Patho and Pharm together online?

I know it all depends on the student but I just wanted to hear what everyone thinks about taking both Patho and Pharm together in the same semester?

Here is my situation. I am finishing up Micro and A&P II this fall semester (almost done yeah!). I am pulling an A in both right now. And in A&P I , I made a B in lecutre and an A in lab. I am applying in March for the Fall 2009 ADN class. Our grades for next spring do count towards our consideration. Patho and Pharm are not required, but I wanted to take them anyway since I don't have anything else that I need to take.

So, should I take them both in the spring and then have the summer off before nursing school starts in August. Or should I take Patho in the spring and take Pharm in the summer? Both of the classes are only offered online at my school and there is no pre-req needed for Patho and the Pharm's pre-req is just A&P.

What do you think? I am thinking I will go for both and see what the syllabus looks like and on the first day if it looks like too much then I might drop Pharm. I was told to definitely take Patho first because it will help with Pharm.

I am taking them both now (not online), along w/2 other classes. Keep up with the reading and studyinhg and you should do fine.

My BSN program had us taking Patho and Pharm the first semester along with Fundamentals, Assessment, and another class I can't recall now. The Patho/Pharm combo was a nightmare for us. Half the Pahto was online/self taught and the Pharm was self taught because our instructor had other things to worry about then us. We were also the first class through a newly revamped program, so that was problamatic too. Those 2 in addition to the other classes was awful, I wouldn't repeat that semester for anything.

If you are good at keeping up and memorizing, and don't have much else on your table, then you should be ok. I needed my summers off otherwise I got burned out when the next real semester started.

If you can take Micro and A&P at the same time, you should be ok with Pharm and Patho at the same time.

If you do choose to take one at a time, do take the Patho first. Knowing what's wrong will help the meds to make more sense.

Good Luck,
