Advice on classes

I am going to college for nursing and really need some advice. I have 3 children, with one who is battling cancer. I have been unable to take A&P due to traveling to the hospital with him. I have taken all of my pre-reqs now besides A&P I and II and Chemistry. What seems more likely to pass together, A&P I with Chemistry or A&P II with Chemistry? Or I was also given the option of I can take A&P II with my clinicals. Please help provide me with a better solution. I know I should have taken A&P I earlier to avoid this situation, but this wasn't an option. Thank you for all the help!

I am sorry to hear about your situation and I hope it gets better.

I would suggest A+P1 and chemistry.

I took A+P2 and chemistry. There were times I wish I could apply what I was learning in one class to another. Unfortunately, what we learned in chemistry sometimes didn't coincide with what I learned in A+P1, and vice verse. The only time I was able to fully apply my knowledge was for the final. I suggest that you decide how you take your A+P2 by itself or with clinical. Since, you are the only one that best understands your personal situation.

Best of luck!

Wow! You have a full plate! I took A&P II (in class) and chemistry (online) in one semester. I ended up taking a total of 12 credits that semester, and with both those classes together (I was also pregnant and working 24 hours a week) it was a bit much. I don't exactly have a affinity with chemistry and although I usually do really well in online classes, chemistry was an exception!. I got a B in my A&P II class, and a C in my Chemistry class (I usually get A's and a few B+'s).

I would recommend (from my experience) A&P I and chemistry. It can all depend on the professor, but A&P II is more in-depth, and requires more studying (again, in my experience).

Thank you for the feedback. I would take chemistry online as i prefer online courses but they only offer it on campus. I think from what you both have said that I will take A&P I and Chemistry together. I guess based off how I do on A&P I will allow me to make my decision for A&P II with clinicals or alone.

Have you looked into taking a class from a different school online? I'm taking my microbiology class online during the summer through a different school because my school only offers it on campus, and I definitely did not want to take it with my nursing courses. (The credits have to transfer - you should talk to your advisor before signing up!) It cost me about $500 for the class (4 credits), book, and online lab program. I realize not everyone can pay out of pocket like that, but it's another option. Chemistry would probably be more expensive - in my school it's a 5 credit class.
