Last Year of Pre-req's!!!!

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hi everyone,

So this Spring of 2013 marks my last year of pre requisites.

I had planned all my classes where my biology classes could be taken last either alone or at the very least with one other class.

I have close to a 4.0 gpa but I'm intimidated by the classes that I'm about take. I read online that it's helpful to purchase a life size skeleton to help.

Are there any other suggestions?

What should I expect?

Thx for any advice.!

Also I think I read in another thread where pre-nursing students can shadow real Nurses. Is this a fact? How can I go about doing this in Atlanta? ??

Congrats on being in your last year! 2013 will mark my last year of pre reqs as well, I'm applying for spring 2014! I got most of my easy classes out of the way early, I thought I wanted to pursue my ADN and just continue at my community college, which has a wonderful program, but I have alternately decided on the BSN route and now need to take a bunch of lower level electives with my hard science classes! I'm taking A&PI this semester (along with pre-calc, health,communication, and a writing class) and I am also wondering what the best study tools are.

I ordered the A&P coloring book, which I just received from amazon and it's pretty awesome and seems like it will help me. Also got Barrons EZ a&P and downloaded a free a&p textbook from a friend. I figured if I begin memorizing the musculoskeletal system, and I mean -memorize- it before class begins that will give me a serious leg up and knock out all the memorizing I'll have to do in the first week or so of class.

Good luck in your studies!

Im gonna research that coloring book. What's the name/author?

I recommend this to anyone who wants you to be prepared (which is a great thing!): try to get the syllabus from the teacher or another student who took the class with the same professor. That way you know what will be happening in the class.

What I did to learn the bones was took pictures during lab of the models we would be using on the tests and then I labeled them with numbers on the front and the name on the back so that way I was able to test myself on all the parts (and pictures can go anywhere)! The sciences are fun! I really enjoyed my A&P classes and micro too! You will be fine - just lots of notecards and study time!

Thank you^^^

I'm in my last year also. A&P 2, chemistry, English 112 next semester and microbiology in summer than I'm done. It's been quite a journey

I ordered a few coloring books off amazon as well, they came recommended to me by most who had gotten "A"'s in the course. I am hoping it helps! I ordered two The Anatomy Coloring Book by Kapit and the one by Kaplan.
