Think my schedule is feasible?

Published

Here's my Fall schedule:

Math 107- Stats

Math 108- Math for Natural Sciences

Biology 120- Basic Microbio

Biology 110- Human Bio I

Spanish 102- Spanish II

I don't think it'll be too bad. I have heard the math classes are fairly easy as well as the Spanish.

What are your schedules looking like?

I think it looks reasonable depending on how much time you have to devote to studies. I do wonder if it would be better to take human bio first and take micro in the spring. I think micro will build off of what you learn in human bio.

i would do that, except I am in a bind because I need to complete at least 7 of the 11 prereqs by the end of the fall so I can apply to the RN program for the next Fall. If I don't I'll have to wait another year, which will also mean finding a minor. Microbio is the other prereq I think I could handle with this schedule.

Absolutely! Anything's possible if you put your mind to it. Keep a positive attitude and stay on top of your studies and you should be fine. ;)

I just took Statistics over the summer.

It's a relatively easy course, but just very time consuming. For some of the sections, it some times takes half to a full page to get an answer! Like said, it's fairly easy, but very time consuming!

I passed with a B. I could have done better, but I was very limited with study time. :(

If you don't work and realize there is a lot of study time needed for a full schedule, you can do it! My fall looks like

Comp II

Govt II

Psych

College Algebra

Nutrition

Stats (much more interesting if taken through the Psych dept, I've heard, and equally accepted at my schools)

Psych is a repeat. I took it years ago (my first semester of college the first time around!) and it is my only "c"...so I am repeating...

Specializes in Geriatrics, Alzheimers, Special Needs.

If you devote your time to your studies, it should be fine, but it's really all up to what you're comfortable with. My fall classes are A&P I, Chemistry, English Comp, and Nutrition. If you study hard, you can do it!

With that many courses and two of them sciences, you need to place yourself on a strict schedule. Getting behind at all could be deadly. Math's and sciences generally have more tests than the social sciences, so you'll need to be prepared for that as well. As long as your not working and can live with a minimal social life you can probably swing it. :D

Josh,

I had A&P 2, Microbiology, and Spanish IV ontop of 12 more credit hours during my last semester of undergrad. Feasible, yes. Fun, no. :uhoh21:

How many credits is that, 21? that's overkill.

Yeah it was 23 credits - no lo recomiendo, lol

When I was an undergraduate in college my last semester consisted of two graduate level courses, one of which was an honors' course, two other honors' courses and a math course on top of it. That was stressful but I made As in all of them.

So, your courses are definitely doable. In the fall I will be taking two math courses and A&P I (taking pre-reqs for my local university's Alternate Entry accelerated MSN program) while working 45 hours a week and tending to a mischievious toddler. All with an UNsupportive husband who does not consider schoolwork important --so I won't be getting any help from him when it comes to running the household.

Don't sweat your situation, just keep on top of it and you'll be fine.
