Anatomy & Physiology again?

[Krither]

I was wondering, I am currently in A&P I and I seem to be doing alright, but I noticed that when I first entered the classroom for the first week I felt as if it wasn't how I pictured the class would be.

There are three A&P professors at my university and there's one that everyone says to take if you are a nursing major because they say you definitely will be ready for clinicals.

I've simply heard that this prof. goes ino great detail and pushes his students and that one will learn a lot in his class.

I haven't heard anything like tha about the professor I have now. I'm wondering if I should start over with the other prof. instead of continuin with my current one. I don't want to get to clinicals and find out that I'm not ready.

Upperclassmen who have friends in the nursing school say that A&P is used hands on so you need a good background.

I don't know what to do. Should I spend another semester to take over A&P I or should I carry on with the prof. I have?

I agree that a good foundation is important but really don't think that it is so crucial that only 1 professor out of 3 would be qualified to teach A&P so that you can pass nursing school. Just my two cents of course and my A&P1 was 20 years old by the time I decided to go into nursing. Best of luck with whatever you decide. Jules

I wouldn't retake it. I would simply keep your textbooks, notes, etc. and be able to refer to them once you get to clinicals. Maybe if this prof teaches A&P II you can try to get him/her then. But so much of it boils down to your own ability to find the information you need and use it.

Thank you guys, I appreciate the input. I believe I will just carry on and if I can get the other Professor for A&P II then that'll be great. If I can't then I'll be fine too.

Thanks so much!

If anyone else wants to give any more advice, it is sure welcome!
