Hello!
I read this thread and I had a flashback remembering how tough A&P was for me. One thing that helped me a lot was to think of something that I could remember and then apply it to anatomy...I think that it is called pneumonics (sp??)
example: "SITS" group....rotator cuff muscles:
Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres minor, Subscapularis (SITS)
or Fat People Often Take Seconds :bones in the head: Frontal, Periotal, Occipital, Temporal, Schemoid
(wow, time for me to brush up on my spelling!!! Yikes)
But anatomy was 3 year ago and I can remember a good bit of things that help me get through.
This might help you too...give it a try. Good Luck!
Gator.......going to get my medical dictionary and learn how to spell.
How to retain all the information learned?
There is so much information to be learned with A&P and the nursing courses. How do you retain the stuff learned to apply it when you finally finish and begin working? Do you remember everything? I'm thinking of the body parts and functions also. I feel like I take my tests and then forget about everything. Also in the nursing courses, will I remember about diagnoses, interventions and how to evaluate it all to develop a careplan?
