Should I take Cell Bio again before going into A & P 1?


So I recently changed my major to nursing. I took a class called "BI 112 - Cell Biology for Health Occupations" at my community college last Winter, and got a B. That class is the pre-requisite to A & P 1, but honestly I don't know if I really took in ANY of the material. I want to take A & P soon, but should I take this class again to really get down the material well? My girlfriend (who has taken A & P already) and her mother (an RN/Nurse Manager) both think I shouldn't, but will I be at a big disadvantage if I don't remember anything from Cell Bio when I jump into A & P 1?

Thanks for your advice in advance!

I don't think you need to retake the class. You shouldn't be at a disadvantage either.

I took biology over 10 years ago and only vaguely remember some of the information. I'm in A&P I right now and am making As. At the beginning of the semester, we did a broad overview of cell biology..what they're made of, how they reproduce, make/use energy and that sort of thing. After that though, we haven't really looked back.

I think you'll be just fine, so..jump in!

No, don't take it again.

I made As in all A&P classes and I'd done biology 12 yrs prior.
