I will be taking NUR 110 fundamentals of nursing I & NUR 115intro to pharmacology. 8 hours total.:)
Summer (now!):
Mental Health Nursing - Lecture and Clinical

Pediatric Nursing - Lecture and Clinical (1st 8 weeks)
Maternal/Newborn Nursing - Lecture and Clinical (2nd 8 weeks)...
and I guess I'll have to finally suck it up and take that darn P.E. class I've been putting off for 2 years . My school is the only nursing program in this area that still requires P.E. Of course, I could push it one more semester, but I'd better not - hate to have that backfire and not graduate because I failed P.E.!

:chuckle That's me, this summer. For two years they had me thinking I fell under an age exemption. All my paper work said I do not have to take P.E. Then, I get a write up of what I have, what I need, from the records specialist, and, SURPRISE, they haven't done the age exemption in several YEARS. So I have been puting PE off as long as possible!
I'm taking some class called personal health. I figure it should be OK. It is about health maintenance/wellness throughout your life, which we have already been learning about for a year! When I first though of PE I was panic struck, picturing myself doing jumping jacks and playing basketball with a bunch of 18 year olds.
There's such a wide variety of classes that people are taking!
I'm going into my last year of my BScN in Sept. and it's going to be a tough one.
In the fall I'll be taking:
Advanced Communication for Nurses
Nursing Leadership
Community Health and Community Nursing I (with a clinical component)
Pediatrics (with a clinical component)
In the winter I'll be taking:
Social Justice Issues in Health Care
Mental Health (with a clinical component)
Community Health and Community Nursing II (with a clinical component)
Advanced Acute Care
And then my Senior Elective!! Woohoo!!
Science & Technology of Nursing Lecture, 4 hrs. wk.
Sci & Tech of Nursing Discussion, 1 hr. wk.
Application of Sci & Tech Nurs. (clinical at hospital) 1 day per wk
Application of Sci & Tech Nurs. Lab, 4 hrs. wk.
Application of Sci & Tech Nurs. Recitation, 4 hrs. wk.
It's kinda like you get the lecture, you discuss the topic, you practice the techniques, you perform for the profs, and then you use it in a real life setting, and all the math, concepts, and techniques are covered under the heading Science & Technology of Nursing. At least for the 1st semester of clinicals. My classes are 4 days a week, 4-7 hours a day, and we get a whole 7 credits for the fall semester!!!!!!! AAARRRGH! There goes my financial aid for the next year...thank God my advisor told me to take 17 credits a semester for the past 2 years to get everything except clinicals out of the way (sarcasm)...now I can't be considered full time. Oh, well, I may appreciate that in the next 2 years when I am stressed enough with the classes I will have....
I'll be taking A&P I, Chemistry, Intro to Nursing, & Health Promotion. I'm actually thinking about dropping the Health Promotion. I don't want to take on too much my 1st semester back to school. For those who already took these classes, what do you guys think? Should I keep the class or drop it?
Keep in mind that I'll be working about 30 hours a week.
