Dumb question....ADN program

[rlaurengirl22]

Hey guys,

I am looking online tonight at a couple of community colleges in my area. I am an LPN and want to get my RN badly. But I've noticed that the requirements are that I would of had A & P I-II, Nutrition and Human Growth and Development within the last 5 years. I graduated LPN school in 2000 and had taken these classes. Does that mean that I won't get credit for them and have to retake all of them again? Any help would be wonderful!

Thanks

I don't think the classes are supposedly easier. Here, the LPN diploma A&P just doesn't have a lab versus college level A&P which does.

I am one of the people who took 'diploma level' A&P at a private vocational school while attending an LVN program. I am concurrently enrolled in both college level A&P I and A&P II with labs, both in this same semester. In my opinion, the college level A&P is much easier than the diploma-level A&P because I have more time to study between tests. In LVN school I was expected to take a quiz every few days and a major test every week. With this college-level A&P, I now have 2-4 weeks notice of any major tests, which amounts to ample studying time.
