Is anyone else in the same boat as me?

I'm taking A&P I this spring, but I also just got accepted to the nursing program so I'll be taking that along with Nursing Process I. They are co-reqs at my school but I think most people take A&P before they start the nursing classes :chair:

Now that the shock is wearing off, I'm wondering what I've gotten myself into....

Oh yeah, and I also have to take nutrition as an intersession course, it's only 2 weeks long. That's going to be fun...did I mention I have 2 toddlers?! :uhoh3:

I'm considering going to school for nursing and I have a 3 & 6 yr old. My 3 yr old stays home with me, but I was wondering how you're doing with juggling school, studing, and being a mommy? How do you find the time to study??

Good luck!

I'm simply taking intro to A&P but I took A&P right up until the last date to drop the class with a grade of "W." I remember the lab practical where we had to identify 30 some-odd tissues under a microscope.

My best advice is to keep the flash cards coming...it's the only way I'm surviving. Try to study characteristics like simple is one layer, stratified is many layers, ciliated has cilia on the apical surface...etc. If you know the characteristics, you should be fine.

Eh. I hope that helps. Let us know how it goes.

Today, we are studying the peripheral and central nervous system...yay. We covered it for three hours on Thursday and I took 9 pages of notes. We're still not even half way done with studying the nervous system.

Hello,

I considering taking up nursing and researching everyones messages about school and I was wondering if it would be okay if a person records the lectures in class? 9 pages of notes. WOW! I'm terrible at taking notes and think recording would be most helpful.

I am 34, have a 3 and 7 year old (3 year old stays home with me), and I work on the weekends. I have been taking my pre- and co-reqs. for nursing school for a year now and will be applying for nursing school this spring. It can be done. I do use a recorder for classes such as A&P and probably will for Micro this spring. I just take 2 classes a semester because I think that more than that would be too much. I think that you should definently go for it! Especially if you have a good support group at home.

Let me know what you finally decide!

You've definitely got to ask the professor's permission to record. If they say OK, and you think it would help you retain the material, go for it!

Specializes in LTC.

Ohh I wanna join! My name is CJ, Im 23 and a full time pre nursing student. Im scheduled to take A&P1 this spring. I have been scouring the web sites to help me brush up on the systems, does anyone have any to share? I figure if Im just sitting here bored during the break I might as well get a head start! Has anyone used the A&P or Chemistry for Dummies books? Im thinking about buying them..

What other classes are you guys taking? Im taking Chemistry, Developmental Psych and Western Civ 2. Has anyone ever taken two heavy sciences with labs in the same semester? Im a stay at home mom so I dont have a job to worry about, but Im still nervous that its going to be too much.

Heres to hoping for a great spring semester!

I'm so excited to find a forum where everyone is in the same boat!!

I'm registered for A&P 1 and Drug admin for the health professional, I'll start Jan. 12th! I'm so nervous!

It'll be nice to talk back and forth with those who "understand!"

Has anyone taken the summer A&P 1 course, its very short, 4 weeks is all. Mon-thurs all day 8-2 including the labs. It sounds like a great way to get this class done over the summer but I am a little concerned about that much info in such a short amount of time. Anyone gone through this course and done well?
