A&P I Spring 2007 Semster - Welcome!

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

I will be taking A&P I next semester when I come back from Christmas break for the Spring 2007 semester. I didn't know if someone was going to start a group or not, so I thought I would create a thread to find those of us who have been "getting our feet wet" and are going to start into the fun stuff during the Spring 2007 semester. I look forward to seeing who all will be feeling my pain!

You have a right to be nervous. From what I here this course it no joke. I purchased a review book to give me a head start. Good Luck!

I definitely take my hat off to you. Im not taking any chances when it comes to A&P and Micro so Im taking those courses strictly by itself. I don't want to risk not getting into the program. I work 45 hours a week.(Mandatory) I wish I could quit my job but it pays for school. I am not lucky like others to recieve financial aid.

Yeah I think that the only way that class would work is if you took a leave of absence from work. Im a receptionist and was considering disappearing for the 6 weeks hehe and putting my whole life on hold.

Once I decided not to now its like a huge weight is off my chest teehee.

I have always thought you can do anything you put your mind to, even if its getting an A in a 6week a n p course.

Good luck everyone.

By the way

I am having a study group tonight at my place but I live in an apartment complex which kinda complicates things with parking etc

Anyone have any alternate ideas of where I can have everyone meet up?

Hi! I am also taking AP this spring. I am excited and nervous all in one. Nervous because i have took this class before and failed because i didn't study nearly enough. Excited because it's been 7 years since high school grad. and i have waited to longer to get my degree. Wish me luck and keep me in your prayers.

So how is everyone doing with their A&P I class this semester? What do you think is your grade for this class. I am hoping to get a B in this class. I already signed up for A&PII for Fall.

So far, I think I'm doing well (92 average for both lecture and lab so far) and I've also signed up for A&PII in the Fall. I did okay in the beginning with the basics, really well with the bones, but had a tougher time with the CNS/PNS. We started the eyes in lab today, which was fun. I can't wait until the semester is over!

Good luck to everyone who's made it so far!

I am almost done with A&P (1 more week) it is not difficult information there is just ALOT of information

Tips for success in A&P:

STUDY, STUDY, STUDY (Do a little each day even if its only for 20 min. you want to keep in the groove)

Stay on top of things (its easy to get off track)

Flashcards are a must

DO NOT I repeat DO NOT MISS A CLASS for it will set you behind

Ask questions (there is no such thing as a dumb question)

Join a study group (It really helps if you talk about A&P. LOL)

So far I am getting a 94%. We still have 3 more tests including the final before the 15th. Definitely the most challenging class so far. I'm taking Advanced this summer.

I just took my Lab Final and my Lecture Final for AP1. I AM DONE. I studied so much for this course. I would say of all the courses i took, and there were some tough courses, (experimental Pys, Quan Methods) i woudl say i put the most time into this class. It paid off though for me. I finished the class with around a 97%. Im just so happy i got an "A". I was told that the nursing schools really look at your Bio grades (AP 1&2, Micro, Org Bio Chem etc) so it was really important for me to get this "A"

I am taking Organic Bio Chemistry in the summer (also called College Chemistry in some schools), has anybody heard if it is more difficult than AP?
