If I want to apply to my university's nursing program in Spring 2012, I have to take these class in the fall to apply in time:

Basic Chemistry class (2 nights a week)

Microbiology (2 nights a week)

then online I have these classes:

a nursing class (a pre requisite where you learn the mathematical equations you use when nursing)

a womens studies class

and a core humanities class

I also work full time Mon-Fri during the day.

When I took A&P1, worked full time and had 2 other online classes I got an A- in A&P, and A's in the online classes. Last semester I took A&P2 and 2 online classes and got a B in A&P and A's in the other online classes. I'm not worried about the online classes, for some reason those come easy to me and usually easy A's.

SO I'm just worried about microbiology and chemistry... I have to do these classes all this fall if I want to apply in the spring!!! and I dont want to wait another year!! Do you think its possible if I'm motivated enough??? Has anyone else been in this situation???

I took chem and micro together last semester, along with philosophy and a workout class. I worked 24 hours a week, but when the spring semester started, I cut my hours down to 18. It's do-able, but TOUGH. Chemistry is extremely hard for me so I was more worried about that class than micro. I got an A in micro and a B in chem. I pretty much had no life and my only friend was my boyfriend. Lol.

I think your school schedule is fine but you may want to cut down on your hours at work. Micro is all memorization and it will be the most time consuming of all your classes so you won't have time for your other class if you continue to work all those hours. Also, you're going to burn out if you don't take it easy.

Good luck!
