KristeyK 285 Posts Specializes in Private Practice- wellness center. Oct 7, 2010 I LOVE Micro, A&P was harder for me, mainly because of ALL the memorization it requires. If anyone else answers, you just might get a different answer. If Chem is frying your brain, Micro definitely won't help it any. HTH!
mangopeach 916 Posts Oct 7, 2010 Micro is a breeze to me compared to A&P. Not saying its easy as pie, nope, but I spent way way way more time studying for A&P than I'm doing for Micro. I'm half way through the semester of Micro and have done well on exams with not nearly half the studying I did for A&P. I almost miss not studying as much! LOL. I don't want to fall into bad habits before I start nursing classes in January. But having said that, my thing was always to take only 1 science class at a time to get the best grade possible, so if you are struggling with Chem. I don't think you should take it with another science class at all. Focus on just one at a time so you can get the best grade possible.

Mangopeach is dead on-there isn't nearly the amount of studying. Also, to me anyway, I feel like I can actually comprehend what I'm reading rather than have to read it 10 times before I get it. Good luck!

K nurse-one-day 693 Posts Oct 7, 2010 Micro was the hardest for me by far. AP1 was just memorization. AP2 was really hard too.
LorilouRN 18 Posts Specializes in ICU, ED, ER, Family Practice. Has 4 years experience. Oct 7, 2010 Micro is easier than A&P at my school. In fact, a lot of it is from A&P I which I already took, so it feels like some new facts plus review since I already had to learn it in every unit so far!
Ashersmamma 28 Posts Oct 7, 2010 I think Micro is harder by far. I loved A&P I & II. The concepts as they apply to a system or body part are much easier to grasp. Micro is so much chemistry & amino acids, enzymes, cell structure. ZzzzzZZZzzzz I just don't care for it much.
FLDoula 230 Posts Specializes in N/A. Oct 7, 2010 I think it depends on your strength and weaknesses; not so much as which is harder. So far Micro has been a repeat of A&P 1 & 2 in some aspects...specifically cell biology and a lot of chemistry. I don't think it's "harder"....just different as it's going into much more detail than in A&P. I'm enjoying Micro and the lab.
BSNMomOf6 209 Posts Oct 7, 2010 Micro was hard for me, but only b/c of the teacher! A&p I is mostly memorization, and I can't say yet about A&P 2. It's DIFFERENT for everyone too. Good luck.
