3. Intrigued by this Coursera Vital Signs Course

   neld257 replied to Ariana214's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am also taking this course. I have already completed A&P 1 and 2, and will be starting my nursing classes in the fall. I decided to take this course to help review some of the things from A&P and to help tie them into the actual nursing p...

4. Do HACC's A&P classes require animal dissection?

   neld257 replied to Tashie27's topic in Pennsylvania

   pmabraham: No worries. It's too bad that all the professors don't take advantage of the opportunity to show the students what the actual organs look like. Looking at the kidneys was especially cool.

5. Do HACC's A&P classes require animal dissection?

   neld257 replied to Tashie27's topic in Pennsylvania

   Hi pmabraham: Yes, we certainly did do dissections at HACC Lancaster Campus. If you read my post you will see that they were done as a group in A&P II. The parts are stored in buckets in the same shelving as the microscopes in the lab. If you ...

6. Failing....? Your school's policy?

   neld257 replied to KJoRN81's topic in General Students

   My ADN program requires a 75% or higher in class and clinical is met/not met. You must meet both to advance to the next class, as well as maintain a 2.0 gpa. If you fail 2 classes you are not eligible for readmission into the same program, but you ...

7. Dropping classes

   neld257 replied to dnelson120's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My program uses a points system to determine who gets into the nursing program. There are 100 possible points you can earn. No history of withdrawals, D, or F in A&P I, AP& II, and Microbiology gives you 12 points so in my program, yes, hav...

8. Your Interview Outfits

   neld257 replied to RonnieDita's topic in Job Hunt

   While researching the GN Residency program for new grads at a hospital in my area I found this statement under their FAQ section regarding interviews... "Dress appropriately. This is a competitive job interview. Dress professionally, preferably in a...

9. Nervous about this upcoming fall!

   neld257 replied to LPN709's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took A&P II and Micro together this past fall and got a high "A" in both classes. I actually found that a lot of the same concepts were being taught in both classes so they kind of reinforced each other. If you did really well in A&P I (I...

11. A&P 1, Any Tips or Tricks to get the most out of the course.

    neld257 replied to jnichox2's topic in Pre-Nursing

    YouTube videos are a great tool for the anatomy portion of the class. They are a great way to get more study time outside of the lab. There are many professors out there who post videos using the actual models you will use in the lab. My school al...

12. Prereqs Help (Microbio/A&P)

    neld257 replied to loverofall's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I agree with pmabraham. Taking Micro and AP2 together in the summer will be extremely hard. I took AP2 and Micro together this past fall, and did very well in both, after killing AP1 with nearly all 100s on exams in the Spring. My adviser told me ...

14. Do HACC's A&P classes require animal dissection?

    neld257 replied to Tashie27's topic in Pennsylvania

    I took A&P I and II at HACC Lancaster campus - Spring and Fall 2013 respectively. I do not remember any dissection in A&P I, but we definitely had dissections in A&P II. I specifically remember looking at the eye, the brain and the kidn...
