Failing Anatomy!

Published

I am currently in my first semester of Practical Nursing and am failing Anatomy class! I am worried they will let me go if I for sure fail this class. I am so discouraged, I worked so hard to get into this program but this anatomy is killing me! I am doing well on all the other classes. Any advice?

Thanks and good luck to you as well!

Anatomy is a beast. I am taking 2nd part before I start clinicals. I can't imagine trying to take at same time. My program requires AP1 with B or better before you even apply. Micro and AP2 can be taken during program however I decided to take them prior (next semster) so I'll be ready for fall clinical portion. Good luck!!

Yes, and answering questions helps.

Finals could be rough especially if you were weak in an area. (I didn't appreciate naming skeletal muscles and bones, but it worked out).

Update or dm me so I know how how you did when you get the results, hopefully my method helps. Good luck!

I can ditto suggestions to watch Professor Fink's videos. Watching his videos helped me incalculably to breeze through A&P with the highest score of all students in the classes. Professor Fink rocks.n He's funny too.

I am currently doing my pre-reqs for the LVN bridge to RN program. I just finished my AP1 and just barely passed with a high C. Working full time 50-60 hours a week in a psych facility and trying to study was hard. I agree with what everyone has said about AP, it's all memorization. I found that AP crash course on youtube is good. I am still debating whether to repeat AP1 for a better grade, as most nursing programs you need a 3.4 science grade to get in. Good Luck to you!!

Study.com is a great resource as well! You can get 5 day membership for free! They have a ton of courses and very in-depth anatomy and physiology videos as well as the written transcript to go with the video! These videos really helped me in A&P 2. Good Luck!

There is a Gray's Anatomy (no connection to the tv show) coloring book, that is good for visual learners. Its usually available at most major booksellers.

Your study methods need to be consistent. We all learn in different ways and the key is learning how you learn best. What works for one person may not work for you. If you need to read, write, and draw pictures to be successful than don't just read. I hope you understand what I am saying.
