Tired of Pre-req classes!

[Kdrenee]

Hello all,

I am sitting at work, doing some reading for my online speech class, and I just can't get motivated to finish the chapter. For 1; It is speech class, and its online. SPEECH as in COMMUNICATION. ONLINE? WHAT? I mean, it is convenient, but come on, I am not learning a thing.

AND then theres english 2. My favorite subject throughout my life has always been english. I'm just good at it, and everyone likes what they are good at. I am making an A, but barely because I am just TIRED of it. There is only SO much english I can learn. My college level english 2 class is comparable to a middle school class!

Last on the list is philosophy. I can actually say I am enjoying this class, but only because the readings are interesting. All of my classes are online this semester, and It is very convenient, but I am missing the social, and argumentative aspect of learning.

I am sort of glad that my classes have been easy because its been a break from the normal stress in my life, but easy classes also worry me. I do not want to be rusty for my nursing classes next semseter! I feel like I will do well because it will finally be something new and refreshing, and challenging, but what if I am wrong? What if my disinterest in my other classes, and my annoyed attitude hinder my performance in my classes that count the most? Is anyone else feeling this way? Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

I was thinking of taking a semseter off and starting the nursing program in the fall instead of summer? QAny opinions?

Thanks in advance!

I completely understand the burnout. I began doing prereqs from nursing school in 2006 as an undergrad. I planned to go to an ABSN program after graduation but life had other plans. I repeated my AP and chem because I had mediocre grades. After graduating in May 2012 ( after starting college in 2003) I was tired of school. I even told friends I am not going back. I just did not want to do school anymore. However, a year later I am applying to ABSN programs and I have an interview for my first choice on Monday. I you need to take a break go ahead. I needed to just to regroup after college. However, I am now ready to go back to school and get my BSN. Sometimes taking a bit of time for yourself is the best. I know come fall I am ready for school. I know if I had gone back to school after graduating it would have probably been to my detriment. Now I am ready to go get a 4.0 and begin the first leg of my journey to become an DNP-NNP.
