I know- it's actually too good to be true. I know in nursing school I'm really going to hit that system hard!

The Immune System
The Lymphatic System
Nutrition, Metabolism, and Thermoregulation


These WOULD be covered had I taken A+ P2 at the same campus I took A+P 1 at ( I know b/c I bought the powerpoints from my AP+1 teacher as I really liked her layout)..but I had to switch campuses for scheduling.

So basically I will finish A+P 2 at this campus...and be 2 "systems" and 1 "area" of education not taught at all. I guess I have to learn them on my own ( I can do this)but I'm really confused as to why 1 school w/ 3 different campuses would have different criteria at each campus.

The only thought I have is that it's a shorter semester ( 10 weeks summer instead of 14 weeks fall)...but I can't imagine just chopping out the entire immune and lymphatic systems.

Has anyone gone through A+P 1 and 2 and had a system NOT covered?

Our classes are 3 hours long 2 times a week. One day lecture the other Lab. In it we are to cover ALL of the systems. There are quizzed every week on every lab. Along with it a Lab Report (usually 5 pages lonng) etc. There are 4 long exams and a Final in Lecture with 3 Lab Practicals and a final in Lab etc... There is hardly any time to breath LOL!

Anyhow, I feel it is important to cover all you can. You get the most of it.


But if your school does not require it maybe you are going to get it later on in the program? I do not know, but you might want to ask your advisor why the difference.


Good Luck,

Jessica

It's not that the school doesn't require it..it's that one campus covers it and the other campus doesn't. I, unfortunately, am taking part 2 at the campus that isn't covering them. I think it should be uniform across the campuses since it's all the same college.

I am going to ask the professor today about it.

Yes, you are right it is strange. But think positively

Maybe their structure is different and you will be getting it later on

We almost entirely skipped the integumetary system covered it in a small portion of one lecture.

from what people have told me at work, there were no questions from A & P on their RN boards. I find that hard to believe. Maybe not the anatomy, but I would think physiology woiuld fit into a lot of diagnosis, and disorders. Since my particular study guides and books cover so many topics, and even more than I see listed, I feel good. But, its your education, what do you want to learn? I've been an LPN for a long time, and I find I continually am looking up things, and am always learning. Sometimes I am angry I wasn't taught more in my LPN classes, but then what all can they give you in such a short time. Hardly a day goes by I don't look something up on the internet or the library at work, or at minimual in a nursing journal. I have a new job now and it requires me to hit the books hard. I've had to put my studies on hold, to study for my new position. Now, just when I think I'm able to return to my studies, they dropped off a pack of 25 learning packets and tests, additional to the 22 I had to take to get the job in the first place. I've been here two months and attended two wonderful lectures, and have had to take at least 10 other learning packets inbetween starting and now. This is quite normal I understand at my new job. They want us all to be on the same page. I said all this to say, learning never ends, and if you really want to do well, you will continue it in one way or another even after school ends.

Talked to my professor today. He is new and he said that he thought we had covered those 2 during A+P 1. I gave him the list of what we covered at my campus( A+P1_ but wasn't sure what they covered at the campus I am at now. I told him I just thought it would have been uniform. He said he would look into it and that he will adjust the schedule if need be...he set a lot of time aside for the heart/blood/circulation and said he may need to shorten that up in order to get them in. According to him lymphatic could be covered in 1 class and probably immune as well. We shall see

Thanks

choose student edtition (not instructor edition) then click on the link that says "study partner", choose the link that says "essential study partner" then choose the button that says "integration and coordination"...this is a really great website, it has interactive quizzes and crosswords and more....gl!

I just spend some time doing the end of the unit tests. They are really good. Thank you for the site.

This was the site for my textbook for A&P. I absolutely loved it. I thought it was a big help.
