Is it going to be hard to take microbiology along with:
nursing 110, 111, and 112-- (14 credits)?
I have 2 semesters left in my LPN program and unfortunately I was not unable to do microbiology before been accepted into the program:(
I'm scared that i won't be able to handle the workload because I have to do microbiology:(
I can either take it this semester or in my last semester (clinicals).
plz advice...thx

I agree, that is going to be hard. It depends on what kind of grades you need to have. Do you have to stay above 80?
It will just mean you have to buckle down for a while. Do you really have a choice? Why dont you just go and get it over with right away.
I had micro last fall. Its a time consuming class but a lot depends on the teacher too. I have talked to people who loved it and other people who had to drop it.

Take it now. Find a small study group to share the workload, such as typing up notes and study guides. If it becomes clear that Micro is just not working out, then you can always drop it and take it again. I agree that a lot depends on the teacher (mine was wonderful). The labs were really interesting, especially when I finally figured out how to focus the microscope (DUH).
