Hello, I am currently a MA student who is getting the prerequisites and general education classes for nursing out of the way. Would it be too hard to take A&P and Chemistry at the same time? I plan to take them at the same time next semester and then my MA extern and A&P 2 this Spring with another MA class and Microbiology next Summer. Does this sound plausible? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's possible to take both classes, but there are many factors to really know if its doable for you. A&P is a class that's weighs a lot for admission criteria and you want to strive for ALL prerequisites with a 4.0 GPA. Would you have time to study to get an A for two heavy classes? ( not saying its heavy for you but statistically most people say science classes are challenging) only you will know what you can and can not handle wish you the best! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feb 29 by Savannah 6 Posts; 30 Profile Views Okay, thank you for replying and being honest! I'll probably not take those two together after giving it some thought, I failed anatomy and physiology once before so I will need to get the best grade possible to get accepted. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you failed Anat & Phys, then I would highly recommend you take Chemistry by itself. Don't even try to take any other class w/ it. In my opinion, Chemistry is a lot harder to grasp for most people than Anat & Phys. What I have noticed is Chemistry is where a lot of people tank and/or have to withdraw and take again. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mar 2 by Kristen Eileen 15 Posts; 138 Profile Views I am currently taking both AP1 and Chem. They both require a lot of studying but you can do it with good time management. It’s not easy but I’m glad that I am taking these two together rather than Micro and AP2 or Chem. You can do whatever you put your mind to. Good luck! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I usually recommend no more than 2 science classes per term since I do not want students to get overwhelmed. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
