Taking Medsurg II & Microbiology

[MouseyMouse]

Hi all!I have to take Medsurg II and Microbiology this summer Just wondering if anyone has done this before?and if it's even doable and possibly pass both?I'm getting really worried because I know both of these classes require A LOT of studying...and the fact that it's gonna be really fast-paced. If given a chance, I wouldn't even take medsurg with microbio but I pretty much don't have a choice. My school will not allow me to advance to OB&Peds this fall if haven't taken microbio. I'm a transfer student and my previous college didn't require us to take microbio to get into the nursing prog. Now I have to really take it -.- Advisor told me if I don't want to take it together, I will have to take a semester break from the nursing prog just to take micro

So, is it possible to survive these classes w/o flanking the other class? Sorry If I sound like I'm complaining, I'm just really worried

What will you stand to lose if you do take that semester-long break?

I have overloaded myself on courses and have done fine. Is it doable? Yes. It is wise to do so? Most of the time, no.

A break may sound like the end of the world but it may just be a reasonable trade off to ensure your success and sanity.

A break may allow you to volunteer, network, relax, get a head start on future courses etc. too.

I agree, I'd just take Microbio. Summer classes are difficult enough - don't overload yourself. Take a breather. You'll be one class behind, which is nothing! :-)

Thanks Breezy and Cuddles!I think I will just take these classes separately and not overwhelm myself with workload Even if i have to take a semester off,I've come to realize that it's really a reasonable trade to keep my sanity lol...and make sure I pass these classes.
