After carefully evaluating our financial situation and looking over the required courses I have to take for nursing, I’ve decided to take 2 classes this summer rather than the 1 I’d initially planned on. The good news is that I got credit for 4 classes I took when I got my bachelor’s degree, so there’s a few that I can avoid. The bad news is that financially I can’t afford to take more than 1 or 2 classes per semester. So I had to do a lot of shuffling and write up a new plan to make sure I got everything in before I applied for the actual nursing classes. With any luck, I’ll be able to start those in Fall 2011 and be an RN in Spring 2013.
Now I just have to hope that at least 2 of the classes I feel ready to take now are available online. It looks like most of the online sections are full, so 2 classes may not even be an option. I’d forgotten just how frustrating registering for classes can be!
