Micro was easy

I thought micro was relatively easy as well (and I even took it in a 6-week intensive! LOL) - but then that may have been because I thoroughly enjoyed both the class and the lab. :)

I dread courses like chemistry and literature much more than I ever would micro....

I found Micro easier than A&P, inthat there was less to memorize (at least in my course). I enjoyed them both, though.

Well, I guess I'm at the other end of the spectrum ... I HATED micro. I found it to be exponentially more difficult than A&P, but that's not why I hated it.

Good luck.

Micro is obviously a lot more work w/ microscopes and slides and growing little "yuckies" :) A&P is more intense, I feel, getting all those bones and muscles and body parts straight. People usually prefer one over the other, depending on your preference. They're both very interesting, though, I thought.

I have a masters in psych from pepperdine and hold a lpt license from ca. so am not new to the studying processes. would micro be considered average or above in difficulty compared with other nsg. courses. all feed back would be greatly appreciated.

I thought it was one of the most difficult classes I've had to take. I guess it depends on the school. I learned a lot and loved the class though.

I thought Micro was extemly hard but it might have just been my instuctor. We had to memorize pages and pages of crap that I only a year later have no recall of.

Micro. to me was easier than A&P. The lab part of micro. was a little tough. It all depends on the teacher you have too. My micro teacher was the teacher from hell he made the course not to interesting.

God Bless!

It isn't that hard. I thought A&P 1 and 2 were more work. And Nursing classes are a whole lotta harder than Micro. I miss my little petri dish of Bacillus subtilis (sniff)

I thought micro was easy. Maybe because it was so interesting...

I think it might depend on the class, at my school there are two types of Micro.

I have taken 'Clinical Micro' and it was soooo easy. But we also have another Micro class called 'Principles of Micro' and I have heard it is very hard. Clinical Micro has no pre-reqs, but the Principle of Micro has pre-reqs of : chemistry, cell biology and/or zoology.

Good luck, either way I think Micro is very interesting and to any health care worker, important.
