Hello All,

I currently hold a Bachelor's Degree and I was obtaining a second Bachelor's Degree in Nursing. Unfortunately, I failed two courses and I'm no longer in the program. I am wanting to start an ADN program Fall 2010, but it has been longer than 5 years since I have taken my A/P I, II classes and I have never taken Microbiology so my question to you all is do you think that it would be possible to take all three classes together in the spring??? I'm trying to get a head start far as studying so that I can be prepared.

Has anyone ever did this before???

If so, how was it??? and were you able to work???

I am taking A&P 1 right now and it is by far one of the most time consuming classes I have ever taken. My school has a policy that they must be taken in order, in special cases they allow you to take A&P 2 and micro together, but I can't imagine all 3 and working, Idk?? I guess it depends on how hard you want to work, but I would never be able to handle it.

I took a&p1 in the fall then took a&p2 with micro in the spring. Just taking those two classes at once was tough. If you decide to take all three at once you run the risk of 1) failing or 2) making less than an A in one or more of the courses and as I'm sure your aware of NS is hard to get into with B's much less C's. You run the risk of having to retake them for better grade. Think about it and weigh all you what ifs. Ultimately YOU and only YOU know what you can mentally handle...good luck with your Nursing career.
