Is A & P difficult to get into?

[skybirdrising]

I attend Purdue University and had no luck securing a spot in A&P1. Priority is given to upper classmen and then freshmen get leftovers. Looks like I'll be a Sophmore before getting into A&P. Chemistry with lab is also difficult to get into. I guess I'll be nailing down reqs towards my BSN if all else fails. Anybody else experiencing same difficulty?

The squeaky wheel does tend to get the grease, John. Good luck in getting into your classes!

You have my utmost respect...I'd lose my mind if I had to juggle all that!

Whoa, John!

Lots on your plate there kiddo.

Good luck!

I attened a CC, and after A&P 101 filled up, another section was opened since there were so many students that were closed out. Ask your registrar if that's a possibility.

Also, if you are able to add into classes, contact the professor before you attend the first class - there could be a number of people trying to add in, but there will probably be a couple of people that no-show or drop.

Good luck!

I just got closed out of all A&P II sections this past week. I did manage to get into a Nutrition class. My solution: I'm on the waitlist for A&P at the cc I'm already at now, and I'm also registering at another cc that has open A&P sections. That way, I'm assured of a spot *somewhere*.

I am a new pre nursing student. I am taking my pre-reqs. I am a returning 37 year old, working part- time, raising teenagers, with a hubby. The dilamea I have is: Should I take the Into To Anatomy and Physiology or Anatomy 1 then followed by 2. I am going for LPN first then moving on to RN. I need 1 and 2 for RN but I can get into LPN with taking Intro. My thinking is that Intro would be easier for me with not having any Bio background. It would give me a foundation for Anatomy 1 and stiil get me into LPN program. Has anyone any thoughts on Into classes compared to Anatomy 1.

Thanks for any input.

You said you don't have a bio background but have you taken a basic human bio class in the last couple of years?

IMO, I would take A&PI, it's not that bad

Mad -- I didn't have any bio either except the one class from high school eons ago before taking A / P I. I'm doing real well in it now (done next Wednesday).

Please don't underestimate this class though. It can be a real killer. We started out with around 25 students. Fast forward to mid-term, and we were down to 13!
