Which is harder - A&P I or A&P II?

Lovelymo79 · May 5, 2009

It can be done ! I did AP 2 in 8 weeks with 5 Major exams, two lab practicals, and a quiz twice a week ! I got an "A" ... On top of AP I was working and still found time to hang out with my boyfriend, family, and friends. AP 2 gave me an adrenaline rush, and it was a class that I needed to start nursing school. So you can do it !!!!

Yeah..I'm working full time too..plus babysitting on the side. Boyfriend says to focus on school not him..family and friends totally understand. Plus, I'm taking it with a friend from A&P I. He was the smartest in the class and we have a little competition going on to keep each other on our toes..so hopefully that will help. And the teacher seems pretty cool and reasonable. But, I want an A in this class and I see I'm really going to have to earn it! I need it too since I start school in July!

Thanks for the encouragement!!!

Welcome to the jungle! :) Flash cards, coffee and quiet are your friends.

LOVED my online flashcards for A&P I..will be using them again. I write my notes in class..then type them up and then put them on online flashcards. The repetition helped a lot.

I don't do coffee.. :lol2:

Quiet is my BEST friend! lol

Thanks for the encouragement!

No I'm not, the AP teacher I saw works at HCC in MD. Well I guess there are fine AP teachers all over !

Not sure if the ladies were older who wrote about my teacher..but he's not what I thought he would be! Granted, he isn't ugly or anything..but he's attractive..in a fatherly sort of way! A little too "mature" for my style.

Which is funny since i'm dating a man 13 years my senior... :lol2:

For me, A&P I lecture was easy, but the lab was hard because of the bones & muscles. A&P II lecture was harder but the lab was easy lol.

I thought II was easier. I had the same instructor but I took Microbiology before A&P II and it all fell together. I don't think they even compare to Med-Surg though.

I thought they were fairly equal, as far as difficulty goes. I got a high A in both classes, but I have my priorities straight: I don't go out partying, don't ignore my reading material until the night before the test...you get the picture.

But with both courses, I felt like, by the end of the semester, if I had to pack one more fact into my brain, it would've exploded, LOL!

I think because A&P II is a summer course in 7 weeks..it's going to be a little bit harder..because all the information is being stuffed in..urgh! I will DEFINITELY be working hard for my grade..

A & P II. A lot more detailed it seemed. Good luck!

Dang! I wasn't going to say anything, but I took A&P II in 5 1/2 weeks.

I got the usual "A", but I'm telling you nursing school is different.

I get "B 's" now and I'm working harder than I ever did.

Study hard!

Well, I'm 4 weeks in..and finding A&P 2 a little bit easier! It's a lot of material..but I dunno..maybe I'm studying harder. lol I have an A average now..and plan to keep it that way. 4 tests down..4 more to go..and 3 weeksl left!

I'll let you know what I end up with!
