A&P I Spring 2007 Semster - Welcome!

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

I will be taking A&P I next semester when I come back from Christmas break for the Spring 2007 semester. I didn't know if someone was going to start a group or not, so I thought I would create a thread to find those of us who have been "getting our feet wet" and are going to start into the fun stuff during the Spring 2007 semester. I look forward to seeing who all will be feeling my pain!

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that I got 107% on my lecture exam, the one I was worrying so much about. Im not sure what happened, perhaps I just overanalyzed a lot of questions.

Im gonna head back to the muscles.

By the way, for anyone who wants muscle flash cards to print out and some other things for the muscle unit, I have made a website for my study group with all of the documents I've been making. Check it out at www.geocities.com/maggiofliore

And congratulations to everyone. I am glad we are all doing so good, rather than hearing people bombing the test.

Hi! Im currently in A&P I, and so far am not doing as well as I would have hoped. Surprisingly, I am doing very well in Chemistry, which is where I thought I would have had problems. Right now we are in tissues, and I'm having some trouble ID'ing the different tissues. With over a hundres slides that the professor could put on our practical, does anyone have any tips on how to get these down?:eek:

go to my website at www.geocities.com/maggiofliore

click on tissue flash cards under unit one

I have alot of them already made

Histology freaked me out bad when we first started but I just made flash cards of various different types of the same tissue and it worked out. I dont think I have the key on there but if you are gonna use them I can identify them and PM you, just let me know.

I was very intimidated by histology but once I started memorizing the information regarding to lecture, I was able to connect the dots with lab. Youll get it, trust me :)

Hello everyone!

Chiming in to say I got a 96 on my lab exam today. Hooraaaaaayy!!! I had a bad week last week. I got my first C in the class, but this A totally makes up for it. Today's exam was by far the hardest one yet...the muscles of the hands, feet, forearm, legs, arms, and hips. Whew, I'm so proud!

I am currently in a 9 wk A&P course. I have an A in the course and have had 96 or above on all my exams or assignments. My concern is because the class is so fast paced I don't feel like I'm actually retaining the info. I only have two weeks left then I will be going into a 9 wk A&P 2 course. I'm trying to decide if I should maybe shift to a traditional semester for the second half. I don't want to put myself at a disadvantage when I actually start the nursing program. A&P 1 is my last pre req to apply. Any input?

I just finished my Unit 4 test (DNA and all that "fun" stuff!) and after the last two units (All the chemistry stuff! I was worried that my grade would stay down (I'd gotten a C on the last two tests) but I got an A!! (93%!!!!)

I just got back my second test and I made a 98 on it! It covered DNA replication, protein synthesis, metabolism, and all the tissues! Glad that was over. Now onto the Integumentary and Skeletal Systems.

I'm glad to hear your input: it hadn't occurred to me that a short course would be harder to retain. I'm taking a semester-long A&P 1, but planning on summer-session A&P 2, so I'm in the reverse situation.

What I'm finding, so far, is that there is a lot of overlap with the chemistry and biology I took last semester (I took chem 101 and biology for science majors, which is hard but I would recommend it). I'm finding that the recap is definitely helpful. So maybe you can look beyond your A&P 2 course and think about what courses you'll be taking where there may be some overlap in the material -- I think that may be the most important issue for long-term retention.

WOW! I have just read the first 23 pages and am a envious of you guys. I am taking A&P 1 (full semester) which started Jan 22nd. There are no quizzes/tests. Our grade will be based on 3 lecture exams (200 questions each) and 4 lab exams (100 questions each). Our first exam is not until March 1st and will cover 5 chapters.

I'm finding myself overwhelmed with information. I'm not sure how I'm going to do, but as in everything I'm trying to keep a positive outlook.

thanks for listening
