I'm planning to take both Anatomy and Physiology 1 and a CNA course this summer. They start at the same time and will overlap for about a month (CNA course is 5 weeks/ evenings, A&P is 10 weeks/days.) I'm wondering if this is going to get a little crazy. I know A&P is going to be pretty intense, and I'm sure the CNA course will be the same. I won't be working until I'm done with the CNA course so at least I'll have more time to study, and I do well in science, but I'm just concerned it'll be alot of information in too little time. Has anyone done something like this? What was it like? Am I nuts for attempting it?

Will you actually miss class?

[beck_79]

No- I should rephrase. The courses start on the same date. Different times (one is during the day, one during the evening.) So I won't miss any classes.

As long as you can attend both I would go for it I don't think CNA classes are to bad just long, my sisters were like 5 hours every evening for a week. Just make sure you can stay ontop of your material and you will be fine. From experience don't miss lab!

You can do it! I know it's not summer but my course load right now is: CNA program, A&P II lecture & lab, Medical Terminology, Communications & Sociology--none of these online. I don't work but I have 2 kids & 2 dogs--so I hope that gives you some insight that YOU CAN DO IT!!

I took CNA classes a couple of years ago but had to stop cuz I moved unexpectedly. I'm starting back up soon and also taking A&P and another class during the summer. CNA class was very easy for me and definitely nothing to worry about! You can do it!

You can do it!! Just remember to stay on top of things and you should do fine. Good Luck!

I am taking API and APII. The second I run into trouble studying...job is going out the window. 2 1/2 hours of lecture and 3 hour lab...runs back to back each day. They give us a 1/2 hour break so we can run and grab lunch...good thing lunch comes before lab!
