Scared of taking these intense science classes! I finished the majority of my general ed right of of high school (1994) Now as a mature adult I have decided to finish school and become a nurse. I have tried to get into Anatomy the last two semesters and the class has filled up before I was permitted to register.
I so hope I can get in for spring! Is it ok to start with anatomy? Did you all have to dissect a cat? Should I take Microbio at the same time or is that totally nuts?

Any thoughts or suggestions on these classes?
I took Anatomy first and then three years later (had to leave school for family reasons) I am taking Microbiology and Physiology. Although these are two hard classes, I study all the time and I still work and have a family to take care of. So it is possible, but not easy. If you aren't in a big hurry to get into nursing school, I would suggest, taking one class a semester. But taking Anatomy first is easier then taking if before Physiology. Just my opinion - hope it helps.
I took AP I as my first science going back to school after 15 years. I managed an A but it was a hard class. Lots of information. We only dissected a cow's eyeball and a sheep's brain but we did look at the human cadavers extensively. I am currently taking Microbiology and am finding that harder than AP was for me. Next semester, it's AP II and Organic Chem together.
If you can separate your sciences as much as you can, that is what I'd recommend.
