so i'm currently a part time freshman college student. i work full time as a cna at an assisted living. i was just wondering if i should take a&p and english 101 together and working full time? is it too much? should i drop a class? pls help.
Yes, that is fine. A lot of people work full time and take 4 classes, myself included. I would only advise against taking two sciences with labs in the same semester.Annie
Good advice. Don't take Microbiology with another lab class. I made that mistake. Also not a good idea to take these classes over a short summer term. Way too much material to absorb.

It depends on what you feel comfortable and confident with. Because A&P 1 and 2 are SO important and, to me at least, feel like 2 classes with lecture AND lab, I would only be able to focus on that class while working full time. BUT there are people that do it with no problem. But, if you're anything like me, where you can get easily overwhelmed when everything seems like a priority, then maybe you could reevaluate your schedule to make sure you have (depending on the kind of studier you are) 2-3 hours a day to set aside for studying properly. Because having to repeat a class because you got a B or C sucks and might make you feel defeated.
