Is taking Chem & Physiology together a bad idea??
@Nurse Coach USA the difference on my application between getting an A and a B in Physio would be 5 points because it bumps be down to the lower GPA bracket for that weighted section. And having a CNA license is 3 points (no hours necessary just the license obtained) so that’s not too bad. I’m also retaking a higher English class(sadly got a C the first go round) so I’ll get at least 5 more points from that (hopefully 10) because an A=15pts, B=10pts, C=5pts. So with at least a B in my new English class, A’s in Anat, Physio, and Micro., the CNA license and at least a 76 on my TEAS I’m looking at like 74 points total which is a good competitive points total for my local program. Thank you for all the advice!!

@marquisdelafayette I’m taking anatomy and micro together this semester so I think I’ll make up my mind once I see how this semester goes! Haha I would be doing the 6-8 week CNA course over Summer while only taking my English 1C class and possibly my HHP activity class but I don’t think that will be too bad at all. I’m used to a heavy load of classes so I’m looking forward to Summer! Thanks for your advice!

@Kendrer I am very grateful I’m able to just focus on school right now! Anat., Phys, and Micro are weighted together so I’m gonna try to ace them all so I can 27 points, rather than 25, for being in the 4.0 GPA bracket for that section. CNA license will get me 3 extra points, I thought it was 5. But every point counts!

@Kendrer thank you for that advice! I’m actually lucky enough to be doing just school and no work or other commitments. It’s really just physiology I need an A in because it’s weight but Chem is not and I could slip by with a B. Anat., Micro, and Phys. are weighted together and Chem is just a yes/no if and when you took it. So that makes me think maybe I’ll be able to take them at the same time?

Is taking Chem & Physiology together a bad idea??
I’m in my last year of pre reqs. and need opinions. I have 3 choices. Those choices are to either 1. take a 8 week CNA course over Summer (which would get me 3 extra points on my application) and then take Chem. and Physiology in Fall OR 2. Not do the CNA course and take just Chem. over Summer and just physiology in the fall...what do you guys think? Is phys and Chem a heavy load for one semester? I’m really trying to get A’s in both. I’m currently taking Micro and Anat. this semester and it’s going okay so far. Any opinions welcome!
