My name is Martha and I'm an LPN in Mid-Michigan. I'm 36 and finally going back for the big "RN" after 8 years of being an LPN. My first hurdle is A&P. Any Suggestions for studying? The College Network wants 450.00 for their module, and I think that's quite steep. Any feedback would be welcome. Thank you!

Do not use college network. Utilize studygroup 101 and practice exams

Not sure if your books are from the publishing company Pearson but they have something called mastering A&P and it is so helpful. It has practice lab practicals, cadaver photos and covers everything for A&P I and II. I aced every test using that program but I think the bundle with the book and online code is around $200-$300. If it intrigues you and you study smart and hard, you can do it. It's a lot of memorization in A&P I.

I would recommend reviewing your notes as much as possible. Even if you have only 5 or 10 minutes here and there, it will help you memorize what you need to know by constantly reviewing. Memorization is definitely key. If you write out your lecture notes by hand, you may want to re-write them neater on a new sheet of paper after class. I'd also recommend making flashcards. I would either make flashcards by hand, or use studyblue or quizlet to do so. I know these suggestions might be kind of basic, but it worked for me. All of those fancy sites are very nice, but I think you will be the most satisfied by just traditional studying. They are nice to have, but they aren't necessary in order to succeed. Best of luck!

I agree with has777. I made it through A&P I II by making flashcards, but I am a visual learner. Also, my prof had slides to study for the anatomy portion. I printed them out and used them to study for the lab, flashcards for lecture. I literally made over 500 flashcards for both courses, but got an A in both. A&P is intimidating at first, but its not nearly as bad as thought it would be. Micro is even easier :) OP, if you know how to study, I would save my hard earned $$ and just use traditional methods. Good luck!
