I posted this question several weeks ago, and thought I'd try again. At my school, we take anatomy and physiology separately. I am headed towards my spring semester on Monday and I'm slated to take both chem and anatomy. Both courses have lab and lecture. Along with those 2 classes, I am taking sign language, and I don't expect sign to be too tough.
I am a full-time student, married, with 2 kiddies in middle school. I am very dedicated, and have a great deal of support from my husband and extended family. I am truly a tad stressed about what to do here, and fear I may be too overwhelmed.
My plan is to attend both classes next week in order to feel things out. If I drop a course, it would be chem. Separating these courses out will slow my plan by a semester, which means I will not finish this fall.
I am receiving mixed messages outside of allnurses. I know the words *hard* or *doable* are subjective in nature, but thought I'd throw them out there anyway.
If you've take the two courses above, I'd like to hear from you.
Very doable. I remember taking A&P II with chemistry part I together while working full time. A&P was the one I had to concentrate for and study for. Chemistry wasn't bad, it was fun, I would read a chapter the day before the quizzes. I would suggest for the future, you pick classes after checking them out on ratemyprofessor.com, I went to that site and got the professors with the highest ratings and obviously, I learned a lot, but they didn't make the classes be unpassable.
Also, I would suggest dropping the sign language class. Why are you taking that? for fun? just take it later. If you are on the bachelor program they probably will put you for two years on the waiting list, you can take it then.

Thank you!
You're talking about two science classes... Really, what's the big deal?
Lots of prenursing students take a couple of science classes together.
And lots and lots and lots of science and engineering majors take multiple science classes along with math and humanities.
Last semester I took chemistry and physiology together. Chemistry was a cake walk compared to my physiology class and majority of the time I barely studied for chemistry because it was on the back burner. In the end I made a regular A in chem and a regular B in Physiology (my school does the - and + as well).
I am married as well and have twin boys who are two and a half. It is completely doable with those two classes. I made it work some how and you can too :) The only person that can make you believe that you can or cant do it, is yourself.
