How would you break these up?

That's a lot of science classes. How many semesters do you have left to finish them? How proficient are you with science and math?

An understanding of acid base balance, electrolytes, osmosis, osmolarity and osmolality is necessary for being able to do well in A&P and Micro.

Take Chemistry first.

If you are wanting to finish in two semesters: College Algebra, A&P, Micro and then: Statistics, Chemistry.

Alternatively, College Algebra, A&P and then take Micro, Chem, and stats.

I personally wouldn't want two sciences or two maths simultaneously; that's just preference, though. Micro and stats are not difficult (in my experience).

I would take chemistry, algebra and statistics one semester then A&P and microbiology the next semester.

The order would depend on if Anatomy & Physiology are separate courses, like how you have them listed; and if they can be done simultaneously

Semester 1:

College Algebra

Anatomy

Micro

Semester 2:

Physiology

Statistics

Chemistry

I agree with taking chem, algebra, and stats together. Chem has good base content for A/P and micro. In my program, chem was required as a pre req to micro and A/P for that reason. And anatomy is good to be learned with physiology so you learn the part of the body and how it functions together.

As a pre-req? Wow. Chem isn't even required to graduate the nursing program and my school.

Well, if that's common, it explains a lot of what we see here.

In some states Chemistry is not required for the AS degree. I worked with a nurse from one of those states who did not know that K is the chemical symbol for potassium. It came up in conversation when I stopped her from giving a tall cup of orange juice to a pt in acute renal failure.

In absolutely no way and am I saying that you're making it up but she had to have been joking and forgot to say just kidding - or something. I've never had chemistry, am not required to have chemistry for nursing, and have a bachelor of science without having to take chemistry, and I could have told you this a month into intro. She must have misunderstood you. This value is so prominent throughout the program I am confident speaking on something I know nothing about when I say there is just no way.

The nurse I described probably graduated in the mid 1980's and I assure you there is a way, as she came from a minority inner city school public school and less than stellar community college in a state where Chemistry still is not required for the Associates degree in Nursing. Not everyone in this country has the privilege of quality education.

To the OP: sorry for going off topic in your thread. Good luck with your studies.
