Any one taking summer classes? If so, which ones? How do you plan to ace them? I would love to hear what classes those who are already into their program are taking. I have to take intro to philosophy & one chemistry class for my BSN program in the fall. Definitely boring classes but I plan on studying/getting work done during the week so I can have weekends free. 0 Likes

Skips, MSN, RN Specializes in L&D. Apr 12, 2013 Yes, I am taking summer courses. I am taking 13 credit hours total. I'm taking: mental health theory & clinical, statistics, and population health 3. I am a little nervous. I've never taken summer classes before, so we'll see how heavy the workload is with a shortened semester! 0 Likes

RubberDuckieLove Specializes in Neuro Intensive Care. Has 1 years experience. Apr 12, 2013 My program requires a summer semester. It's Adult Health 1. I had all my pre reqs done before I applied, so I could concentrate only on nursing courses. I hear its intense. About four months worth of material and clinicals in 8 weeks. 0 Likes
ER(notso)n00b, ASN, RN Specializes in ER. Has 2 years experience. Apr 12, 2013 I'm taking a humanity this summer, but I took micro over the summer and got an A. It's doable and I think it was actually kind of nice because I got into the "mode" and it was over quick, instead of dragging it out across a full semester. 0 Likes

melc0305 Apr 15, 2013 I'm taking Pathophysiology, Cultural Diversity, and Ethics. They are all considered "pre-term" for my ABSN program. CD and Ethics are online, so I'm hoping they won't be too bad. Patho kind of scares me. 0 Likes
