what does the AP II consist of.. I just took my final for AP I today I have never been so happy for a class to be over.. Loved the class.. teacher well thats another story. But we started at cell bio and ended with the PNS and some of the branches..so Im thinking AP II will be more systems? Endocrine, Digestive.. that sort of stuff.. anyone care to share about AP II I know its diff at any school just would like a genrealized idea!! Steph

I will be taking A&P 1 this summer along with Psycology. I too am changing my career, except I am a bit older, 43. My background is in accounting and when my company started doing cuts and I was one of them. So I decided now was the time to change gears. Children are grown, husband wants to retire and I need a change. My wonderful hubby said he will work so I can go to school then once I graduate and start working he will retire. He is really excited about me going in the nursing field, and he never really cared what I did before.

me too! me too!

i'll be starting A&P1 on monday with edukan. i'm so excited about finally getting it out of the way! i took chem last summer and had to withdraw. i was taking so many classes at one time and i thought i could handle it.. major mistake. science doesn't come easily for me, at all. i've been studying, in preparation, for the past week and this time around i'm only taking ONE class at a time. i hope everyone makes an A!!!

ooh, and just to throw this out there. a great study group for A&P1 is on msn groups. some ex-A&P teacher runs it and has all kinds of tests/quizzes he used to give with lectures and worksheets and study cards.. its awesome! http://groups.msn.com/AnatomyPhysiologyTests

Yep me too. A&P I. Im a pretty big nerd too. I actually read the first 5 chapters before class even started....it starts monday. My wife is an RN and I used to be an electrician. When I was overseas in the army, we lost our medic....I was handed and oxygen bottle, and A&P textbook and a PHTLS book and told "if anybody breaks....you gotta fix em". I hope to make friends here and gain some study buddies. Just curious what text books are being used. My school uses Hole's A&P. Thanks!

HAhahaha, gotta love the humor were all having with this So Obwannabe, how many days a week do u go to school and for how many hours??Also, what book are u using? I dont understand "Osmosis" I keep re reading that area in my book and its not registeringAAAAHHHH!! And I thought that learning about the cell and all its parts was complicated,i was relieved to move on to the next chapter...only to find out about phagocytosis, receptor mediated endocytosis and all that cell division stuff So help me understand here, you read a chapter in class then test on it next day? Im confused...

Oh yea...also get the course syllabus or the semester schedule. Know what the prof wants before you read the unneccesary stuff. I will post all that I can. We are deep into the perfunctory stuff.....the 11 systems and body cavities and organization. I made up a mnemonic device for the eleven..its abit "army" but it works for me.
