WOW! Micro, A&PI, AND chemistry???? Yeah you will definitely have your hands full. I hear micro is tough, chemistry can be tough, and A&P I like Tmowry said isnt hard but its definitely time consuming. So you will have three labs a week, 3 lectures a week, and nutrition isnt hard. I hope you wont be working. Good luck, the class you will have to watch out for the most is Micro. I wouldnt recommend taking more than two sciences, but if your one of those people that doesnt need to study a lot and has good time management skills then go for it.
Actually it depends on the school and your professor. Because I found A&P I e to be interesting, it took some time but I only had this class once a week so maybe that's why it wasn't that time consuming. I also found Micro to be easy but that's because of my professor. Chem would depend on the type of chem class, organic sucked but I made a B+ in the class so I was satisfied.
For the fall semester, even though it looks like you are taking 4 classes, but when you factor in all the labs, you're actually taking 7 classes. Each lab for the sciences is like taking an additional class. I'm not sure if it's the same for all labs, but we had a quiz first thing before the start of each lab.
I took A&P 1 & Micro together and then Chem and A&P2 together.
Good luck to you.

Hello everyone, I just recently decided to pursue a BSN. I just graduated with a Bachelors in History/Minor in Education and then all of a sudden, 3 weeks ago, I decided to go back to school 1) because nursing is what i originally wanted to do, and 2) because during my internship for my last degree i realized it just wasnt for me. Anyway..... i registered and this is what I'm taking. I have no other option because these are the only prerequisites i have left.
(fall)
AP1
Microbiology
Chemistry
Fundamentals of Nutrition
Im leaving AP2 for the summer
I know its going to be difficult but I'm usually a good student. (I graduated with a 3.8 this past May) I don't work but i have 2 kids (3 and 1) and I'm 2 months pregnant. My husband and mom have always been a great help throughout my education but it still worries me that these classes are going to be too difficult. Are they hard or are they just time consuming? Am i crazy for taking all these courses at once? Which ones do i need to watch out for the most? Im soooooo scared
