A&P 1 Spring 2010

Hi, my name is Rimzy. (*it is a short form...if i told you the full name you might bite your tongue trying to pronounce it) :).

a. 17 credits

b. I am looking forward to A&P 1 i hear the instructor in my university rocks so..no worries for now.

c. I will be applying for the spring 2011 semester, deadline is september 15.

d. I am completely OCD with time, dates, deadlines....i arrive at school an hour early...and i will submit my application for nursing school in June.

My name is Mia, I would like to join this forum, although I just completed A&P 1. I will be taking A&P 2 for Spring 2010. I only have 10 credits and I have a long ways to go on prerequisites because I attend school part-time. I actually took A&P 1 online and I loved it. I enjoyed the labs even more. I probably won't be ready to apply to my school's nursing program until the fall of 2011. I began my dosage calculations class next week (it lasts a month). I'm willing to help out with any discussions regarding A&P 1, I made an "A".

Hi, y'all.

My name is Kelli and...

A. I will be taking 10 credits during the spring semester--in addition to A&P1, I will be taking CHM1020, and Nutrition.

B. I'm looking forward to gaining a better understanding of how the human body actually works.

C. I will be applying to start the RN program at my local CC in January 2011--application deadline is October 3rd.

D. In addition to going to school, I am a SAHM to a 3 year-old, and a 19 month-old. Also, I will be taking the NLN PAX-RN in March.

Hi!

My name's Allie (it's short for Alexandria) and...

1)I'm taking 10 credits. In addition to A&P1 I'm taking Nutrition and Dev Psych.

2)I'm actually really excited about the class. I'm a little nervous but I've already started studying with flash cards.

3)I'll be done with my pre-reqs by the end of the summer and so I'll apply in August. I'm so excited!!!

4)Random thing....I was in school for Restaurant Management before this but then I changed my mind.

Hi All,

I'm Jeff. 45yo returning student after 20 years in restaurant biz. Took prenursing just out of HS so I have to repeat all my sciences.

a. Only taking A/P1, because I'm still a nonresident and it will cost 3x as much!

b. I'm looking forward to getting started! I remember from AP in 1984 that it was interesting, like a puzzle! We had cadavers, so that kinda weirded me out the first week. Then, I got over it.

c. I should be able to apply for the Spring 2011 semester.

my screenname refers to growing up on a farm in Indiana (although I moved there in my teens and we didn't really farm. We were just located waaay out in the boonies!); then moving to San Diego where I lived for 20 years; then moving to NYC for 2 years. Now I live in Florida (Brevard Co.) with family after being laid off in March 09.

I will be attending pre-nursing at Brevard CC and hopefully transferring to Valencia CC for Nursing.

Question for you all: The reason I'm going to commute to Valencia is to attend an accredited RN program vs. a non-accredited. I can't really seem to get a clear answer about how important it is. I've heard that some scholarships require it, some hospitals don't like hiring from non-accred. schools, and some schools don't fully recognize the classes you take if you decide to go further for a BSN. What have you guys heard about accredited/non- schools?

I look forward to going through AP1 with you all!!

Hi!

My name is Kim. Nursing will be my first degree.

1) Taking 10 Credits. A&P + Intro to Psych.

2) Honestly I'm looking foward to the challenge. I think cadavers would be cool. Although, not sure my class will be doing that..

3) Applying Jan 2011

4) Random thing? Raised in a small Alaskan town.

Good Luck Everyone! : )

Hey, everyone! My name is Sharon and I am taking A&P I at Trocaire College in Buffalo, NY in Spring 2010. I am 36 and had a major life epiphany last year to totally switch career gears! My hubby and I relocated to Buffalo from New Jersey this past Summer so we are TRULY starting over! I already have a B.A in Psychology from back in the day so I may be lookig into psychiatric nursing in the future. I am NERVOUS! I love researching medical facts and my friends always tease me because I am always offering up medical advice & pseudo diagnosing their various illnesses! ( I am often right, btw..lol!), but the thought of going back to school at my age is a wee bit scary! Anyhow, I am glad to meet you all and you can best believe that I will be on here LOTS during the semester!

Hiya, Jeff! Well, from what I hear you really need to go to an accredited school. It seems that you have a good potential to run into issue if the school isn't accredited. I took A&P I online last year at a school that wound up not being accredited and I can't even use it at my new school! That really sucks especially since I got an A-!!!

Good Luck to you! = )

Hey, I'm Lindsey. January 2010 is going to be my first semester, and I'm taking 12 credits. I have Anatomy lectures on Mondays and Wednesdays, and then after the lecture of Wednesday, I have a lab.

I am a little nervous about doing well, and about if I'm smart enough...but I know I am, there are just a few butterflies in my stomach.

Hmm, something random about me...I have tattoos (which I can hide If I want to) I speak Spanish pretty well, and I love cooking and eating exotic foods!
