A&P I, Micro and Nutrition

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

I need some advice and encouragement for the fall semester, I'm a pre nursing student at the University of New Mexico I'm currently registered for human nutrition and a language class at the university and both A&P and microbiology at a local community college. What are the difficulties of each subject. I'm planning on applying for the BSN program next summer so that would be 2 science classes every semester. Thank you so much people :)

A&P 1 requires alot of studying. I studied each night a week before the scheduled test. We went over the nervous system, muscular system, skeletal system, & the basics of A&P! The muscular system was the hardest to me. I haven't taken Micro or Nutrition yet!

I crammed in all my science classes and always took 2 at a time. I did great because I was able to dedicate a lot of study time. I took A&P 1, Chem 1, Nutrition, and child psychology. Being really organized as far as study dates and planning out my study time helped me be successful.

Thanks! That really helps and i was planning out my schedule. So i would have Developmental Psych, Pathophysiology, A&P II and a language course for the spring and the summer i would take Pharmacology and Pathophysiology II. A lot of prerequisites .. i know it's lame.

Any study skills for A&P I?

A&P and micro are both very intense classes - lots of study time required for both lecture and labs for both of these. I did micro in my spring term and easily spent 20+ hours a week for that class alone. I will be doing A&P in the fall term and I am sure it will be equally as much study time. I am taking nutrition on line this summer and love that class. Has so much great information in it and I find my self reading extra stuff all the time.... Foreign language is at lot of memorization too - what language are you studying?

The only thing with a&p would be to stay ahead of the game. It is important to study the materials as they are given so there isn't a panic and cram session at test time, especially if you are taking other sciences. Micro requires a lot of studying as well.

@dkmamato3 thanks! but i think the labs will be really helpful since well i'm hoping they are concurrent with the topics in lecture .. unlike my chemistry lab this summer, everything is out of whack it sucks! I'm actually majoring in Navajo at the University of NM so i'm in a 300 level language (which is my own language, and my dad is a fluent speaker, so i don't think i'll have too much of a problem with that class) and about nutrition, what is covered? i'm curious, like no one ever talks about it.

@Nursingcrowley i bet they do both require lot of studying, but i'm currently a full-time student with no job, been searching for one though. So i think i can manage and i am making my goal for the fall to get a 4.0 GPA :D
