Do I take Anatomy & Microbio together or Physiology & Microbio together

kadc · Jul 20, 2011

Hello!

I just finished taking all my science prereqs for nursing. I took Anatomy and Chemistry last fall, and micro and physio for spring semester. For me, physiology was a lot harder because it requires more critical thinking and analyzing, while anatomy is mostly just memorizing. You should focus more on physiology because it's more than just memorizing. However, when I took physiology and microbiology together last spring, many of the lectures were similar. Some of the things you'll learn in micro, you will also learn in physio and vice versa. In a way it is helpful because some would be review. I suggest you take Micro and Anatomy so that by the time you get to physio, you would be familiar with a lot of the stuff you learned in micro and anatomy and use them all for physiology. Hope that helped! :)

Holy crap I'd give an arm to have anatomy and physiology as two separate classes.

I'll be taking Physio and Micro together in Spring as it makes the most sense for me. I have to take Anatomy before Physiology and Chem before Micro and I only have two semesters left.

I took (in order by semesters):

Anatomy & Physiology I + lab

Microbiology + lab

Anatomy & Physiology II + lab

Personally I'd take physio and micro...at least that's what I did and I don't regret it. Anatomy is just too much memorizing for me to take any other science along with it. So i guess if youre good at just straight up memorizing, you should probably take anatomy and micro together. If you're better at learning processes and why things happen, you should take physio with micro.
