Microbiology-Spring 2008

Hanabna · Dec 31, 2007

Hello. I am taking Micro and Chem. I'll take Anatomy in the summer and Physiology in the Fall. AHH!! I wish I would have known I wanted to be a nurse a year ago and could have gotten these silly pre-reqs out of the way and on my way to a University. Oh well. Anyway! Good luck to everyone! I'm going to need all the help I can get...

Don't be nervous about this class if you already took API&II. You will do fine and find that alot of the material collaberates with your ap material. The material is interesting and I enjoyed the class alot (unfortunately I got a B though). Just wanted you to know that you do not need to worry.

I'm so sorry you have to repeat. That must be devastating. You say you can't "finish nursing." Are you already in a nursing program? I only ask because at our school micro is basically a pre req. I think it is possible to leave it until you start the program, but I'd never heard of it being done that way (because the "points" a good grade earns would help get you into the program in the first place). Does your situation leave you where you aren't able to continue with your nursing class and clinicals until you pass micro? That's horrible. I wish you all the best for your retake of the course--it should be a breeze second time around.

Yeah i am already in the program. Micro is a pre-req but it can be taken anytime until you can enter adv. med surg. which at my school is the final nursing class you can take. I was suppose to be going into my last semester Jan 10 but it looks like I will have to have micro then and then finish my last semester in Aug. I don't know that i would ever call micro a breeze..... lol...... but i'll work harder this time.

Thanks for the help. BTW, what school did you attend that offers online micro?

Hello Everyone!!

I will be taking micro in a few weeks and I am totally freaking out!! I am also taking chemistry. I am a SAHM and graduated college 7 years ago so I hope my brain can get back in school mode!! Good luck to us all. I know we can do it!!

hi - I'm a SAHM about to tackle Micro and Human Development this semester, which starts on Jan 14th. This is my third semester back in school after 10 years! (I have a degree in another field). It will be great to talk to others who are taking this class at the same time.

Good luck to all!

Really glad to see this thread--thanks for starting it!

I'm taking a 2 wk intersession Developmental PSY then my Micro class starts the end of January. I took A&P I and II in the fall (both accelerated 8 wk classes). A woman in my class was doing A&P AND MicroBIO--she was busy, but said that there was a lot of things taught in both classes, so they complemented each other nicely.

Good luck to us all!!

I am also taking Micro and the lab this semester. I am looking forward to it after checking out the book, but I am also nervous about it. It will be nice to have the support of others.

Hi Everyone,

I'm taking Micro & A&P II this semester. I took Chem & A&P I last semester. Hoping this semester is smooth.
