When do the pre classes END!!!!!

[txspadequeenRN]

is there anyone else as sick and tired as i am of these pre nursing classes. they seem to just never end. i have been working on these pre rn classes for 10 years and the list seems longer now than when i started. im finishing up my sciences in aug perhaps that will help. :uhoh21:

hang in there mother of 5. once you enter your nursing courses you'll wish you had those pre-nursing classes. get ready for lot's and lot's of work. i wish you the best! by the way are your 5 children still young? if they are, i commend you. it must be hard to be a parent and a student at the same time. i have no kids and i struggled. just focus on your dream. thing's will go smoothly. i hope.

good luck! :)

at my community college they only require about 6 or 7 pre requisites. anatomy and physiology is a killer though, but i'm gonna get through it. Good luck everyone!!!!!!

Y'all must be going for your BSNs. At my community college, you only need to take about 6-7 prereqs to get in to the nursing stuff. But then, you only get your ADN at the end.

Oh I wish. Our pre-req for ADN are

A&P I (but it has a bio prereq)

A&PII

Chem

Eng 101

Micro

Psych

Critical Reading

Intermediate Algebra

Medical Terminology

Health care core

CNA class or cert

then you have co-reqs during the program (I just need patho and then will only have nursing classes. Yippe :balloons: )

Eng 102

Patho

Humanities elective

Nutrition

If you are going BSN you don't have to take the last 3 of the pre-reqs but you add on

Eng 102

Stats

Patho

Healthcare ethics

Human development

Health Care Organizations

Culture and Health

Humanities or Social Behavioral Elective

Human Nutrition

Principles of Sound Reasoning

Two or four year degree my butt.

Who the heck cares about Humanities and art appreciation...ICK! I don't want to be well rounded!

LOL!!!!! I'm going for my ADN, then do the RN-BSN. I call it "stepping stones", that way I don't get total burn out before my long-term goal. Luckily, my school only requires 3 prereqs, and about 5 co-reqs. I have taken 4 of those 8 classes already, and am currently taking the 5th. By Jan 06, I hope to be in the RN progam, with all non-nursing courses out of the way.

Good luck to all of you! :)

Okay,

I CAN relate! I transferred here from the U of AZ as a pre-nursing, pre-health ed major (DH is in the military) and have had to go to school (@ UNLV; University NV, Las Vegas) an additional year just to get my pre-wrecks done! Little good it did me, I got a B- in Micro (3rd try for a B, last Spring) and am no longer eligible for the BSN program for a total of 3 yrs @ UNLV. My solution; I will be graduating w/my BS in Health Ed this May (YEAH!) (I WAS a double major) and will be applying for Nevada State's BSN accelerated program for those already w/a Bachelor degree this next fall. Pricey? Yes! Worth it? TOTALLY! I have wanted nothing more in my life since I went back to school 5 1/2 yrs ago. I am maxed out on credits and will graduate w/a 169 whopping credits. My student loans r already at $30,000+, so I will be searching for a scholarship from one of the local hospitals for NSC. I wouldn't trade the extra time & money that I have paid for anything! Everything that I have learned thus far has only served to make me a smarter, happier and self-fulfilled woman! I hate to say it, but I'm glad I needed the extra classes! (UNLV is a great school too!) And I figure what doesn't kill me can only serve to make me a better, more compassionate wife, mom, CNM and nurse! Good Luck everyone! I will achieve my dreams!

I won't be able to apply for clinicals until 2007 due to all my pre-req's

The answer to your question is right before you rstart nursing school, or somewhat before you give up. Good luck

[txspadequeenRN, BSN, RN]

you are telling me!

I have a BS (biology degree). Graduated over 10 years ago. I had over 140 college hours on my degree and had to go take 30 more hours for NURSING pre-reqs. HELLO - I have a BIOLOGY DEGREE (and a Chemistry minor)....... so I am with ya...

I took 14 hours at TCC in summer (AP1 + lab, AP2 + lab, Intro Psych, Sociology) and then took 17 hours in the Fall (Religion, Growth and Development, Music, Nutrition, and Spanish II). Now, I am done until TCU nursing school starts in May.... yipppppppppppppie..... I cannot wait for REAL school to start now that I have all those little pesky pre-reqs done.

Go FROGS!

I enjoyed the class. I liked learning about other religions - it helped explain "WHY" the followers do some of the things they do. I had a male teacher with the initials K.S. - he made the class interesting. His tests were not difficult - come to class and pay attention and you will do well. Don't want to mention names on the board (against the rules???), but I don't think too many professors teach World Religion at TCC (NE campus) - so just look up those initials when you register for classes.

Good luck in your studies!
