Is it wise to take a&p 2 in the summer time or just take it in the regular semester?!
I took it over the summer and it was fine. Have to say, tho, that it was a bit easier due to having an awesome instructor. Some people were still struggling tho. It goes fast so you really have to stay on top of the material. Wouldn't take it with another heavy class. I took it with sociology, I think. Got A's in both.

I've taken A&P in regular length Semesters and over the summer as well. While I can honestly say that the information was presented really quickly, I personally didn't have much of a problem with it. However, some classmates of mine did. The biggest problem/issue with any summer course is that you can't let yourself fall behind. If you do, it's monumentally more difficult to catch up than is usually possible in a regular semester length course.
On the other hand, it's great training for nursing students to learn to be able to take in information at a faster pace than they're used to. That's about the rate of information uptake that you have to be able to sustain for the length of the program. Once you're used to it, it's really not that difficult.
