A & P Classes for people who are nurses already?

[Plagueis]

Hello. I'm a CNA who is going to become a LPN, then an RN. I was wondering exactly how much anatomy, physiology, and microbiology you LPNs had to learn during LPN school. I have looked into some transition programs at colleges to become RNs, and they all require LPNs to take their college's A & P and micro classes before the transition to RN. I'm somewhat confused by this, since the LPNs I've talked to here (New Jersey) say that they learned quite a lot of A & P during LPN school. They didn't get a lot of micro, however. If someone is a LPN, doesn't that mean she knows quite a bit about anatomy and physiology already? I would think that these colleges wouldn't require those classes for people who are already nurses. Can any of you LPNs clear this up for me? Thanks!

The A&P I took for LPN was very basic and did not have a lab requirement.

My LVN program also had a very basic A&P course with no accompanying lab.
