Well I just recieved awful news today! I had taken Anatomy (one semester of Anatomy and one semester of Physiology was equivalent to A&P 1 and 2) at a previous university and since it was just anatomy not part physiology I now have to retake the whole thing. I start nursing school in the fall so I was thinking maybe I should just take A&P online? Since I have already had it before what do you think I should do? I am really stressing on which to pick..

I know this is an old post but may i ask where you took you A&P online?

I took it online. It was fine. I taught myself. It's up to you what you retain.

I would not recommend taking A&P online. Yes, it helps that you've previously taken it. However, this is a challenging course, and it's setting you up for your future nursing career. You want to make sure you receive a comprehensive, valuable education. Although online classes may sound nice and convenient, it is often missed how much work these classes actually entail. There is usually a large amount of writing associated with each class each week. If you go the online route, I would recommend going into it with a firm study plan in place, otherwise, it can be too easy to not invest the same time you would if you were physically going to the class. A benefit to in-person classes is also that if you do not understand something, you can immediately collaborate with others, ask questions, and gather a deeper understanding of the material.
