A&P 1 and 2 in 8 Weeks??

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

So, in order to avoid taking the TEAS test, I decided to take all of my prereqs before starting the nursing program at my local community college. My academic advisor recommended that I take both Anatomy classes this summer. This means that each class is only 4 weeks long (aka a quarter of what you normally have for a class). My question is: has anyone done this before and what are your tips for success? This seems extremely fast-paced and any advice/tips would be helpful.

So, I just finished out A&P 1 with a 93! I start A&P 2 on Monday and I hope to get another A in that class as well. Wish me luck :)

It really depends on what kind of learner you are. I got a 4.0 in A&P, but it was a 10 week course so I didn't feel rushed or overwhelmed studying. Are you too late to take the TEAS if the classes don't go well?

OMG I made that mistake in the past by going against my counselors suggestions and listening to fellow classmates. I failed terribly, and had to retake them both separately.

I think it takes a very specific type of student to do a 5 week class. For me personally, it was perfect. I go an A in the first class and a B in the second.
