[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.

That ADAM program sounds awesome!!

Hey I have GREAT news too!! I thought my grade was too low in A & P once I sat down and looked grading techniques over and I saw an error that was made by the professor. My grade was etered as a B but I thought it should at least be a B= so I emailed her on Dec 21 very late. Well she just got back from her winter break today and I got an email from her!

She did indeed make an addition error and my actual grade is an A! Great news to me since this is what is used in determining entrance into the nursing program this fall!

We have to apply to the Program this month and I am certain I will be accepted and am so excited right now! All this hard work is starting to pay off! Going back to college has to be the best choice I have ever made!

We used the ADAM software in my A&PI and I loved it. It explains things really well and has great animated diagrams.

[kukukajoo, LPN]

Do you know if any version of this software would be available to the consumer to purchase?

[TerreP]

A couple of the nurses I work with had a great suggestion that I thought I would share. They suggested getting a digital voice recorder to record all the lectures. I found one on eBay for $40, and it downloads to your PC, so you can save the lectures and listen to them again to review for tests and the final. Sounded like a great idea to me, because sometimes you miss something, or can't take notes fast enough. Anyway, just an idea that I'm gonna try!!

I don't know that, but if it is, it will be pricy. My teacher said it costs around $500.

[kukukajoo, LPN]

wow!! It's at adam.com and retails for 695.00 I think I will go without!

Hi all I am new to the board but I am a pre-nursing student and will be taking APII starting January 17th. I am so excited, but a little nervous about the practicals this semester. I wish everyone the best of luck this semester.

Hiya!! Wishing you the best also! Great to have you here!

[kayel]

Yes, A.D.A.M. is, I guess you would call it, a multi-media company.

That sounds quite cool!! It would be a great learning tool. I am also interested in hearing how people enjoy using it!!

[kayel]
