What is the most useless class you've had to take?

Published

Ok, just curious what classes that you have been required to take that just make you ask WHY? I am taking American Government right now and I am so bored. And if I get one more person ask me why I am taking this for nursing I am going to scream? My answer is I guess they want me to know how to be politically correct, lol. Ok, so what's your thoughts.

Specializes in PCU, Critical Care, Observation.

Botany.......my first semester in school & nothing else was available to take. Ughhhhhhhh.....awful class. I don't even like plants...lol.

Algebra - not required I later found out. Did nothing but make me suffer. My advisor thought it would help out with nursing math! Not!

i don't recall having a complete useless class. philosophy was boring but i did get a few things out of it.

my most off the beaten path class was a theater class i took as an elective. even though it didn't pertain to nursing, i believe it helped me learn to be a little more outgoing. so not a complete waste.

unless you consider the fact that i've always been an outgoing person anyway. :chuckle

Psych 101 was definately boring, I liked Abnormal Psych and Human Growth and Development Psych.

Christian Ethics (had to have a religion course at this college), the course wouldn't have been so bad if a different Prof was teaching it.

Sociology (another Ph.D) he was actually very tough and made the course tougher than it needed to be.

I enjoyed English Literature, it was a lot of fun, took it on a Saturday morning of all times, the instructor was great, made it worth getting up on a Saturday.

Chemistry. Have NO clue as to what in the H*** I was supposed to be learning. The prof was a MS in Chem, and was a paper mill chemical engineer, trying to teach a bunch of nursing students about atoms and other miscellania.......never did get it. Extra credit papers gave us all A's, when most of us actually FAILED all the tests.....Go figger.....:)

It's a toss up between speech and my personal favorite, Freshman Experience. Both were 8am classes, too. :o

Speech was the most humiliating, but freshman exp. was the most boring. :rolleyes:

Specializes in NICU.

I cannot remember the name of the class (it was 10 years ago)...OH YEAH...UGE 100. We got to learn about our library. We literaly had to search for books on the computer and then go and find them. That was a pretty easy A, but a waste of money.
