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!

Hi,

I am starting AP II tomorrow...

Keep in touch,

Dwray

I say yes to the stickey as A&P is crucial to the success of pre-nursing students like myself; alot of good can come from this. I will start A&P I in the summer, 2007 semester followed by A&P II and Micro in the fall to finish things up. My goal was to be a good student before taking these classes (organized, an efficient studier, etc) and I hope it pays off. I still worry about these classes though. Let's stick together through these unshure times. Thank God for all of you! ...newjack

Thanks, Libragirl. Life has gotten in the way of my finishing by 40, but you are right. It is just a number. Each semester I get a little closer. (I have 3 more prereqs before I can apply.) Anatomy starts tomorrow, and I am excited (albeit slightly nervous as well).

Good luck everyone.

p.s. Anyone, like me, taking anatomy and physio separately?

I'm taking it separately too, and I start on Thursday -- eek! :uhoh21:

Specializes in critical care, PACU.

So how was everyone's first day of anatomy? I take it from the lack of responses that you all are as freaked out as I am and have been studying all day.

I cant believe how much work I have done! I think I did more work today than I did all last semester.

My teacher by the way is an ecology major and this is her first teaching job. So we will have to see how this all works out.

This morning I was freaking out because she sped through cell respiration, DNA translation and transcription, and I was so confused. After about 5 hours of studying, reading, and outlining I still dont know waht those things mean but I know alot of other things. If you know please explain tehe. My book glazes over it, as did the teacher, but apparently its on the test.

Good luck everyone... Sorry for the long post. Just wanted to share my experience so you might as well.

OMG it was soooo much !!!! I had lecture in the morning and we went over a couple of things, and we will actually have a quiz tomorrow !!

Plus, the guy said his exams will be very difficult as they will be multiple choice and ALL of the answers will be right....we just have to pick the "best" one!!!!!! Thanks...

Lab was nuts, we did sooo much and because there is no class next week we have to do all the work at home....

Hey everyone I had my first day yesterday and I am glad that I was able to get the first class over with because I feel somewhat relieved. We went through notes and he gave us the reading we needed to do! We have four or five test throughout the semster and then the final! Each test covers 3 chapters which I was expecting to only have 2 test from talking to some of my friends who have alread taken Anatomy. I have my first lab tomorrow and will see how that goes. I think I was just very anxious to start school. My professor provides a great deal of resources to help us succeed in the class. He post study guides online for us along with reviews in class before each test.

I'm another taking them separately. But I've already had anatomy so I'm in physiology this time around.

First class was last Saturday. Just covered the basics of chemistry. So far so good...

YIKES!!! How is your book layed out? My book is layed out with the foundations and builds from there. I don't start till Thursday, and I hope my teacher explains things better than that. Sorry to hear about your hard day. Do you have any software or extra materials to help you grasp concepts?

Specializes in none but hope to have one soon.

My first class was today but the instructor never showed so not sure what to think! My next class in thursday evening.

Specializes in PCU Regional Heart Unit.

A funny....After the study skills course I took for A&P, she suggested we make photo copies of the various body organs, systems, etc. and pin them up around the house to become familiar with the terms. Well, I did that, my 8 year old daughter had a friend over after school yesterday, I heard them giggling in the bathroom. I forgot I had my pictures up!! They were laughing at the male (and his hose). UGH, oops.

Class starts next week for me. One more week of mindless relaxation, I dont want this week to end!

first class was a whirlwind yesterday... unfortunately it's from 6 - 10 pm (lecture then lab) so i pretty much crapped out around 7:30 becase i didn't eat dinner (won't make that mistake again). i'm hoping to sit down and make some sense of it all when i get off work this afternoon.

i did find something rather unusual about my prof for this class and am curious to hear other people's opinions on it....

he constantly mentioned god during the lecture - the miracle of life, how flawless all the systems fit together, etc. and also said in not so many word that our lives are predetermined and nothing anyone does can change the amount of time we have been given - we can only increase or decrease the quality of life we have been given.

now, i'm no atheist, but i personally feel this isn't the place for this kind of discussion. we don't attend a catholic/christian/religious school, it's just a community college. what he's saying doesn't really apply to the subject matter, and i'm afraid he may be agravating some people in the class or making them uncomfortable if they don't feel how he feels.

any got $0.02 to contribute?

all that aside - full speed ahead :bugeyes:
