Need to take stats, micro, & psych elective...should I add chem on top?
-
0Sep 14, '13 by Mosie posieThe spring is my last semester of prerequisite, I am taking statistics, microbiology, and abnormal psych as my social science elective. I have not taken chemistry and think it would probably be a good idea, should I take it with these other three classes? Get the Hottest Nursing Topics Straight to Your Inbox!

Good luck! -
0Sep 14, '13 by queseraseraKnowing what I know now (having taken all those classes) I wouldn't have paired micro with another science (I took it w. A&P I). Just my opinion, I found it to be challenging, I had so many bacteria, viruses, diseases, treatments, drugs, cultures, identifications etc to learn, memorize and do that It was hard for me to balance.
I think I would've been fine had I not been taking 16 credits of math and science! But I really worked hard and still didn't get an A.
Take my experience with a grain of salt, everyones experience is different, but for me it didn't work out as well as I'd have liked it to! -

But personally I would not take more than two sciences with other classes together unless i did not have family or worked. - 0Sep 14, '13 by Mosie posieMy other option is auditing the chemistry class, as I don't need it to transfer. I just think it would be good to go over it.
