A&P 1 Spring 08

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hi y'all! Anybody taking A&P 1 this coming spring semester? I'm trying to get as many pre-req's out of the way as possible and could use a study buddy or 2! Thanks! :)

Hey guys I'm taking A&P I right now for Fall '08. I'm so nervous! I need to get a tape recorder and flash cards asap. This is probably a stupid question but did you guys read all of the assigned reading? I'm so scared about that. I looked at it and it seems like it is a foreign language.

Yep. And you can start making some flashcards with all those big, bold words. :) Relax and take it one chapter at a time. As long as you stay on top of things, it will all come together for you, you'll see.

Don't waste your money on a tape recorder, get a digital voice recorder. Microcassettes have to be flipped over, which can disrupt the class, and you can only record a short amount at a time before it fills up. Go to Best Buy or Office Max (or similar) and buy one of these new tape-less wonders. I bought a Sony IC Recorder, it records up to 260 hours continuously with NO TAPE, and it's totally silent, so the instructor won't frown at you for unnecessary noise.

As a bonus, I can hook it up to my laptop and upload all of my lectures right to the hard drive and save them as voice files. It comes with voice editor software, so I can edit out the sidebar conversations (and keep only the pertinent lecture material) and even burn them to a CD or IPOD/MP3 if I want. Also, if I had the right version of the voice recognition software, it would even automatically transcribe the lecture recordings into written notes! This thing is AMAZING!!! I can record an entire quarter's worth of lectures before the thing fills up.

I plan on using this little gizmo a LOT.

I also purchased a digital recorder, and it has really helped out. I hook it up to my PC and go over my notes for the day while listening to the lecture to make sure I did not miss any important information. My note taking is still in progress. It also helps by not interrupting class, just to ask for info to be repeated. I highly recommend a digital recorder.

Can anyone recommend a good website where I can practice seeing the bones in the body, skull, and muscles? I have an exam in 2 weeks.

Thanks!

Here's a site so you can see the bones:

This site is still under construction, but it has good stuff already:

Good luck! I'm sure other people have suggestions for you.

Here's a link to the textbook I had. It's by chapter, and I don't remember which chapters were the bones, but it had labeling exercises that helped me a lot.

I think I am going today to buy a voice recorder. Walmart has one that records up to 6 hours I believe for $30-40. Our teacher provides podcasts but it would be nice to have it with me whenever.
