Good Morning,

Newbie here, just gathering info. Would like your opinion. Is is better to take A & P on campus.

I already have Chem 1 and Bio from previous college.

I have credits, Pych, dev pych 1and 2, Soc, west civ, US hist, eng 1 and 2, speech, nutrition, intro healthcare,

pre-algebra. Would really prefer to do home-study option.

How did you complete your Micro and A& P requirements?

Thank you, Glad to be here.

Hi Linda!! Welcome to Allnurses, and the Distance Ed forum. :)

I did my A&P and Micro through EC -- they weren't bad. A&P is a big exam, just because it covers A&P I and A&P II. However, if you're going to go for any kind of advanced degree, you might want to consider taking the "real" class with labs -- some schools require that for RN-BSN or RN-MSN.

I'm wondering the same thing you are. I only have A&P and Micro to take for gen ed's so I think I will take those while i wait on the CPNE. A&P scares me!!

I took Micro and am now studying for A&P. If I had my 'druthers' I'd take in in a classroom. Since I am going through TCN (arghhhh) I have to use their curriculum. Micro was a struggle, hope A&P is a little easier.

I agree with others. Taking A&P and Micro through EC are fine if you want to just meet the requirement to graduate. They will not transfer to another college because it lacks the lab portion. I took Micro through EC to graduate and know that once I go further with my education, I may have to take it again. If you have time to take them at CC then I say go for it. But if its gonna hold you up for 4 months then I would just take it through EC and cross that bridge in the future if you decide to go higher. Micro was hard but some how I managed to pass with studying for 3 weeks. Good luck!

You know before I started studying for my CPNE I thought "how tough could it be" Now that I'm preparing I couldn't imagine trying to study for another class on top of this. So rethink about taking classes while you are waiting. I only had 4 months and I've been busy, and I work as most of you do probably. Melissa

Just a lil FYI for you! Drexel University does take EC Micro and A+P even though there is no lab credit. I believe you just have to take an extra sci like Pathophys or an equivalent. The Drexel Rn to Bsn is online and accredited. This is the school i hope to go to once im done with my EC ASN program.....

Good Luck!
