Pre-Req Classes

two classes with labs?? Depends on how much you already know, how much time you devote to studying, how bad you want to get the classes done and how much you want to torture yourself.

I personally wouldn't take both A&P and Chem (which I assume both have lab components to them) together while working a full time job. Heck I doubt I'd attempt those two together without a full time job.

Just check your school, and see if A&P requires Chem as a pre-req for A&P. I know all the schools I was looking into required you to have taken (and passed with at least a C) Chem in order to take A&P.

BAD ideal, you need to get good grades in those classes, and you need to dedicate tuns of hours studying i think you should take them one at a time

Can it done? As others have said "Sure if you want it bad enough". I did it and I would have to say it was tough, and some of that chem knowledge would have helped with A&P.

I would say because GPA is so important in getting into so many of the nursing programs that you may want to consider taking these classes separately and concentrating on getting a good grade. Of course it CAN be done, but your grades may suffer. Just my 2 cents.

Good luck with whatever you decide!

I took A&P 1 & microbiology at the same time while working full time. I think you can totally do it, you just need make priorities- dont expect your social life to be the same & still get A's- just make time to study & you'll be fine..

It's can be done, but it will be tough! I took A&PII, Micro, & Chemistry together one summer! But I was not working @ the time! Came out w/A's & B's!

i did the same thing, micro + A&P + full time job & it was probably the hardest semester i've ever had, but i was glad to get them both out of the way. it can be done, it just takes A LOT of dedication & maybe a little bit of flexibility on your employer's part.

For most people, that would be a recipe for trouble. I regret taking A&P I and Micro together because I was streched so thin....not working at the time either.

You are right in thinking this out V E R Y carefully.
