A & P

Published

I just got accepted into nursing school. I took a and p last semester cause i knew it was a requirement and i made a D in the class. I am worried that i wont be able to make at least a 75% this time around which i need to stay in the program. Does anyone know of a website or a place that i could get practice worksheets before so i can learn some of the material before hand. Any suggestion? Thanks.

Forget the website. If you want to earn an acceptable grade you need to hit the books hard. There is not a replacement for brute force studying. For starters triple your study time with a minimum of 4 hours per day. You are right to be worried as you took the class prior and did not successfully navigate the material. You should have already "learned some of the material" as you took the class before. Usually AP is a pre req to nursing school so I am surprised you are already accepted. Also a D would normally qualify you as a non-hacker and you would be kicked out. Good luck.

Somewhere hundreds of pre nursing students are frantically searching for the nursing school you got into. But seriously, don't come into a class trying to get the minimum. 75% won't cut it in nursjng school

If you must know school comes harder for me cause I have a disability. I tried as hard as could last semester for that D. I am shooting for an A. You don't think that I know that I am lucky to of got in? I do know that because I barely got in. So if you don't have anything nice or helpful to say please stay of this question.

What do you want me to say? Everyone in this day and age is dealing with some sort of grave matter with the circumstances worsening from one person to the next. Whether or not you make the grade is up to you. If you can honestly say using your toughest effort, an honest 100% effort, granted you a D in A&P what's to say you'll show improvement in nursing school? The classes only get tougher and these are classes where you have to apply everything you've learned in the prior and concurrent classes. A&P is literally all memorization, nursing school is about applying the information. Excuse me for scolding you on wanting the bare minimum but what I said still stands, if all you want is a 75% you literally will not make it through an actual nursing class considering a standard PASSING grade is an 80 in any nursing class. What many seem to forget is that these aren't classes to take lightly, these classes are preparing you to take care of real life people in real life situations. I sure wouldn't want someone giving my loved one a 75% effort

Oh and don't forget about the students with near 4.0s who didn't get into the programs of their choice because of how compettitive they are. They would kill for the chance to be in your shoes.

Go to Khan Academy and it will have A&P on there, as well as other classes you might need. It really explains it thoroughly and you will end up understanding it better.
