hello,

1st time posting (newbie) so bear with me.. :icon_roll

a. how many credits you are taking next semester? 7-a&p and sociology

b. what part of a&p 1 you are looking forward to, are you nervous? honestly i'm nervous about a few things. got a "d" in a&p years ago when i 1st took it because i didn't apply myself (never studied and never asked for help), so i hope i can do well this time around. i heard mixed reviews about the professor i'm taking the course with-some say she's too easy and you won't learn what you need to do well in a&p 2 whereas others think she's fantastic. i'm looking forward to learning as much as i can because i'm enjoying college the 2nd time around!

c. how long you have to apply? i anticipate completeing my pre-reqs in time to apply for the fall 2011 semester nursing program (hopefully)

d. some random thing about you? brief intro- 4 year university drop-out (had no major, racked up 83 now worthless credits) starting from scratch at a 2 yr community coll. after a hiatus (out working in the real world)-fall 09 was my 1st semster back.

Hi :) I'm Mabel

a. I'm taking 14 credits ( 4 classes and two labs)

b. I'm really excited about the class, and the lab! I'm a bit nervous, but I know I can do it.

d. Random thing? My passion is film.

Hello, I'm Cassie (not the most original username)

a. I am taking only A&P 1 and Nutrition this semester. Nice and light while I work full-time - got to keep those grades up first and foremost!

b. At the moment, I'm looking forward to all of A&P. In high school I was jealous of my out-of-state friends who had A&P offered at their school. I got ole Biology.

c. Hopefully I will be starting nursing school in Spring '11. I am already registered for entrance exams.

d. Random thing: my dog rules my life! I see myself staying late at work to study in peace without having toes licked and toys dropped in my lap every 5 seconds. :chair:

Hi Mabel,

How was your first day of classes and what are the other classes you're taking? I can not image two labs in one semester - you go girl! My classes don't start until the end of this month; although a little nervous, I can't wait to start.

Good luck!

Kena

a. 9 credits... Math, A&P, Medical Terminology

b. I'm not nervous... I'm just looking forward to learning about our bodies

c. Hopefully I can apply for Fall '10, but it depends on whether I can get the classes I need for summer... and If I can afford it since fin. aid doesn't apply and our summer credits are so pricey.

d. I've always wanted to be a nurse... but for the past 10 years that I've been out of high school, I've done nothing about it. I'm a Realtor, I have a business background... I'm a SAHM to a 10yr old, 5yr old, and an 11mo. old... and I'm finally on my path to becoming a nurse.

I am taking 12 credits: A&P I , Nutrition, Comp II, and General Psych

I am a little nervous but at the same time excited. My A&P prof came highly recommended
