I took Chemistry and Micro in the same semester. It was a challenge; I studied ALL the time. I had those two lectures plus the two labs and they had midterms and finals just like a lecture class. I also took History, English 2030 (Literature) and womens studies that semester. I got b's in the sciences and c's in English and History and a B in WS. I would have done better if I hadn't taken such a load, but overall if you are just taking thee two science classes, I'd say you'd be ok.
I took A&P II, Chemistry, Government, and Philosophy in the same semester and still wasn't as busy as I am now in nursing classes! I took Micro and Speech together in a 7 week summer semester and did just fine. I think it is totally doable. Some of the concepts will be the same for both classes, so that will help.
Im doing that now. My micro teacher is awesome. Im taking A&P II lecture as an independent study class. Basically all that is is studying 300 questions on a study guide and taking a test on 100 of those questions every 6 weeks (midterm and final). My A&P II lab isnt too bad. It has a lot to do with your teacher and their style of teaching I think. And your ability to focus on what you have to do.
I took Adult 1 nursing and micro at the same time. It wasnt as hard as thought it would have been. I didn't have much time to study for micro but I seemed to manage. when I took A&P 2 it was a breeze. I thought it was way better than A&P 1. But I guess it all depends on who your teacher is and how much they expect out of you.

Has anyone ever taken A&P and Micro in the same semester? If so how difficult was it?
