I recently changed my major from health sciences to nursing and I am trying to apply to my schools nursing program on time, which means I have this fall semester to take 2 of the 3 Bios needed in order to apply. I was wondering between the three (Micro, Physiology, and Anatomy) which two I should take together that make the most sense! My school has anatomy and physiology as two separate semester courses and not combined. Thank you!!

When I was doing my prerequisites, I took AP2 and Microbiology at the same time along with several other classes. It is doable.

I took Anatomy first - then Physiology - then Microbiology.
I'd never heard of AP classes until I came on AN.
There is a lot of memorizing in anatomy so I'd take that alone.

I took micro and physio together, worst idea ever. I do think anat and micro is doable.

I would imagine you would want to take anatomy and physiology together. Anatomy is not that difficult at all, just don't procrastinate and memorize those parts.

Following this post since I'll be taking my first Bio class Spring 2017. My college splits them up into 3 semesters as well. 2 semesters for A&P and 1 for Micro...so yeah not a whole lot of options. But I would like to know what I should expect as far as difficulty level

I took A&P2 and Micro at the same time. It honestly wasn't that bad.

I would take anatomy and physiology together if I were you, because they complement one another.
