block 1 and microbiology

You really don't want to do that. There is still time to register for the Summer II semester offering for Micro through Rio Salado...it's fast & dirty...trust me, you will be glad you got it out of the way. Click on the link to see the open Micro courses for all MCCD schools...

Best of luck!

I agree with above poster. Don't do Micro during block 1. The class isn't horrible, but it is A LOT of work and memorization. It was the only class I took during the semester I took it and it consumed 90% of my time. Loved the class though.

Try and get it over with this summer, before block 1 starts.

I wish I could take microbiology right now but I am currently taking Bio 202 and English 102 summer sessions. I don't think I could handle microbiology right now. I heard that the first block on the nursing program was the easiest and I thought that maybe I could handle taking micro at the same time but I am not so sure anymore. I am good at memorizing and I have good grades in my science classes but I don't want to jeopardize my grades for the nursing program by taking micro at the same time. Maybe I should wait until the next summer just before I start block 3. What to do??

Kudos to you for taking 202 AND Eng at the same time. That is more than I could do...LOL! Yeah, I would just wait for next summer for micro. You could try to do it during block 1....although, if you are trying through RIO I really wouldn't. That would be a lot of work. I don't think you would ever be able to leave your house.... Decisions, decisions.... but aren't you glad you are having to make those decisions? You could still be sitting around on the waiting list...!

Good luck in whatever you decide.

Accelerate your current classes, or at least the A&P,(if the instructors will allow) & finish them off...then, take the summer micro.

do not take any co req's with any block if nursing. Save it for the summer if you can.

I think that depends how organized you are, how much time you have for studying and how well you retain information. I did micro and anatomy II during LPN school (blocks one and two). I found those first two blocks to be easy enough, but I was studying NON-STOP too.

Where there's a will there's a way, but it's hard work and you have to be very motivated and have the time for it.

I personally think you should just take Micro summer 2. I'm currently taking Eng 102 online with Micro in class, then taking Mat summer 2 and probably Chem 130. You can do it! Just buckle down and get it done. You will be so thankful. I also start the nursing program this Fall and thats the only reason I'm taking Chem 130 summer 2. I'm getting it all done, so all I have to focus on is nursing, and then next summer I'll take the pre-reqs for the RN-BSN at ASU. Just focus and remember it WILL be worth it in the end!
