Hi. I was wondering if anyone had any anatomy and physiology notes to share. This is my second time taking this class. I passed lecture but failed lab but I will accept all notes tips and advice. I really want to pass this semester.

It would benefit you more to read your book, listen in class, and take your own notes.
When did you get your nursing degree if you don't mind me asking? I would just rather take advice from millennials since they may be able to relate to me more. A&P isn't quite the same since elder nurses took A&P
I've been a nurse for seven years and I doubt it's changed much. Quit imagining that you're disadvantaged in some way and put in the work necessary to succeed.

Yikes.
She's right. You're much better off taking your own notes. You should identify why you failed it in the first place and make changes based off of that. Reading the notes of another student, with another teacher isn't going to do much for you. Teachers have different expectations, often within the same school.
Besides, my notes are literally hundreds of pages. I'm not a millennial, either - though I did just finish up A&P II with an A.
Lab is straight memorization. I suggest you take the terms you need to know and create flashcards on Quizlet and spend time every day reviewing it. Repetition is key.

Except the candid, accurate advice offered by Sour Lemon, RN.
Please help us understand why you believe notes taken by strangers on the internet would be superior to your own work, or tips and advice from anonymous posters better than those from your instructor.

Millennial here, take your OWN notes!!! Just because we are young or whatever doesn't mean that we should be spoon fed everything or not held accountable.
Honestly, your attitude is probably why you're failing. Please, please grow up!!!
I do not relate to your immaturity or lack of manners at all!

I highly recommend obtaining and using a Livescribe smart pen system. Essentially it is a pen that records the lecture and synchronizes the recording to your notebook. The notebook is a special kind of paper that allows you to access the notes at the same time as you listen to the recording. By using this system, you can insure that you don't miss anything the instructor says and you can go back and listen as well as read notes as many times as necessary. You should obtain the instructor's permission to record but there is no reason why you can't use the smart pen without making an issue of it. Check it out on livescribe dot com

Guarantee that if you pass nursing school and the boards, you'll be back here posting in three years about NETY and bullying. Ugh. Adjust your attitude, take some responsibility for yourself and your learning, and stop contributing to the already-poor public image of "millennial."

Really? How, exactly, has A&P changed over the years? Are there new organ systems we didn't learn?
In my school, A&P was the "weed them out" class. Maybe that's what's happening here. Fingers crossed.

Well, I guess the mesentery is newly classified as an organ and the appendix is now useful. Otherwise lol...
Another millennial here. I feel that even if i offered you my notes, you would find them useless because different profs highlight/ emphasize/ test on different things. Everyone I know just had to suck it up and memorize. I like flash cards and used an app like quizlet which lets you make your own cards

Millennial here as well. I just shook my head and cursed out loud when I read this. Definitely not going to get help when you talk like this. Do you think "elder nurses" know nothing in regards to A&P?! I learn WAY more from asking the more senior nurses who are passionate about their work in the field I work in. This post just bleeds ignorance and I can't stop shaking my head at you.
And also, where are you getting your nursing degree if you don't mind ME asking? Do they not a bookstore where they sell textbooks? Do they not have professors who teach in various methods and give various resources such as slideshow presentations, videos, or lectures? Do you not have classmates whom you could form a study group with? Isn't there ways that you could learn that include not asking strangers online for random A&P notes?
I am not even sorry for being so blunt. You give us "millennials" a bad rap. Looking forward to seeing all your NETY posts in a couple of years.
