Anatomy & Physiology I

[QUEBEBRAN]

I am currently taking Anatomy and Physiology I both lecture and lab. These classes are kicking my ass real hard. This is seriously not like high school I've come to understand. You REALLY have to study. I have a 64 and a 68 in lab. I feel that I am studying as much as I can, after all its hard when you have to work 6 days a week. When you come home from work you don't exactly care to go straight to the books. This is so depressing I don't know what to do anymore. Actually this class I'm taking is the Biology for RNs. I don't have to take this one because I am going for LPN. Should I stay in this class anyway even if I fail it and next semester just go the safe route and take the Biology for LPNs? Or should I drop this class with a "W"? I don't know what to do. Please help me, any advice is appreciated.

If you can withdraw then you should. You're not doing well and you don't have the capacity to make up what you've missed since you're working so hard.

Protect your GPA and transcript - get out while you can.

If there is no way that you could bring the grade up before the end of semester I would definitely drop it.

I know exactly how you are feeling! I took A&P I a few semesters back and withdrew. I sat in class one day and thought to myself, "I am too damn stupid to even as a question in this class!" then dropped it as soon as class was over. I had no idea what the other students were even talking about. But I was working and taking 5 other classes that semester. I am taking it in the summer and have decided that I AM NOT going to let that class stop me! I will be in the LPN program but can merge with the RN program after my first year if I have the A&P I, A&P II and Micro.

If you are overwhelmed and doing bad, withdraw and try it again later when you know that you will have enough time to study. There is no shame in withdrawing......
