Since I am not going into nursing school until next fall (2010), I decided to take all my pre-reqs and some co-reqs to eliminate some of the stress and pressure once I get into NS. So my Fall semester is looking like A&P w/ Lab I, Micro w/ Lab, and Nutrition. Does this seem like too much to handle? Will my brain explode from all the science courses?
I also have a full-time job and a 6 year old. Two of the classes are on Saturday and one on like a Wednesday night. So, should I just stick with 2 classes or go for the gold? Spring Semester is looking very similar with A&P w/ Lab II, General Psych, and Conversational Spanish.:typing

From experience I would say that you'll do great as long as you study (one semester I took API/APII/Chem/History/Government, made all As except for APII which was a B). However, I did not work. I do not think you'll have a hard time with the material as along as you keep up with it and try to get ahead any chance you get.
I know many people who have done this with a job. Good luck!
You should drop Micro. 3-4 hours a day is probably enough to cover A&P only.
:sofahider:I don't know. Maybe I should just switch out Nutrition, and focus on A&P and Micro? My job offers a lot of down time. I know I can get a good 3-4 hours of studying in a day, just here alone.
I don't come from a health background at all, but I was always really good at Science. Thanks for your advice guys.

Hi guiltysins, no I did not require a bio class at my college. I took it in high school 9 years ago and my ap 1,2 grades were both good grades. No chemistry either. Those I will have to take when I apply for grad school. I plan to become a crna when all is said and done. I have a lot of work ahead of me to get to where I want to go.
