help me decide..


I know this question has probably been asked a million times over but......... here it goes again. Physiology before Anatomy? I can't take the anatomy class that is offered at my school because of scheduling constraints but I can take Physiology.
My question is this: who has done Physiology first, and did you survive? And then did you do well in Anatomy for it?

Thanks in advance
Lindsey

Most places teach Anatomy and Physiology together, so this actually isn't that common an issue. However, if your high school bio classes were anywhere close to halfway competently taught, you should at least know the major organs in the body and generally what they do, which is enough for you to survive a Physiology class.

Hmmm...at my school they break it up into 2 semesters. You take AP1 first to learn the normal functions of the body and AP2 after to learn more intricate things and what can go wrong with the body. My professor always says you can't learn what's abnormal until you learn what's normal.

At schools that teach Anatomy separate from Physiology, it's still two classes' worth of work, they're just not co-taught.

Structures (anatomy) then functions (physiology)

I am afraid that you would set yourself up for failure by taking the classes out of sequence. Poor physiology grades have killed more than one nursing student career at my alma mater......
