Well I finished my summer quarter off passing all classes with an 3.35 :yeah:!! Starting the fall quarter on the 29th thank God core classes almost done...So I had a conversation with myself (not crazy) :argue: I couldn't figure out if I should hold off from all classes or should I take all three (all three meaning A&P, Med. Term, and Psy) I never was good in Science. So I'm kind of at a road block here:banghead:. My husband is as smart as they come so I have help there, but it's just freaking me out :sniff:. But, I'm going to try and keep a good attitude about it because becoming a nurse is my top priority. So could someone give me some help/advice about this please!!
Thanx In Advance

I think it depends on how much study time you have and how dedicated you are as a student...A&P is a TON of memory work - all the bones, muscles, etc....which you can start reviewing now...I don't know how in depth medical terminology is, but again, lots of memory work...and psychology was very easy for me...these prerequisites require a different study mode than what you will change to for actual nursing courses...no actual "critical" thinking required...if you are iffy about taking all three together, take the psychology and medical terminology together...the medical terminology should be useful with the other courses you will take once you get deeper into the nursing curiculum.
