Steve Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I'm obviously trying to knock out the prereqs as fast as possible while maintaining A's but I also don't want to bit off more than I can chew, No doubt most of you have been in this position, EMT-B (8 credits) Chem 1 (4cr) Anat and Phys 1(4cr) Nutrition (4cr) I'm not a genius and don't have a science background. Looking for advice/personal experience I guess. I can already tell that Chem is going to be very time intensive. Nutrition is the latest add-on and I'm having 2nd thoughts.

PACdan Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Anatomy can be challenging, lots of little things to remember. Especially if you have a cadaver lab component. EMT is fun, hands on training/repetition. General chem isn't too terrible. It's usually good to pair classes that will compliment each other. What time of day/how many hours per day is the EMT course? You're full time without it (12 credits). Although it usually isn't a strenuous course, it does tend to eat up time (nights/weekends).

Steve Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 EMT is going to be 2 nights a week(8 hrs total) with a Saturday thrown in once in a while. I'm most excited to take this, and A&P has me very interested from what I've learned so far, mostly from watching youtube vids. Those 2 courses should compliment each other and I ended up throwing in nutrition b/c it goes with the flow and I'm already maxed out on tuition.

bcreid2 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 When i went back to finish prerequisites i took EMT-B course, A&P II w/lab, Genetics, Microbiology w/lab, and ochem II. I had a science background and I worked my but off to get A's and do well in the EMT course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted January 8, 2014 Moderator Share Posted January 8, 2014 I would break this up just for sanity sake: emt+ a+p one term chem + nutrition another. chem always takes more time than you think it will due totime spent in lab, writing lab reports, etc probably doable in 1 term but it would not be fun and your grades might suffer. you need to nail all of these with As.

Administrator rev ronin Posted January 9, 2014 Administrator Share Posted January 9, 2014 A&P and EMT have some good synergy between them. Chem and nutrition less so, but it doesn't hurt to add them in as well. I don't know if you can keep a 4.0 while doing all that, but that combination and intensity of classes sounds like a good dry run for PA school.
