Taking Anatomy and Physiology Classes at the Same Time

Are you sure you A&P is a pre-requisite for Microbiology at your school? At mine, the only pre-req for Micro was Gen Bio 1.

To your question, it depends on what else you have going on and how easily you memorize things. I could easily have handled A&P 1 and 2 simultaneously, but 1 was a pre-req for 2 at my school. But I did take A&P 1, Microbio, and Psychology all at the same time, while working full time. I don't have kids, though.

Good luck to you, whichever decision you make!

Ah you are correct . A&P aren't prereqs. Don't know why I thought it was. í ¾í´”. My schedule is pretty packed but I figured nursing school wouldn't be any easier so I might as well prepare myself for it

A&P can be extremely difficult to take at the same time, I took them separate just to ensure I got an A in both classes, I am the same age as you and with 2 little ones. I really had to discipline myself so that I was able to focus on the subject and memorize the material, But if you're discipline and have good study habits, you can do it! I know the feeling of trying to finish everything so you can get into a program by a certain time, but be careful not to put too much on your plate and risk getting a low grade in the class then your desired program doesn't take repeats in your science classes. Good luck in which ever decision you make, you can do this!
