1. Help with body cavities?

   amom23 replied to nohika's topic in Pre-Nursing

   When I took this class, there was not near enough time to go through and learn all the models. Ask if your school has "open lab" where you go in on your own time, we did that alot. Also a bunch of us took our cameras in there and photographed the m...

3. Supposed to register for classes tomorrow... BUT they are already FULL!!!

   amom23 replied to TamiLee's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi Tami Lee Your fellow Sierra classmate here, I just wanted to add it makes a difference what class you are trying to add. If it's a lab science they will only add so many because of the size limitations in the labs. For instance I took Chem 2A th...

5. Tested Positive for Influenza A, scared for my family

   amom23 replied to amom23's topic in COVID

   I had to respond to this because it is not accurate. My doctor gave me a standard flu test, it was positive for Influenza type A. At that point they send it on to the county health department for further testing to determine if it's swine which can...

7. Any off the counter books you recommend for A&P?

   amom23 replied to aabdelhadi88's topic in Pre-Nursing

   i bought "atlas of the human body" from costco author is Beverly McMillan. Summarizes things pretty good, but doesn't go into the detail you need to be successful in that course, if it was me, I'd get the required text book and start reading that. T...

8. Record lecture and put to ipod...

   amom23 replied to phalangae's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I did this, I used a digital recorder, then either listened to it right from there or uploaded it to my computer. From there I could convert to mp3 and do anything with it! I even e-mailed some lectures to a couple of classmates. The other thing I...

9. How many hours did you study A&P and what grade did you get?

   amom23 replied to BreatheFree's topic in Pre-Nursing

   more hours than I could count, like other posters said, some things required tons of time for me like learning the bones, features of bones, muscle names, insertions, origins, actions etc, nerves and blood vessels. Other things didn't require as much...

    amom23 replied to bigsick_littlesick's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hi I just wanted to say I feel for ya! I am also in the sac area (live in Auburn) and am taking pre-req's at Sierra. I don't really have advice for you because it sounds like your only option is to continue to apply to American River. If it was me...

12. How does nutrition compare . . . .

    amom23 replied to GodivaGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Unfortunately, I haven't taken many other pre-req's. But I can tell you for me, nutrition has been pretty easy. It's more busy work than anything. Diet study's etc... The reading is easy and I've spent maybe an average of 2-3 hours per week on th...

13. Another question about science courses

    amom23 replied to amom23's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks for your reply, so are you saying take physiology before anatomy? Also, I don't think I can take chem at another college, I've thought of that, but I just live too far away, and with 3 kids I don't want to make school more difficult than it a...
