Anatomy and Physiology

Hey everyone, I will be applying to the 2nd degree nursing program at my local university. They require that all the course be completed before applying, I have to take A&P 1 and two plus nutrition and life span. Since I basically have just the spring semester to complete everything so that I can be admitted for fall, I have to figure out how to take both and A&P 1 AND 2 by the end of spring. Does any one know of any online course that I can take that possibly split of these two courses over 1 semester. Where I could take and AP 1 in the first part and then AP 2 in the second part. Thank you all so much!!!

To the extent of my knowledge, I do not believe that any University or Community college splits A&P 1 and A&P 2 into one semester. The amount of information you learn is incredibly large and I would find it almost impossible for that to be done all in 16 weeks. For example: anatomical places, body cavities, body regions, axial skeleton, appendicular skeleton (lower and upper extremities) cellular level, tissues level, organ level & organ system level directional terms plus the systems is everything I learned in A&P 1 and then some. Your best bet would be to see if your local University offers summer classes, which most do, and to see if they offer a&p 2 in the summer so you can have both done before the fall! Good luck!

There are schools that offer accelerated A&P1 and 2 in a single semester by it's not common practice. It is already a packed course with lab. If you find one that your nursing program will accept, be ready to work.

I learn something new everyday! ^ I didn't know that, but I can't image doing both in one semester! Good luck again ☺️

Can you take A&P 2 over the summer? I took micro over the summer, and it was fast but good.

perhaps you can take spring semester courses and also during summer session. That's too much to cram into spring alone.

Thank you guys so much for taking the time to help me out. After 4 hours of non stop online research, I came across Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, they offer a 4 credit course for each AP course. They give you the option of taking the the traditional 16 week course or you can cram it into 8 weeks which would allow you to take AP 2 in the second half of the semester. Cost per credit our is $115 plus a $900 fee for out of state. So I think this is a great option if you need to get your prereqs done asap.

My school packs A&P into one semester.... 3 credit hour lecture and 3 credit hour lab. It's a nightmare

Hey npwatson!

I'm glad you found your solution. I was going to ask if there was a winter session course for your university but online is a great idea!
