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! :)

How is it going online with A&P? I am curious about the labs, how is that working

I too am taking AP 1 along with Life Span Development, both classes are on-line (RODP) so I am hoping I do well and you all can help. I also work full-time, but i know I can do it

I just finished taking Life Span online! I know every teacher is different but my class was not too bad. If I can help you out with anything at all let me know!!

So far it's going great. It's a LOT of work. Since there is no real lecture time, there is no instructor to put emphasis on anything. So basically we need to know everything the handbook and lab manual (Human Anatomy and Physiology by Marieb). The labs are from the standard lab manual. We have a set of DVD's called Human Anatomy and Physiology Revealed from a university in Ohio. These DVD's have awesome step by step dissection of a human cadaver. It's really very detailed and realistic. We don't really DO labs, we read about them and use the DVD. Then we just turn in the set of questions at the end of the lab.

All things considered, I really enjoy studying on my own. I feel like I learn a lot more this way. I also enjoy not having to drive to class or having a noisy neighbor. I do spend a lot of time on this class, really about 16-20hrs/week. I also combine it with ENG101 and CHM130, also online.

Good luck everyone!

So this is kind of random but what do you guys think about combining A&P and Chem classes together in the same semester? I'm considering it, but it scares me to death. I tried to do this exact same thing a few years back but I freaked out and withdrew from everything:(. Now I'm older and better able to handle the stress and the work...but I don't want to screw myself over again. I have a lot of respect and admiration for everyone on here who works so hard, so what do y'all think? Should I go for it or break it up and do one science at a time? I'm sticking with A&P I this spring no matter what, by the way :).

Hey guys,

I am also taking Anatomy and physiology I in this spring. Can you guide me which books or study material is commonly used for this class?

Thanks!

Katie,

I'm combining A&PI, Chemistry, and English. I also work part-time. So far, I have A's in everything. It's all about planning and time management. :) I'm sure that if you put your mind to it, that you can do it! Good luck!

I took Fundamentals of Chemistry and A&P I this semester, and I have As in both of them, going into the finals today. And next semester, I'm doing Chem I and A&P II. It's very doable, but I put many, many, MANY hours of studying in. In Chem, you need to do all the assigned problems. In A&P, you need to spend a lot of time memorizing. If you work and/or have young children, you *might* begin to feel very stressed around mid-term time!

Ok, I think I'm going to try it. Depends on if I can register for the class during late registration. Thanks ya'll!

Hey gang,

I have offered my notes to anyone interested in them and many of you have. I have actually gotten so many that I have decided to post them here for anyone to use. I am putting my AP I notes here and AP II notes will be posted on the AP II sticky. I hope that they help you with your classes. Good luck to you all.

thanks nurz2be,

when class starts in jan, I'm sure the notes will help alot, because A&P 1 is very challenging

This is going to be such a great help nurz2be. I always feel much better and really motivated when I have a leg up on what to expect. And since A&P1 is going to be my first class towards my RN, I'm really excited to get started!

Lol, WOW, up to 9 pages already and classes for spring are roughly a month away. When I first clicked on this thread I thought it was the sticky for the Fall 2007 term. Good Luck everyone. It's not as bad as it seems. Like most people say, the hardest part is the amount of information in the amount of time given. Study, study, study. Oh,.. and remember that this is the basics you will be building upon, so get what you can

down-pat.
