Too much?

If you are smart, and a high achiever, it should be doable. Sounds similar to the schedule I had.

nah.

i did 16 credits the past 2 semsters, and it was a bit hectic but i did very well.

just stay on top of everything, cuz its very easy to fall behind.

Looks like quite a load, but "doable." You'll need to stay on top of things, and NOT fall behind in any classes.

Good luck!

definately doable, although spring 2009 may be hard....depends on how intense your a&p classes are.

It looks okay, except if possible I would split up the chem, micro and a/p. Maybe move micro to the prior semester and do human development in the spring.

no you can definitely do that! this semester i'm taking 17 credit hours and i still have a little free time, i'm in microbiology, chem 2, developmental psych, intro to philosophy, and advanced first aid....good luck!!!

no this should be doable. fall 2007 i had 19 credits and now i have 20!

just make sure you will actually devote time to studying!

jelly221,RN, MSN · Jan 24, 2008

it's definitely doable! do you work, or are you a FT student? If you work FT that could get hard to find study time, esp. in 09 w/ nutrition and micro. But if you're a FT student those are good loads to give you time for studying for the sciences.

Totally doable! Especially if you're working only part-time or have a job that allows you to focus on school. I'm taking 19 credits this semester. I don't have a lot of free time, but as long I stay on top of everything, it's manageable.

That said, I gotta go...off to Micro then Nurtition! (Thursdays I have class 8 a.m. - 9 p.m.)

Cheers and Good luck!

Hi,

I took a&p and micro in the same semester and it is a lot of work, especially lab tests. It's certainly doable, I'm just not sure I would do it with chemistry and the other classes on your schedule.

Where there's a will there's a way though, so I guess it's really up to you.

Good luck to you,

Boat
