Keeping Calm, and Question AP 2

I know I've spewed my situation on here before, but I'm just wondering if anyone has advice for me. I know that a year isn't THAT long, and I'll only be 23 when I apply for the program for 2015 admission, but I still cannot stop beating myself up! I got scared away after Fall last year because I took too many classes. I dabbled into another field(teaching) and realized it was just too BORING. So now, I want to go back to nursing.

Unfortunately, I cannot stop slapping myself mentally for doing this! I'm watching as my friends that I became close with during those hard classes, are waiting for their acceptance letters, wishing that I was there.

So what do I do? I'm retaking classes(our science classes can be taken 3 times, and all other co and pre classes can be taken as many as desired), and trying to finish up everything. All I "technically" have left is AP 2.

Now I'm wondering, will having not really done AP since Fall 2013 really hurt me? It'll have been a little under a year when I get back into it. What are some study tips you'd advise? I'm going to start re-reading the book through the chapters of AP 1, and doing some online practice things. But I just wonder what might be advised! Heck, I can still remember some of the things we learned because of my silly memory tricks.

A & P II is just a continuation from A & P I, you will be finishing up the remaining body systems that were not covered. Although I took I & II back to back, A & P II touched very little on A & P I. At least in my school.

Same here. I skipped a term between A&P I and A& P II. I was scared about it too. I made a B in 1, and I made an A in A&P 2.

I agree as well. I took A&P1 in spring 2012, then had to withdraw from A&P2 in the fall 2012 semester due to severe pregnancy complications. I didn't take it again until fall 2013, and it was totally fine.
