Physiology and Microbiology same semester

So for our ADN Program at my community college the pre reqs follow like this

1. BIOL 31 - Human Anatomy
and
2. BIOL 32 - Human Physiology

3. BIOL 22 - Introduction to Microbiology
or
BIOL 23 - General Microbiology

4. FCS 6 - Nutrition

5. ENG1A - Written Communications
I've taken the nutrition already so this semester im taking the Anatomy and the english and chemistry, which is a pre reqs to physiology. And my plan is to take Microbiology and Physiology in the Fall, and apply for the nursing program in the spring of 09.

Does that sound like a good idea, to take those both together, or would it be possible to take physiology in the summer, and micro in the fall?

Thanks

I think it's do-able to take both of them in the fall, as long as you know in advance that you're going to have to put many, many hours in studying! Taking physiology in the summer might be OK, but most summer courses are intense and accelerated, so you have to think whether that would stress you out too much.

It's possible to do both Micro & Phys at the same time. I did Micro + A&P in the same quarter, and did Pharmacology + Pathophysiology + the last A&P course in another quarter. NOT fun, but doable.

I took A&P II, Micro and Chem this past semester. Not fun at all, I spent lot's of time studying but I managed an A in A&P II, an A in Micro and a B in Chem (the teacher was a waste and basically made us learn on our own). I figured it would be a semester like I would see in Nursing school.

Just make sure you have the time to devote to studying and you should be fine!

Definately doable, I also did A&P II and Micro(both with labs) in the same semester...managed a B in AP and an A in Micro. If you can split them up, then do so (it might be easier?), but I think you can do it. Just prepare to have no life though I kid.
