A&P I and II in one semester?

[NIUnurs2be]

I was just hoping to get some input from other students who have taken either A&P I and II in one semester or have completed the sequence in general. For my spring term I am finishing my pre-reqs in hopes that I will be accepted for the nursing program in the Fall of 2011. I waitress about five nights a week and my course load for the upcoming spring semester is the following: A&P I and II, (which has two labs), Intro to Bacteriology (one lab, at our school this can course can be taken instead of Micro), Medical Terminology, and Individual and Social Patterns of Drug Use. Is it feasable to do well in these courses while working during all throughout the week or would it be wise to cut back to just weekends? I know everyone handles work loads differently; however, I was hoping to get some perspective, because I have a tendency to think I take on the world and then end up feeling like I have been hit by a semi by the the end of the term : ) Thank you in advance!!

at the college i am attending you have to take A&PI before you can take A&PII

At my previous college, A&P1 was a pre-req for A&P2 and you werent able to take both at once.

[NIUnurs2be]

In almost every other univeristy I know, you also have to take A&P I before A&P II but for whatever reason, the school I attend combines both courses into one full semester. I don't think that type of course would transfer anywhere else to a different college, but that's how things are done at the state school I am enrolled at, which is why I am concerned, because two semesters worth of material are crammed into one.

It is pretty odd to have a syllabus with I and II in the same semester, maybe they are a condensed version? Or maybe you take one the first 8 weeks and the other the second 8 weeks? But no matter what if it is the course syllabus, others have done it before and so can you:):)! Good luck!

What college are you going to? It seems a little strange to squeeze both into a semester long class... I'd be concerned about these classes transferring if you want to further your education down the road.. or decide to apply to different RN programs.

Are you going for RN or LVN?

Can someone help me find a public university in Florida which accept students for the spring semester in BSN programm(not RN to BSN).thanx.

[NIUnurs2be]

It is a BSN program to achieve your liscence as an RN. I go to Northern Illinois University. I think it is pretty strange also, I don't know of any other school in the state that combines the two courses, but the program itself has a decent reputation and has been producing nurses for a while, so I imagine it is legit.

At my school, you take AP1 for the first half of the semester then AP2 the second half. So its like taking it in the summer...

[JROregon, ASN, BSN, RN]

There are a few places around here that do the who sequence over the summer. You won't want to get behind but with the rest of the classes and work, I could see getting behind in the first week. Please tell me you don't have kids.
