1. A&P I - Is it that bad?

   justcharlotte replied to 987!'s topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would say spend a lot of time on finding a way to learn all of the material. For me it was flashcards- boring but it worked. I would make them the day after the class and carry them around all week studying them at any chance I got (ex the bus) un...

2. A&P 1 Spring 08

   justcharlotte replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Wow! Just a bit of bragging here- I JUST got my final grade back from A&P1 and I got an A!! I'm so excited- it's especially nice since this course has been so hard and overwhelming at times. If you've been following this you may know that about h...

3. A&p 1 Study Tips?

   justcharlotte replied to cafemocha33's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I probably wouldn't have done nearly as well in AP1 without flash cards- it's easy to study for the final if you can just go over all of your flashcards from the semester Also before big exams remember that they can ask for paragraph responses- know ...

4. 4.0 GPA people, HOW can you do this?!!!

   justcharlotte replied to nursic's topic in Pre-Nursing

   wow- no worries about ranting it's good to get it out and that sounds like a really insanely busy situation I don't have kids so I can't really give you a lot of advice, but maybe you should try to initiate the 'I'm in nursing school so you guys have...

   wow! amazing! I'm especially impressed because the muscles have ENDLESS amounts to memorize- great job!

6. A&P Summer 2008

   justcharlotte replied to Do Or Do Not's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm sure it's possible, but also crazy :) haha jk I just finished A&P and it was a lot of work- if flashcards work for you start them from class one so that for the final you can just go over all of them to study. I agree with the person who sai...

7. A&P 1 Spring 08

   justcharlotte replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hey guys! I'm officially done A&P1!! I haven't received my exam or lab exam marks yet but they're done and all I have to do is wait. I was so scared of the lab exam because last semester's average was 5 out of 15 (and it's worth 15% of our final...

8. A&P 1 Spring 08

   justcharlotte replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing

   thanks so much for your encouragement guys! I think the exam went really well. It took me almost 3 hours to finish (which was max time), but I think the majority of the exam went smoothly. Now I only have the lab exam left! Good luck to everybody!! P...

   Oh man- A&P final tomorrow at 8:30am!! Almost unfair considering it's a night class. Anyone else going into exams soon?

10. The heart atria and ventricles

    justcharlotte replied to NurseBettyICU's topic in Pre-Nursing

    just a note: in our A&P class we had to dissect a heart. If you don't get a chance to do this you can go to a butcher and BUY one (make sure it has valves) and dissect it yourself or with a friend who's in the class This will really help and you...

11. 4.0 GPA people, HOW can you do this?!!!

    justcharlotte replied to nursic's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would also say on thing, that seems self-explainatory but most people don't do it- Ask questions in class!! (or after class). I cannot say enough that your teacher will be the one writing your tests and quizzes- she'll know what you need to know. I...

12. 4.0 GPA people, HOW can you do this?!!!

    justcharlotte replied to nursic's topic in Pre-Nursing

    take a realistic number of credits- balance out the 'hard' courses with the 'easy' courses because nobody has time to study everything (especially with 2 kids! wow!) I make flash cards and study them every chance I get- then when it comes to midterm ...

    justcharlotte replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing

    ^^ that's too bad about the muscle exam- I too am having trouble with them- so many origins and insertions!! Good job on the lecture exam though! Keep going- not a lot left :)

14. Learning new words

    justcharlotte replied to Javeed's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I don't have a website, but I can honestly say that by the end of A&P it will be a lot easier to naturally say things correctly just from class lectures and reading- are you sure nowhere in your textbook is has pronunciation? most have some sort ...
