I don't have an answer but I am in Orange County and the Colleges I have looked at offer Anatomy and Physiology as separate courses. Orange Coast College, Golden West and Saddle back and Santa Ana all offer separate unless you are a non-science major. How is Micro?

Scared of taking these intense science classes! I finished the majority of my general ed right of of high school (1994) Now as a mature adult I have decided to finish school and become a nurse. I have tried to get into Anatomy the last two semesters and the class has filled up before I was permitted to register. I so hope I can get in for spring! Is it ok to start with anatomy? Did you all have to dissect a cat? Should I take Microbio at the same time or is that totally nuts? Any thoughts or suggestions on these classes?

I don't have much insight but I had to comment because of the similarities between you and I. I am a 36 mom of a 9 year old boy and 3 year old girl. I went to college some time ago and never finished. My focus at the time was liberal arts as well. I too dream of possibly being a midwife one day. Good luck on your endeavor! I plan being applying Spring of 2014 as well.

Let me try to make this short :) I went to community college 15 years ago and received a few W's and some substandard grades. Now as a mature adult I have returned to school and decided I want to be nurse (psych was my first choice) I received one semester of financial aid (did well in classes) and now am in my second semester back and they denied financial aid because I have attempted too many units and not received a degree. The financial aid person said that I need to transfer to a four school asap. I don't have my science prerequisites done AND I was planning on getting an associate degree because I want to start working asap. Is a BSN my only option now? HELP!? All of my prerequisites are met but the sciences. The two semesters I have been back the classes were closed by the time I registered.
