A&P 201 or 202

I took my A&P courses online. I feel like I learned very little of what I needed to succeed as a nurse. I received A's in both courses but I don't remember anything as I never had to do any memorization. I have time this summer to retake one course to get a better understanding of the material and I'm trying to decide which I should take. Any advice? I wish I could take both :(

    If I had to absolutely choose between A&P courses, I'd choose whichever covers blood and blood vessels (i.e. circulatory/cardiovascular). It seems to me that of all the systems, those will be the ones you will reference the most as a nurse (needle/IV sites, labs, etc.). Just my opinion though, heh...maybe an actual nursing student or nurse can shed some light on that?

    I agree with Herrington. Since circulating hormones are delivered via the blood, it would cover several areas directly and indirectly. BTW, I've yet to see a school that uses the same course ID, so it would be best to be more descriptive than using a course ID that may be unique to your school.

    201 covers the anatomy side. Bones, tissues and such. 202 covers organs and cardiovascular.

    I struggled more online with the 202 so I was thinking that may be important to retake. I just don't want to struggle in my program by feeling behind and trying to fully comprehend what I should have learned in my pre-reqs.

    I'm in a physiology class this semester and I absolutely love it. We have done neurons, muscle contraction, and now cardiovascular. I did A&P I and II but this class is much more interesting and I am really liking it. I would take the one that has more to do with the physiology aspect.
