I'm in A&P II now, and I know how you feel. It can get overwhelming and disheartening at times. The things that I find help me: Read ahead and take notes ahead on the chapter you will be going...
I'm a CMA working on my RN right now (almost done with pre-nursing). The classes we had to take (terminology, coding, that sort of thing) are not anywhere near as in depth compared to the classes you...
Soooo, now that we are knee-deep in fall 2011, how's everyone feeling? I'm taking A&P II, Nutrition, Spanish I and College Algebra (). I think except for the math, I'm kicking buttinski. Anyone...
A in English 112 (so happy to see that class go, btw) and a B in A&P I. I'm not terribly pleased by the B, but I'll take what I can get after a hellacious semester. I'm actually quite excited, I...

Sooooo, anyone signed up for summer classes yet? I'm going to take some silly online things (communication and computer information) so at least keep things going. It'll be a nice break (I hope...
I'm rocking English 112 (Mmmm, Othello), and A&P I is trying very hard to kick my butt, but I'm fighting back. BIG BIG BIG test on the musculoskeletal system tomorrow.
I am working on A&P I and stupid English 112. I am currently only taking 2 classes at a time due to work and kid restraints. It seems like forever until I will be finished. It's terribly...

I was having joint and large muscle pain to the point where I went to endo to explore the possibility of Fibromyalgia. My D level was down to 12 ( I think our cutoff for the low range is 30 in my...

I, for one, got my MA because I am a single mom, it was the only part time program in my area that I could finsish in a reasonable amount of time that is both in healthcare and earns more than minimum...
