It ready depends on whether you're a string student and what else you have going on in your life. If you're only taking classes and you don't have family responsibilities, then you can double up on some tough classes and make good grades, but it'll still be hard. I think I'd do something like this:
1st
Intro to chem
Intro to stats
Gen. Psych.
2nd
General chem
Nutrition
A&P I
3rd
Intro. Organic chem.
A&P II
4th
Microbiology
Genetics
Summer 1
Lifespan
Pathophysiology
I don't see why this would take more than 2 years at 3 classes a semester. Otherwise I would definitely talk to an advisor and see what they have to say regarding work load, professors etc. How much is each class worth? The science classes are worth 4 credits for us, but for a friend of mine worth 3 credits then she takes a lab separate. Ours are combined.
I took A&P I, Stats, and Lifespan together along with English and a college development course. Those are our pre-reqs for nursing school.
I would also evaluate your strengths and likes and dislikes. I hate math so took that upfront to get it out of the way, and I'm taking my English classes early so I don't have to look at them ever again. I would divide up the chem classes and not overload myself with it because 3 chem classes in one semester would be hell for me.

Hello,
I plan on taking all of these classes as my pre-requisites for nursing school. Could you tell me if it's possible to finish them in two years or would they take longer? And what should I take freshman year? I plan on taking 3 classes a semester but I don't know how to take them together. Please help thanks.
