I'm in my first semester of college, finishing pre-reqs for the nursing program (A+P I/II and Chem). If all goes well and I am accepted, I will start Nursing classes next semester (fall 2009). Course selection begins at the end of the month. The sample cirriculum plan lists the courses as:
Human Development
Microbiology with lab
Intro to Nursing Fundamentals with lab and clinical 2x per week
Health Assessment
this leaves me with just enough room to take an additional gen ed requirement, or not. If I do, I get it out of the way sooner. If I don't, I just have to take it later.
With it being first semester in Nursing classes, plus clinicals, do you think it would be a good idea to take an additional class (it would be either History, Communications, or Literature) or would it be too stressful?
In the fall when I start the program, I'll be taking nursing 1 and clinicals and nursing pharm. I've taken everything else but micro and another math class. I wanted to get everything out of the way so I can just concentrate on nursing. I plan on taking micro when taking nursing 3 and the other math class when taking nursing 2. It just depends on what you can handle. Right now I'm taking A&P 2, sociology, life span, and this is my last week of CPR. It's tough but I manage. Good luck to you!
