[kayel]

well, it's about time to start this thread, i think!! let's get our bearings and see who all is in the same boat in january!

i finish up the first half of a&p with a comprehensive exam on december 13th and then it's right into the physiology portion of the course. we actually are starting special senses this week and next but will only get the first chapter done.

so .... who else is in? when did you take a&p i and how is your course set up? do you have the prof you want and are you looking forward to it?

i will include the sites from the a&p i thread that might be helpful! i will add/subtract as i get a chance to look through them a bit more or if anyone else suggests some good sites.

[kukukajoo, LPN]

Good luck to everyone still waiting to take finals! I was lucky and had mone last night! It was easy and I am sure I got an A. Have to wait a couple days to see my grade online, though.

I have some stuff to finish up in a pc class then I am finished for the summer and VERY HAPPY!

[NaomieRN]

I took my final last night. It seemed like the nclex exam, so many patients scerarios with fluid & electolytes, kidneys, diabetes and digestion. I had 66 multiple choice, 30-point essay, and a enzymes chart to fill out. I also had to map-out the tongue, sweet, sour, salt and bitter. I was in there for 2 hours taking the test. I have to wait for 5 days to know what I got. Hopefully I did good.

My last final is tonight, lifespan. That is going to be a cake walk.

[TRINI_RN]

I took my final this morning. IT WAS HARD:trout: :trout: . I only need around a 70 to maintain an A, so lets hope I didn't screw up too bad. Anyway, that's it for me, everything is done............NS school here I come!!!!. Good luck to those still studying:caduceus: :monkeydance:

[casi, ASN, RN]

I took the final tonight. I'm OVERJOYED that it's over. I need 70% for a B, but if I get a C in the course I'll be more than happy.

[NaomieRN]

I got a B+ for my final grade. I was hoping for an A, but the final was so challenging, I was just one of a few who passed. I am happy with my grade. I am not going to beat myself up. I am focusing on Microbiology now.

[Nurse-To-Be-Joy]

My teacher knew I was anxious to get my test grade for tonight, so he put the scantrons through the scanner before I left. I ended up getting a 96% for the urinary and the reproductive systems, so I'm really happy. Now I just got my final next Thursday and I'm done!

[SummerGarden, BSN, MSN, RN]

WOOHOO!! Done with my Final in A&P II!!!! I do not know what my grade is but I am happy I am DONE!

[nursinguy]

woohoo!! done with my final in a&p ii!!!! i do not know what my grade is but i am happy i am done!

-100 pre-nursing students will be "re-evaluated".....

-30 available spots for spring 2007....

only 100? wow my local college it's 800 and 30 spots.

[SummerGarden, BSN, MSN, RN]

Hi, Nursinguy. I sent you a PM so I would not be off topic. Take care.

[kayel]

So anyone left in this thread? I hope everyone had a great semester! Can we close this if no one is left? It's been great talking with everyone! Hope to see you in other threads!!!
