Microbiology & Pathophysiology at the same time in the summer.

Has anyone ever went through something like that? I have those 2 last pre-requisites left before I get into the nursing program here at Coppin State University in August. What do you guys think? Is it possible?

It depends on the professor you have for them. If they're an easy or great professor then I would definitely suggest it. If you don't know anything about them, don't do it. Or at least take it at a community college in Baltimore and transfer those credits to coppin.

It's possible. It's only 2 (3 if you count micro lab) classes, but you have to plan meticulously. If you have good study habits and decent professors, you can definitely do it.

Thank you, I've never taken a summer course so I was a little worried. I appreciate it guys. ?

Possible? Probably. Ideal? Probably not. I took micro over the summer, and it was pretty all-consuming! Will you be taking them at the same time, or one, then the other? Will you have time to complete homework and study for both classes if they're at the same time?

I took 3 general ed classes last summer, but only 2 were at the same time, and even then, I had ZERO time for anything but school stuff on those days.

Good day:

I've found https://allnurses.com/pre-nursing-student/how-get-any-846733.html to be extremely helpful.

Yes, you can probably take both courses if that's all you are taking and allot your time wisely.

Thank you.

Anything is possible! Both are challenging classes and you are taking them both during a shorter timeframe. You can do it! Prioritize your time and stay organized. Use study habits that work for you! What works for one person might not work for the next. I always recommend taking a learning style quiz. Results will share tips and ideas! http://www.vark-learn.com/english/page.asp?p=questionnaire

If you have an iPhone, use iTunes and Podcast. I have a long drive to class, so I usually listen to a lecture or something.

Absolutely. Honestly, those two courses together aren't even close to the load you will have in nursing school .

Trust me, I know. But that's not something I'm worried about, I'm pretty focused and determined.

Thank you. This really does help. ?

When it's two hard classes for Summer time it depends on the professor, the length of each course, and to evaluate yourself. Me for example I'm gonna take in a 5week length each Summer 1 - A&P 2 & Summer 2 - Micro. You see it's 2 courses but 1 at a time, I have taken 5 courses in the Summer of 2013 and believe me there is absolutely no time to slack off when your not doing homework or quizzes you should be studying for lecture or lab exams... If you don't dedicate yourself to the class 100% you might end up with a B or C, so be careful and remember NO SLACKING OFF!!! Good luck!! *^_^*
