I'm itching to get this out of me and think this is the best place to do it.
Why do people complain about A&P being hard. Please, read everything before you get upset. :-D I'm taking A&P right now (summer 2) and am struggling slightly to make my A, but no where do I feel this is hard. It's just a lot of material. It's a lot of memorizing and reading, and taking notes. But what I'm learning is not over my head or hard to understand.
Is this the same feeling other people have?
Granted this is A&P 1 not A&P 2. Perhaps there is a difference.
Reason behind this is because 2/3 of my class has done nothing but complain from day one about how hard the class is and how they dont understand it. I know the tests are tricky (poor wording) but, again, I dont feel they are trying to be hard and if you properly study/prepare they are not so scary. However, they continue to gripe and whine and struggle with their 60's and 70's and then in the next breath talk about wanting to be a CRNA and getting their masters. I'm all for dreaming big but if you're having a rough time understanding/passing A&P maybe you're jumping the gun talking about getting your masters & specializing.
So I turn to you, my trusty truthful companions. Is A&P difficult because of the material, or because of the amount of material? Those of you who have taken A&P, looking back, do you think you let the rumors of the class scare you? Was is as bad as you thought? Was it easier? Worse?
-- If there has already been a discussion on this forgive me and direct me to it. My search option rarely seems to get me where I want to go.
