Default Re: Not sure if nursing is for me
I've decided that I'm going to do my best to pass the class this semester, and take A&P II. However, it probably won't be at my school next semester, it'll probably be somewhere else over the summer because next semester, I'm only allowed to take A&P II with my current professor, and that is something I am absolutely not willing to do. My mom is going to try to get around that and make them let me take A&P II with the good professor, but she told me that if she can't, she understands my not being willing to take another class with my current prof, and she'll help me figure out where I can take the class over the summer, even though that means I'll have to go stay with extended family for the duration because none of the 4 colleges in the area around my house offer an equivalent course.

Something you may want to look into...my college (as I'm sure many others do) offers on-line classes that you can take from anywhere. (www.spcollege.edu is their website) For example, the A & P 2 lecture & lab that I'm taking is totally on-line...quizzes, exams, everything. We have many students from all over the country in this class. I just prefer on-line due to my schedule-I live 7 miles from the campus. Even if it required proctored exams, that is something that can be done from afar as well. Just make sure your college will accept these credits. You may pay more for it in out-of-state tuition, but it'll be worth it in the end.

Good luck!

PS - I don't recommend my professor but I know who I should have taken, so ask around or check them out at Ratemyprofessor.com.

At my school, the nursing students have no choice as to who they get. This is why I need to do something different.

My school doesn't do online courses, so that's not an option.

I realize that taking a class over the summer will cost an arm and a leg, but it's better than dealing with my current professor again. My mom said that she's more than willing to do it as long as I give A&P I my best shot which includes repeating it in the spring if necessary.

Just be sure that you can take only one part of the A&P series elsewhere. The college that I took them at only gives transfer credit if both courses were taken there.

People often take A&P elsewhere because the fail the first semester and have to repeat it the second semester making them have no choice but to take A&P II during the summer. Sometimes people even do both I and II over the summer at a college other than mine. All I need to do is find an equivalent course at another college and ask for approval to take it and get the transfer credit.
