I guess it would depend on how strong you are in math and science. Chemistry has a lot of math and all three have a lot of memorization required. I loved all three courses and did have all three the same semester but it was TOUGH!
I was also 33 y/o; married with 2 children; and going back to school after 15 years!
I think this is something you have to consider for yourself. I personally was not able to focus on more than one science at a time, but I also had classmates who had no problem taking 2 or 3 sciences at a time. It’s not impossible just really hard, and taking them with nursing classes only makes it tougher. You can always check with you community colleges and see if they offer a class between the fall and spring semester. I hope it works out, good luck.
For the summer, I took anatomy one and two; they both lasted 6 weeks, and I took chemistry wich was for the whole summer (13 weeks) and passed with "A"'s I also took other classes such as sociology, human growth and development and the labs my science classes. Overall, I ended up with a GPA of 3.60 it all depends on how much time you are willing to put in. Oh! Did i mention that I also worked full time while doing this.

Next semester is my last semester before I apply for nursing school and I have all three of these sciences to finish. I was a Social Work major before so I am behind on sciences. I think I can do it, but was wondering if anyone else has and how hard it was?
