"Starting next week, I will be carrying two courses at a time, and I am told it can be done, says Shelley Cohen, RN, BSN, CEN. I have spoken to several other classmates who have management jobs, families, etc., and some of them are actually taking a bigger course load. I don't think I will ever go there. Just the thought makes my critical thinking skills kick in and ask, 'Are you nuts?!'

The three credit course I am in the midst of is related to public health nursing, and I know what you are thinking--the same thoughts I had as I poured over the course objectives. With a bottle of Phenergan at my side, I was ready for boredom and nausea. What I found was an inspiring faculty member whose pointed questions got me thinking about healthcare and how it is delivered to the patient, the family, and the community.

The course puts an emphasis on the effects of prevention on public health and assessing the health care needs of communities. Think of all the times staff approach you whining on and on about non-compliant patients."
