    RN to BSN Sep 2nd Start Date

    Stef M it’s actually pretty easy, not rigorous at all. Took me 7 months to complete and I was working full time with a kid. I am now looking into doing my masters because of how simple it was

    A&P 2 with microbiology

    if you finished a&p with a 67 i wouldn't take it with another class, especially micro. You will end up possibly getting low grades in both. Dont worry about a time line just try to make the good grade,

    First semester- feels like drowning

    Record your lectures if you can, play them in the car, on the bus, train and where ever else you go. Even when you go to sleep. That's he way I was able to make the info stick in the beginning
