  2. A&P II with Micro...has anyone done it??

    Yes, it can be done! I took A&P II and Microbiology, both their labs, and two other classes this past Spring semester. I got As in all my classes, and because I didn't spread them out, was able to apply to my program (and get accepted!) without d...
  3. What to do when you do bad on pre-req assignments

    If this was me, I would reevaluate my approach. It seems like the study methods you are using now are not giving you the outcomes you want so you need to find a different way to learn the material. Take more time to study the material and really unde...
  4. How much are you paying...

    At my community college the nursing program is tuition free, which is amazing. I have to take a patient skills class my first semester and it is general entry, so I have to pay tuition for that. When I saw my bill for the Fall 2013 semester it was $1...

  7. Spring '13 & Summer '13 Class load

    Go for it!! It seems that you have been able to handle the course load before, this semester is no exception. This past semester I took A&P I & Lab, Human Development, Human Nutrition, Clinical Prep, and a required Career Exploration class. I...

    Begin with anatomical terminology. You will have to know how to describe the location of all parts of the body in relation to one another. For example, lateral & medial, superficial & deep, ventral & dorsal, etc. Learn all the organs and...

    A&P II this Spring, finally!! I am so excited to start my last semester of prerequisites! I can't wait to get that acceptance letter from the school of nursing. It is what keeps me going, especially during finals week.
  10. Spring'13 Schedule

    This semester I had to take 14 credit hours in order to qualify for my financial aid (12 is full time). A&P I was three of those hours and A&P I Lab was one of those hours. I have a 97 in my lecture and 94 in my lab. I am also taking Human De...
  11. This past semester (fall 2012) I took both A&P I and Human Development and have an A in both. I would suggest reading the material before hand, or at least skimming it. Then take notes, lots and lots of notes! After class, re-read the notes out l...
