Which prerequisite plan of study should I pick?

do the quickest option. at the end of the day, nursing school will be just as busy. do you work or have kids? if not, you should be good. it will be hard, but hey, anything worth doing in life is. goodluck.

I would definitely NOT take three sciences at once. I took micro and A&P I together, with no other classes, and that was plenty. If your school is anything like mine, the labs will have their own separate assignments and tests that require just as much, often more, study as the lecture component.

I would also encourage you to really take your time and be thorough about completing your prereqs well. Nursing school is very competitive, even at community colleges, and high grades are key. Instead of cramming everything into two semesters and possibly struggling to get competitive grades, I would recommend planning a schedule that would give you the best shot at knocking those out of the park. Besides, the information in those science courses is going to follow you for the rest of your life, so the better you can learn it (instead of just knowing enough to get by and then forgetting everything), the more you set yourself up for success in those difficult nursing courses.

I think it all really depends on your school-work-home balance. I had no kids, but worked full time nights and thought I could handle gen chem, A+P and micro. It was terrible and I ended up having to retake my A+P to get into the program I'm in now. Shan made an excellent point about the information following you; you don't want to be six months deep into the program and not know the basic knowledge of those prereqs. Plan 2 seems the best, but just remember that the labs you take for all the science courses will feel like another full time course rather than a 1 credit one.

What option did you end up choosing. I’m trying to finish my prerequisite in 3 semester
