How many semesters of anatomy did you have to take?

I was just wondering if most people had to take more than one semester of A&P for their nursing program? I feel like I got really lucky because I only had to take one semester but it seems like the norm is at least two semesters.

we had labs for each class...each semester,

anatomy lecture, anatomy lab, and histology lecture. (all have to be taken together unless u pass physiology lab and not lecture and vise versa. But not same with anantomy all included, fail one fail em all, retake em all)

Physiology, and physiology lab.

5 classes 2 semsters. But you can take all in one semester, I did but it was hard to keep them straight.

My program has A & P seperate. First you take Anatomy lecture, then the next semester is Physiology and you can take the Physiology lab at the same time. Once you are finished with those you can take the Cadaver lab, so at minimum it is three semesters, 4 classes.:stone

2 semsters worth - but I was actually able to take it in one semester (two intensive 1/2-semester classes - the classes met something like 8 hours/week for a whole semester).

I still have to take 2 semesters also, both with lab. And the school I decided to go to does NOT want me taking it at CCCOnline. Thank goodness I asked them before I spent the $$$ for it!

I took 2 semester as well. Anatomy w/lab first semester and then Physiology w/lab the next semester.

I LOVEd those classes, still to this day Anatomy has been my favorite class :) The lady who taught it just retired from teaching the med students Gross Anatomy after 19 years so she knew her stuff and she was really tought but my god I learned so much! The guy who taught my Physio class helped write the Marieb textbook.

At my school the ADN students take 1 semester of A&P (no labs) and the BSN/pre-meds/pre-dental/dental hygene all take them seperately (at *my* school the seperate classes go much more in depth is the main difference) and no it is not confusing to take them seperately and you could take both classes in the same semester if you wanted to (so that would be 10 hours total) or take them each in different semesters.

one program i will apply to only requires one semester, but you can take two. the other program requires two. so i might as well take both semesters and have my bases covered.

One class or two just be sure whatever you take your school will accept. Hate to see you take anything and then not have it accepted.

Good luck!
