What kind of classes will be helpful for Nursing classes?

[halfglassfull]

I will be starting clinical in Fall of 2014.

Meanwhile, I get to take a few psychology classes for minor.

I have some choices and would like some opinions.

"Examines the effects of psychoactive drugs on neuro-chemical, mental, and behavioral processes. Major depressant, stimulant, narcotic, and hallucinogenic drugs will be studied, as will drugs used to treat mental disorders such as anxiety, depression, phobias, and schizophrenia"

- This is Psychopharmacy class. This seems like really helpful for Pharmacology class-wise.

And I have other choices

[COLOR=#003a70]Family Dynamics

"A systems approach to marriage and family relationships focusing on psychological processes and communication systems which promote or restrict intimacy and health."

Small Group Interaction

"Analysis of small group dynamics: structure, process, roles, alliances, shared assumptions, group communication, and leadership. Lectures, demonstrations, and practical group experience."

Neuropsychology & Personality Testing

"An introduction to the principles of psychological test construction: norms, reliability, validity, ethical issues in psychological testing, personality and clinical measures. "

and Temperament & Child Behavior - It does not have a course description.

I need three classes out of five choices including Phamacology.

I am thinking Pharmacology, Neuropsychology & Personality Testing, and Temperament & Child Behavior seems like good choices.

What are your thoughts?

Thank you in advance!

Ooh, psychopharmacy, yes.

The family dynammics one would be my second choice out of those. You deal with a lot of family dynamics, and some additional familiarity would be helpful.

Hmm.. What do you mean by "additional familiarity"? Maybe Child Development?
