Micro before A&P?

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

The first semester is winding down and now it's early spring registration week. Since I am a current student, but haven't technically earned any credits yet, I get to register the very last day of early registration week:o

I had already made up my preferred class list before registration opened (that way you can register all classes at once vs searching for each one then registering). This, however, doesn't save you a spot in the class. I put A&P1 on. There is one evening A&P class that had 24 spots. I checked this morning and the class is full! I don't get to register until tuesday. Blah.

I will keep checking but if a spot doesn't open, I will have to fill the spot with another class. THere are several spots still left open in Microbiology but I'm hesitant to take it first because a friend who is a nurse said to take it after both A&P classes.

So those of you who have been through both, should I take it last or does it even really matter? Under micro, the only thing it says is it is strongly recommended student have recently taken high school chemistry and biology or completed the basic biological concepts class which I am finishing up right now.

If nothing else, I have a bunch of other classes I can take. I just wanted to get the major science ones started.

Specializes in OR Internship starting in Jan!!.

I was just talking to someone in my A&P II class the other day, and we were saying how we wished we had taken Micro before A&P because all the practice with the microscope would really help in A&P lab :D

If you can take the class, I suggest taking whatever is available. Best of luck!

Bahahahahahaha I did notice but I thought I was following you

LIke minds think alike.....or something like that ;)

Anyway it's ok....you keep doing all the thinking and writing for me and I just chime in and nodd my head up and down :lol2:

Isn't that the truth....micro really teaches you how to use that microscope.... I had micro last semester and it's helping me tremendously in my current A&P2 class.

So did you go ahead an take Micro this semester country girl? I'm curious because I'm thinking of doing the same thing (micro before A&P).

Let me know, and thanks!

I will be taking it next semester so I will let you know how it goes.
