Help with A&P

Published

I took my A&P 1 online and regretting the choice. I received an "A" in the course but I only have a rough understanding of the subject. I understand this is the base of nursing and I need to understand it thoroughly. I have a 5 week break and would like to study the subject as much as possible during this time. Does anybody have an books they recommend for the subject that is totally dry and tips on what to focus on?

If you have a book you can go back through and read that. You could even buy an anatomy book that is maybe a semester or two old and go back through that. Fortunately, the courses build on each other, kinda like math, so youl will go over and over and over the stuff. Good luck :)

Thank you. My book is very dry and I didn't do well reading the 800 pages covered. I couldn't seem to retain any of the information .

I'm new here, but I just finished my first A&P class (do you mean A&P I class?), and I really liked the Barron's EZ Anatomy and Physiology book. It's more of a basic/highlights book, but it is a great place to start and for me, once I could absorb the big idea, the finer points were easier to remember.

It's on Amazon, here: E-Z Anatomy and Physiology (Barron's E-Z Series): I. Edward Alcamo Ph.D., Barbara Krumhardt Ph.D.: 9780764144684: Amazon.com: Books

Private message me with your email address and I'll send you something I think might help greatly. If you'd prefer I give you my email address instead, that's fine.

I loved E-Z Anatomy and Physiology by Barrons. Im reading it again during my winter break as well. Get that book and then go over your lab notes with A&P model pics found on Google. You can do this.

I also used the E-Z Barron's book. It's a great, easy to comprehend book that highlights all the main topics. Additionally, I found the quizzes at the end of each chapter to be very helpful. Glad you purchased it already! :)

Don't forget the great free websites, like Khan Academy, to help you understand almost any topic more clearly. His videos are a great study tool..
