14 credit hours?

Is it suicide to take Anatomy & Physiology (lecture and lab), Biology (lecture and lab), Psych, and Genetics in one semester if I'm working in my spare time?

No way. I took micro, physio, and genetics at once and worked 40 hours a week.

I'm surprised that Biology isn't a prereq to A & P. You could not take it concurrently at my school.

No, I take at least 15 per semester because I have to in order to keep my scholarship. I work on the weekends as a CNA. I think you could do it, too.

Psych is pretty easy, and so is biology. The concepts are not hard, but it's a matter of applying them. I agree it's a little odd that you can take A&P before finishing biology. Regardless, best of luck. I'm sure you can do it. :D

You can do it, sure. But, just understand that it takes commitment. If you're a serious student, then no problem.

Yep - you can do it! I took Chem (w/lab), Microbiology (w/lab), A&P I (W/lab) and psych all in one semester while working FT from home with my 3 year old and 1 year old. It isn't going to be easy, for sure. I made myself a count down calendar and kept telling myself I could get through anything for a semester.

Good luck!
