I was talking to my advisor at school today and I have two options for fall, I can take A&P II, microbiology, psychology and literature OR A&P II, psychology and start my nursing classes.
The first option will help me cut down on general classes so when I do nursing classes I can concentrate only on them but it'll add on a semester to my degree
The second option will help me start but will be anywhere between 16-19 cr hours, 4 days a week, 5'ish hours a day
Any opinions on either option?

What a hard choice... I know we have nursing students in my school that had to take a&pll and they do not recommend it. Some pass and some fail. But one thing they all agree with is not to do it if you have a choice. Good luck with your choice!!!! Try asking some of the students in your school you may find them in a&pll this semester. And while you are talking to them maybe you find out how a&pll will be^.^

I will tell you one thing, A&P II and Micro has a whole lot of material to be studying as it takes hours of memorization and understanding.
I would recommend taking the A&P an micro courses before taking your nursing courses. That way, you will be familiar with it and shouldn't be as hard as you will go more in depth with A&P in your nursing courses. There will be more heavy material to be studying in the nursing courses as well, therefore, get your general ed. out of the way to alleviate some stress during your study hours IMO.
Hope this helps :)
