Two sciences at once??

I'm currently taking A&P alongside Micro. I actually have found it to be extremely helpful, in that at least for the first half of the semester the content we were learning was lined up every week. (Granted, that could be happenstance, but it's been helpful anyway!) We were learning mechanisms of Eukaryotic cells in both the same week, the same with chemistry basics, etc. You'll find a lot of crossover between most science courses, so sometimes taking them at the same time can be a little easier than you think, in that your study time is reduced. A mitochondria is a mitochondria in either Micro or A&P.

All I can say with so many positive comments here I am not sure of all of them being realistic.Or the courses have become easier.You work full time have you calculated how much study time you will need ?If you do not maintain good grades what are your chances then. How much will it cost to repeat anything.

These posts make me shake my head.

I think any bright, competent student can successfully take multiple rigorous classes in one term. In fact, I believe that it should be the expectation of aspiring nurses.

I'm taking A&P and Micro this summer as long as I can get into both! I've done a lot of research and basically, you CAN do it, but you have to work. I'm excited to challenge myself. Good luck! I'll be on the struggle bus right next to you. :)

I did A&P 2, with Micro and nutrution. you just have to manage your time and assignments. I used a planner. Nursing school itself will be harder. Good luck
