Should I Take Micro and AP 2 at the same time?

[tryingtobeanurse]

I work 40 hours a week and finally after several semesters I was able to get both AP 2 and Microbiology. Here is the problem. I work a third shift job. From 10pm -7am Sunday -Thursday. I will have to be in class from 1pm to 8:45pm on Tues. and Thurs. I just don't know if I can do it. When would I sleep? But I need to do it. I am afraid that if I wait on this micro it may be another year before I get it again. I know it would also be hard for me to get the AP 2 in the spring since that is when most people take it. Should I go for it or should I drop one? Please help!!!

Most digital recorders come with a USB cable that allows you to plug it into your computer...like you would a flash drive. If you have iTunes on your computer, you can open up your files to listen to them through that program. When I click on the files after I plug in the USB cable, it automatically opens up through ITunes. I then sync it to my iPod. Here is a link to the recorder I use: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Sony+-+Digital+Voice+Recorder+-+Silver/9218321.p?id=1218061082170&skuId=9218321

It can be done. I did for my last term. I took A&PII, Micro, and Nutrition. I work full time and have to children it was hard but it save me time.

Im glad somebody posted this. I want to take both together in the Spring, but have heard that it's impossible.

Its not impossible it is just hard.

It could be done, I did it. Actually, I took A&P I with the lab along with Micro and the lab during the same semester. I wish I would have broken those two up looking back, because I barely passed A&P with a 76 for lecture and a 78. Bright side, I got an A in Micro and the lab. I have kids too, a family, a husband... you can balance it if you put the fam on a schedule, like CT Pixie recommended. I couldn't have made it without it. But I also worked part time just a couple of days a week. Once I got into nursing school, I had to quit my job. I couldn't handle working even those couple days a week and trying to study, take care of the fam... it was just too much for me. So, the REAL question is... do YOU think you can handle it? I know it was said before... but the decision is all yours. Are those areas you are good in? Don't sacrifice the GPA to try to "get it out of the way." Know what I mean? :-)
