I need help with scheduling!!

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

In about 5 months im starting my pre-reqs during a summer semester at Southwest Community College. (Memphis, TN) I would like to start the nursing program in the spring semster if I can finish all of my pre-reqs by the end of the fall semester. I need to take A&P I & A&P II, Microbiology, general psychology, and English 1010 I believe.

I've been told by a few of the nursing students that our school's nursing program refers heavily to my A&P I & II, as well as microbioligy grades.

So can anyone please help me out with scheduling theese? My plan was to do english, psych, and micro during the summrer, and focus the entire fall semester on A&P I & II but im not so aure this is the right course of actions.. help pleas!!

At my college you have to take A&P I and II before you can enroll in micro or you have to be dual enrolled in micro and A&P II. I took three semesters to finish all my prereqs. If you are disciplined enough to make yourself study, I would say take A&P I, English, and Psych in one semester and then A&P II and Micro in the next! Good Luck with whatever you decide!

Our community college has a class where you take a&p 1 during the first half of the semester then a&p 2 during the second half and you only pay for 1 class instead of two plus you get it done in half the time.

I took A&P 1 the first summer session for A&P 2 the second summer session. They were one month each and honestly it wasn't bad at all. At my school 1 is the prereq for 2 so I thought that was a great way to get them done quickly instead of 2 entire semesters. It worked out great.

I would try to do what kschafer suggests. A&P 1 the first summer session, A&P 2 the second summer session, and then micro, psych, and English in the fall.

If your school doesn't offer A&P 1 and 2 like that during the summer, I'd take A&P 1 and English or psych during the summer and then take A&P 2, micro, and whichever of the others you have left in the fall.

My school doesn't let us take A&P 2 and micro at the same time, but maybe your school does.

Hope it works out for you!!

I would not tackle A&P I, A&P II and Microbiology all in the same semester, as those are 3 very heavy science classes. English and psychology are both very easy classes. I would take A&P I and either english or psych in the summer, and then A&P II, Micro and either english or psych in the fall.

Yes these 3 sciences will take you 3 semesters to complete because they have to be taken in sequence. Good luck

Not necessarily. I think the best the OP could do is take A&P 1 in one semester than A&P 2 and micro together in the next semester. It would be hard, but not impossible.
