What were/are your ADN classes?

After reading so much on here about ADN vs BSN programs it sparked my curiosity...

What did or does your ADN program offer for courses?

I graduated last May from a 2(+) ADN program and my courses included:

~ A&P I&II (pre-rec)

~ Micro (pre-rec)

~ Biology (recommended pre-rec but needed prior to Micro ;))

~ Nutrition (recommended pre-rec)

~ Pharmacology (recommended pre-rec)

~ Medical Terminology (recommended pre-rec but added to Med Surg if you didn't have it...)

~ Med Surg

~ Fundamentals of Nursing

~ Medication Administration

~ Mental Health Nursing

~ Nursing Care of the Adult

~ Maternal Child (OB/PEDS)

~ Leadership & Management

~ Community Nursing

~ Communication

~ Culture of Professional Nursing

No wonder my head was spinning! I didn't add the typical Associate Degree required courses such as: College Algebra, Sociology, Govn't, English etc... I am just curious about the actual Nursing program courses. I also didn't add the 'types' of clinical experiences covered either. But... we can do that too if ya'll want.
