Looking for A & P I Class over Winter

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I am a new student and I need to get all of my pre-reqs out of the way before summer 2009 so that I can start my program. I need to take A & P I over winter term. One big problem... its not offered anywhere because of how intense it is. If anyone knows where I can take A & P I over winter break or a combined A & P I & II in Spring 2009 I would really appreciate it. I live in MD but I have family everywhere and am willing to travel anywhere to get this out of the way. Thanks!

Have you thought about doing it over the summer before the program starts?? I know one girl in my program who called the director ahead of puting her app in and she gave her specific info on how to submit app if pre-reqs not completed due to planned enrollment prior to the program. We have a program that only accepts 74 out of 300 so even though it is demanding on those pre-reqs and GPA, she must have fit the criteria. That is why they have alternates, for people who back out last minute or people who didnt live up to their word. That allows those spots to be filled. Anyways, I think you should look into that because I know my college does not offer it in mini semesters due to its content. I know my college offers another form of a semester though. It has 16 week semesters that are considered 'normal', then we have 8 week semesters. Those semesters are called respectively "Fall I & Fall II" because there are two in a semester. You might be able to find a college nearby that has something like that. You could do them in the spring and complete them; however, since they are only 8 weeks, you have more class time and study time to make up for it.

Well I am in Oregon, and the community college where I did my pre-reqs I belive offers A&PI during winter term, they also have a summer program where you do all three terms of A&P in one summer, very intense, but you get it out of the way.

I'd check all ur local colleges. I go to a community college and they offer AP 1 and 2 year round. I'd advise to not take AP1 and 2 at the same time though, AP1 is pretty tough by itself and you really need to know that foundation before proceeding to the second A&P. Good luck!
