Hi y'all! I'm new to this forum so figured I'd jump on in.
After finishing three years of prerequisites I am entering the RN program in August. I was so relieved when I passed the NLN and was accepted into the program but will admit to feeling a bit nervous, especially since there seem to be so many people who think I'm doomed. So far with prereqs I'm holding a 4.0 GPA, not that that matters really. At my age, almost 40, I take this seriously. Heavens knows, I'll have to. The biggie worry? While I'm taking the Nursing I courses, I'll also be taking Anatomy/Physiology...Part I in the Fall and Part II in the Spring. Even the nursing instructor said it was impossible to expect to take them both and pass. I've had others, though, who say they believe I can do it, including my advisor. Her reasoning is that the instructors are going by what they 've seen in students who haven't applied themselves as my advisor says she knows I do.....whooo, what a tongue twister so please forgive grammatical errors....it's late and I should be in bed...but....
Anyhoo, I was discouraged to hear this from the instructor. I purchased two different books off of eBay....Anatomy Coloring Book and the Physiology Coloring Book, figuring if I use my time wisely during summer break, at least I won't go into A & P totally blind about it, right?
I dunno. How many of y'all have taken them all together? The only alternative I have is to take A & P only and enter nursing classes next year but I really don't want to! I want to do this now! I'm anxious to be a nurse, I've worked so hard already, and for goodness sake, I'm not getting any younger. Someone please encourage me, will ya?
