Patho and Micro

Hi. I am taking pre reqs for nursing just in case I do decide to go into nursing school. In the fall I scheduled myself to take micro biology: human pathogens and pathophysiology in the same semester. So my question is, is this a good idea to take both of these classes in one semester? How hard are these classes?

Hello!

It's a difficult question to answer because everyone is different. If you like science, you'll do great! If it represents a big challenge, maybe taking them separately is best.

Microbiology is the branch of biology which deals with the structure, function, uses, and modes of existence of microscopic organisms. This class usually comes with a lab component. Pathophysiology is the physiology of abnormal or diseased organisms or their parts; the functional changes associated with a disease or syndrome.

There is a lot of material to absorb, but it's not impossible. Particularly if these are the only 2 classes in the Fall semester. But if you're working full time, taking more classes, and/or have small children... it might get to be too much. Both classes are important. Make sure you have the support you need while in school, be disciplined, and you will succeed!
