there is no other class being offered, so I need this logic class for the BSN program I am applying for this Oct!

After class gets out (around early August) I have like 3 weeks off until regular semester starts...blah, I will probably be working fulltime...

As for extra-curricular activities? Besides working the weekends, I will be either looking for a HC job or volunteering.

What about everyone else!?!?!?

I'm taking physiology and studying for the TEAs over the summer, wish me luck! :eek:

It won't be considered pre-nursing courses, but I do plan on taking a couple of courses over the summer: Microbiology and Human Development.

I'm doing Microcomputers, extended summer session, and Arts second summer session. I'm also going to study for the HESI. I am going to try and restrain myself from studying for the next four weeks until summer starts, so I don't wear myself completely out. Spring for me ends tomorrow. I have one exam to do and then I'm done.

I'm taking statistics online :eek: and lifespan psychology. In the four weeks before summer session starts, I will be studying for the TEAS and taking it two days before summer session. I am trying to get volunteer work, but I just found out that the nurses are on strike at the hospital I applied to! I'm not sure how this will affect volunteering there, I'm not even sure if I SHOULD volunteer there now!

Good luck to all of those taking summer school!

I may be able to take a Pharmacology course this summer... but that completely depends upon my registration date and... hopefully the course won't be full by then.

I'm taking AP II during June and Microbiology in July. Both are early a.m. classes but I don't mind. I'm also taking an online Statistics class during the entire summer and I'm a little more worried about that.

I'm studying for the TEAS V simultaneously. Never know, I might just get the test invite from my uni :D

I'm doing CHEM II and Art in the Fall and then I'll officially be done with my pre-reqs.

Hey I will be studying for the TEAS V as well. When are you taking it? I think I am going to take it right after summer classes are over.

I won't be invited to the TEAS until around Oct but there is a school down the freeway that offers it 6 days a week. Its on the computer and they give you the results instantly. I only have 2 times to take it, MAX, so if I do really well (my top choice only looks at english and reading but you need to obviously pass all sections) then I won't retake it.

Luckily my 2nd and 3rd choice schools only look at overall and math, so as long as I at least PASS the science section well, then I won't have a problem.

Maybe I should start another thread regarding whether we are taking the TEAS this summer as well? Lol....just wish the study guide and crap wasn't so expensive....

I am also taking o-chem/biochem hybrid this fall as well as college algebra, so fall should be a breeze!

you are lucky that your top choice only looks at English and Reading! Most of the schools here look at all 4 sections. The one school that doesnt looks at Math and Reading for you overall score and Science is used as a tie breaker.

although I didnt do so hot on the English part (was more worried for science..should of looked it over more)...it was my worst score a 66! I scored mid 80's everything else..it brought my overall score down to a 79.3 but that still put me at 11th percentile for the country and 10th for my program.

so glad I dont have to take the teas again...that thing stressed me out studying for it!

I was originally thinking about waiting for the invite first. But then I figured it would be best to take it right after my summer science classes, so the info is fresh in my head. So definitely in mid-August, right before the Spring semester starts. I've already started studying and I'm trying to study two topics a day.

Starting a new thread for TEAS V in the summer sounds like a good idea. It would help a lot of us TEAS-ers (heh).
