I'm not sure if this is in the right place lol but I'm currently working on my pre reqs for a LPN-RN program at a community college. I'm thinking about taking A&P 2 next summer and I was wondering how this a&p compares to the class in the LPN program. I graduated from a technical college, so our a&p was crammed into a small amount of time. My curriculum says 78 hours lol so not long. It was hard but my favorite subject and I managed an A because I'm blessed with a good memory. So I was wondering does this give me a slight advantage for my a&p class in college? Enough I should be okay with a&p 2 in the summer? I know this is a dumb question and my class is NEXT year but I'm a chronic worry wart and I can't help but think ahead lol thanks for any replies!!! :)

I worked full time, took a class online, raising my little girls and taking A&P I as well this past spring. I got an A and it was pretty easy. Taking A&P II over the summer this past summer however was not fun. We covered waaaaay more info than in the first one and the timing was cut way down. It's possible, but not enjoyable and you might not get as much out of it.... (I still for an A, it was just much harder to do)

I understand what your saying and congrats for working hard and getting it done! I know it's not easy...but I'm determined to do it. If I don't take a&p 2 in the summer if will put my application process back a whole year..and I definitely don't want to do that. I'm a procrastinator though so I find working under the pressure and having class everyday is good for me lol so hopefully that will help me out. Thanks for your reply!

If not taking AP II is going to push you back a whole year I say take it do you can be ahead if the game. It's not like its a race, but a year behind for one class makes no sense.

I took AP II last summer and while it was a lot of info for a shirt amount of time it's definitely doable. I got an A

Good luck @(^_^)@
