Happy new year to everyone
I just finished my key courses last fall and hopefully my 3.25 GPA will allow me to advance to clinicals in the spring.
Heres my dilemma: Will you recommend taking A&P II together with fundamentals of Nrsg, (1 cr) Nursing 101 (6 cr) and math and medical dosage (2cr)? I work fulltime and last semester's 4 key courses drove me nuts. My other option is to take the A&P II in the session 2 or the summer which is only for 6 weeks. Please advise....
thanks a lot and guys and have a wonderful and bountiful 2002!!

There was one student who took APII with fundamentals, she had 5 children, didn't work and her mother lived with her. She did fine in school but I know her kids suffered. I would wait to take it in the summer. I took most of the hardest ones in the summer and did terrific. Fundamentals requires all your attention.

I agree if possible I would wait and take it during the summer...

yes fundamentals requires much attention... but if your school is anything like mine, the summer classes will be 10 weeks - which of course means alotta a&p ii in 10 weeks!! i've taken all of the prerequisites prior to the fundamentals - i'm taking the "easiest" classes i can w/ fundamentals - which is mostly stuff i am taking towards a 4 or 6 year degree - i have no kids i don't have to work and i am financially very comfortable and happily married --- and my husband helps me w/ homework sometimes ---- i was still pretty stressed ! good luck -
