Concerns About Courseload While Working Full-Time

Published

Hi everyone!

I'm a 28 year old man interested in applying for an Accelerated Second Degree BSN program, but I have some concerns about my prerequisites. I studied Social Studies Education for my first degree and so I need to take 9 pre-reqs just to get into the program. I work full-time and plan on taking 8 credits a semester at a community college for two years, but am uncertain if it's considered unwise to take two science classes at a time while working (such as Anatomy and Physiology with Microbiology or Organic Chemistry with Genetics, which are both likely scenarios).

Any thoughts you can give would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

If those are the only 2 classes you would take in a semester, then I would go for it. Just make sure you manage your time well.
