Pre-Reqs + Full - Time Job

[Nurse_AA_2020, LVN]

Hi everyone,

New here. Great meeting you all! I have seen so many great things on here. I have a few questions.

I am starting pre-reqs this fall for the RN Programs and I also work as an LVN (~45 hours a week.)

I haven't been the BEST student in the past (failed classes and dropped out), but I managed to get out of LVN school back in 2017 with a 3.8 GPA ?

I have been taking one to two class at a time before this (Intro to Psych, Intro to Socio, Spanish) and received A's so I want to test the waters with three classes, but I'm afraid that my science GPA might suffer if I don't put adequate amount of time and effort into Anatomy.

Do you think it would be wise to take on Anatomy, English, and Political Science at the same time in the fall? (My college offers Anatomy and Physiology as separate courses.)

I want to know if Anatomy was as stressful as it seems, and if it is doable with my other classes plus work? Are English and Political Science hard classes, or should I drop one of them to stay sane during the semester?

Thank you so much for your time!!

I’m an LVN in the middle of my last pre req, thank goodness. In my experience it’s not the subject, it’s the professor. I aced anatomy because of the man teaching. I always research my options for professors. In general A&P and Microbiology are tough ones, I always took my science pre reqs one at a time with no other class. I aced all of them. Basically it depends on you and the professor.
