*** A&P II Winter 2006 Club ***

[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.

Am I the only one that is taking all of my classes including A&PI (this sem- along w/ world mythology, psychology, and communications) and A&PII (spring 06-w/ sociology, spanish, literature, and med termin) online?

:uhoh21:

:uhoh21: :uhoh21:

>>>>>>I feel so alone in the world!!!

This is the way my A&PI works: I have an A&P book, we take a test-with trick questions- about every 3 weeks (open book of course), we had a 2" lab book with 10 case studies and 5 reports (plus labs we had to do on our own for each unit) to turn in last week, and we'll have a final next week in the testing center.... no open book for that one. It is like pulling teeth to get a reply from an instructor so there is very little contact. I've waded through 16 chapters of this book alone. It has been murder. I am wishing for a lecture at this point. It is really hard to retain the info just by going over it by yourself. And I have the same instructor for my A&PII class next semester.

Yet I continue to take all my classes online. Am I a glutton for punishment or what.....

I actually have to-I have 3 kids and 2 step kids so I have to stay home and take care of them.

I was just wondering if anybody else is walking this lonely path with me?

[Julie64]

I'm also taking AP2 in January. We have our last lab practical for A&P I on Tues and then our final on Wed. It's gone so fast!

[VeryPlainJane]

I used to live in Huntersville...even went to North Meck...hello neighbor! Welcome to the block!

[kayel]

Yippeee!! The club is growing!!! I am kind of looking forward to the winter term .. well .. actually right now I'm just looking forward to finishing the exam in A&PI!!

[TRINI_RN]

Hello, Hello, Hello

Great to see people on this thread. I am so excited to get started on AP II, mostly because I'm soooooo over AP I. LOL

Good luck to everyone, and I look forward to whining, *ahem* chatting with all of you! :p

[JasmineTea]

Count me in! We finish up A&P 1 next week and start A&P II around Jan 9. I will have the same teacher, which is awesome because she's excellent. The 4 gals in my study group will also be in the same class with me. What's really neat is that this prof teaches only 1 A&PII night class, so Lab and Lecture will be all on Thursday night, and this coming term she's going to institute a "Run and Review" before class. (She's a marathon runner) So each Thursday, for 1 hour before class, she's going to meet us at the inside track and review class topics as we fast-walk together. (We begged off running!) How cool is that? GOod for our bodies *and* our brains!

[Carebear77]

I'm here.

I'm finishing A&P 1 wednesday and A&P 2 will start Jan. 9 jsut subbing to this thread.

[dorselm]

Hello All,

I am also finishing up special senses in A & P I. I start A&P II January 9th! I currently have a B in A & P (can't get an A to save my life!) but I love this stuff! I am currently an accountant (I suck at it unfortunately). I believe that nursing is my calling. After taking A & P I, I think I'm ready for A & P II. It's hard to study, go to school and raise 4 teens 12-17. I do realize that I have to be more focused for next class. I have A & P I on Saturday from 9-2 at CCAC. I thank Jesus that I don't have the instructor that is teaching the class this semester! I hope I have the same instructor for A&PII that I have for A&P I. He is an excellent instructor and he makes the class so interesting.

Good Luck to all next semester and I will be checking this thread for updates!

[casi, ASN, RN]

I take my final in A&P I on the endocrine system and blood on Monday, and then it's off to A&PII I go. I'm a bit nervous though, due to scheduling concerns I have to switch teachers.

[TRINI_RN]

WooooHoooo! Finals are over, AP II here I come!

[surfer betty crocker]

same here! :balloons:

[ChristineN, BSN, RN]

I'm taking A&P II over winter quarter, starting Jan 3. I'm excited because I really liked my lab instructor and for A&P II I get him for lecture and lab. He made things so easy to understand, was very clear about what we needed to study for the exams.
