i copied these helpful links from the last a&p ii thread. good luck everyone!!

Wow what a load of information! :)

Well I am registered for A&P2 but I will have a different teacher so I have no idea what to expect. If I have both A&P 1 and 2 then I can opt out of Anatomy for LVN school this fall which is my plan. I hear that first semester is really tough for those students who have to do it all. This way I can concentrate on the nursing courses.

[timinchrist]

Thanks for the info! Class starts May 22nd for me, 2.5 hrs a day, 3 days a week and lab only once a week. Gotta A in A & P I, hope to do the same again!:yeahthat:

[nhshywoman]

I am also taking A&P II this summer. I start May 31st, having class two times a week for 3 hours. I am not looking forward to it, but I want to get it over with now. I am on the wait list for Nursing School and still hoping to get accepted for Fall 2006. I just finished A&P I and passed with a C+. Not my usual A but I took it. I had a very hard instructor and she is teaching this summer course too. Wish me luck! I love this sight and just found it a few weeks ago. Good luck.

My class started 5/10 and is only 6 weeks so we are jumping right into everything! Kinda overwhelming but that's to be expected with a summer class. My lecture prof is the same I had for A&P 1 and I got an A, so I'm hoping to do the same. His lectures are a little hard to follow but he tests straight from the notes so there are not really any surprises. We already have our first exam on 5/17 though, it covers the sensory and endocrine systems. There are a lot of glands

My lab class isn't wasting any time either, we have a quiz on Wednesday and will start dissecting cats on Monday. Back to the books...good luck everyone!

[CTRNTOBE]

I am taking A&P II also this summer. 4 1/2 weeks, 4 nights a week for 6 hours a night. Ouch!!!!!!!!!!! But I had the teacher before and she is pretty easy going.

Good luck everyone.

[lisabeth]

I might be taking it the second summer semester, so if I do, I will join in then.

Good luck to all of you taking the class.

[JaxiaKiley]

My A&p II class starts on July 11th, and these links will be really handy :)

[emtb2rn, BSN, RN, EMT-B]

Start on Monday, 6 weeks. Yeah, the online stuff is great. I used a number of them for A&P I and they really helped.

[FaithHope&Love]

I started A&PII May 9th. It's a 6 week course, lecture 4 days a week (2hrs. each) and lab 2 days a week (2 & 1/2 hrs. each). There are 2 quizzes and an exam every week in lecture, a quiz every lab with exams every 2 weeks....no time to fall behind!

Anyone that's feeling overwhelmed, you are not alone!

But hey, the way I figure it I have 4 days down 19 to go....and no a&p 1st semester of nursing :)

Oh yeah, I'm also taking College Algebra this six weeks, yes I am insane!!

Good Luck!

[Hind12]

wow thanks for all the links. I've had 2 class's and its been full force. Gonna be another tough semester. Good Luck to all!!!

[DAMomma]

Thanks for the info! Class starts May 22nd for me, 2.5 hrs a day, 3 days a week and lab only once a week. Gotta A in A & P I, hope to do the same again!:yeahthat:

Yeah, same exact thing for me. I have class Tues, Wed, and Thurs. Wednesday will be my lab day. I am ready to knock this class out!!:monkeydance: I am excited for the week of May 22nd!
