stellakc 58 Posts May 8, 2013 Finals this and next week, just took my final lab practical for A&P1, hoping to get an A. Pulling for an A- in lecture.
Nurse2B2016 474 Posts May 8, 2013 A&P 1 was B- and A&P 2 was A-. This was last year.Would you say a&p 2 was a bit easier than 1? That's what I've been hearing.

As opposed to the foot bone is connect to the knee bone (anatomy). I had to retake these course after taking an unexpected 5 year break because of relocation and babies, so I've experienced this at two different schools, community college level and state university level.

nursingstudentjess 217 Posts May 8, 2013 @atlback2rn I thought A&P 2 was more challenging, more body processes and concepts to understand. But I also took it during a winter semester which was 8 wks and 14 hrs each week. It was a lot to fit into a small period if time, but manageable.

Nurse2B2016 474 Posts May 10, 2013 Thanks for the input everyone. Going to enjoy this break before tackling A&P 2. Guess it all depends on the instructor and person. Its undoubtedly lot of info to retain no matter how you look at it.
Axm611291 64 Posts May 10, 2013 Finishing up anatomy next week! Hoping to keep a B! lab has been the hardest for me! Have a hard time coming up with the names without looking at them! Lecture is my favorite and have done well so far will be takin physiology in the summer!! (My school doesn't have them merged into a&p)
