Hi Everyone! I have a question about the best way to take Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2. I'm taking 1 this semester and I am doing well with the pace (its an 8 week course). I like the professor I'm taking it with although he's not teaching a & p 2 until the fall. If I take microbio, and a & p 2 in over the next two semester's then I'll satisfy the rest of my prerecs and be able to apply to the MSN nursing program at UVA by the end of this year. I'm thinking about taking Microbiology in the summer semester and waiting until the fall semester to take the second a & p class for the other 8 week session. A few reasons for this: 1) I'm paying out of state tuition and I will be able to pick up more hours (working as a PCT) in between the spring and summer semester, and again between the summer and fall semester if I take the other 8 week session a and p. 2) I'd be able to take a and p 2 with the prof I'm taking 1 with now who I like. 3) The PVCC only offers micro as a 16 week session in the fall. So that scenario I would only have a month off instead of 3 to work more. My only real concern is whether or not its a bad idea to space out a & p like that or if they're so different that its ok if there is a lapse of time between them and you forget some stuff. Any insight appreciated!
