I Earned an A in A&P!

Published

Sorry to gloat, but I can't be more proud of myself :) less than half of the class passed the class, but I passed with an A! I am in tears because I worked so hard and finally I saw it paid off. Before I started, I asked for feedback about the class (including about the prof.)/and I was told by many people to drop or switch because it is very hard and straight A students barely scraped by with a C. I am not an "A" student, more like B student, sometimes even C, but I made an A. I learned so much and I think I found my element :) I hope I can keep it up. Stepping off my pedestal,.now...

I am in the same shoes as you!! I started this class, and I was not confident at all! I don't know if that gave me more initiative to study more or what, but I looked at my grades this morning and I received an A too!!!!

what I can honestly say about studying is don't slow down on it, if you get side tracked, study extra hard.

I taped my professor's lectures (after her permission, of course). That helped a TON because sometimes her explanations were easier to understand than the text. She would let us know roughly what kind of essay topics she would have on the tests so I went home and outlined key words that were very important to those topics. I made charts to help memorize the anatomy. For instance, the muscles I would write down the name and break it down by how they're named. That is how a lot of things in anatomy get named! Their named by where they are, what they do, what they look like (i.e. tibialis anterior-anterior side of the tiba) Also, if I needed to learn a large amt. of information, I looked a mnemonic. "Some Say Marry Money, But My Brother Says Big Brains Matter Most" helped me remember which cranial nerve is a motor or sensory or both. Hope this helps :)

Congrats! Having a solid knowledge of A&P will be highly beneficial to you in nursing school. Physiology comes back over & over again. Except in nursing school, they expect you to know it. The students that struggled in Physiology in pre-reqs tended to struggle in nursing school.
