Online A&P

Published

hi everybody!! i'm trying to get pre-reqs for nursing school and i'm signing up for a &p for the next semester. my problem is that it isn't offered as a nighttime class this semester( it was last semester....whats up with that!!!) but it is offered as a online class. i really want to get started on my a&p credits but i'm not sure if taking it online is such a good idea, plus i don't know how the lab would work out on that. i'm new to school after nearly 20 years out, any suggestions? has anyone else taken a&p online?

hmmm. i didn't take a&p online but i have read some replies on this same subject.

i heard some people say that they actually had "virtual" labs.

i also heard other students say that their school sent the materials for lab to their house.

a&p is a pretty intense course and being that you have been out of school for so long, maybe a classroom setting is where you should start. i know you said that daytime schooling isn't an option for you but is there any other pre-reqs you could take (like maybe chemistry for instance?) this semester and then take a&p when the schedule works for you?

if you do decide to take this course online, don't overwhelem yourself with other classes if you aren't feeling too sure about the online a&p course. it's doable and you can do it if you put the time into it!

goodluck in whatever you decide! :yeah:

Make sure your specific nursing program excepts the online course first.

Some nursing programs will not accept an online A & P program.

Good luck

Specializes in student; help!.

I took both semesters online and thought it was great. A&PII required some on-campus time so take that into consideration. But it was good and I'm taking patho now with no problem (okay, maybe the case studies stump me :wink2:).

I don't know anything about whether schools will accept it or not, but I would check that out ahead of time.

Thanks for the input everybody. I think I'm going to contact the other schools in my area and see what they offer of an evening. I got so focused on my current school that I never even thought about the others.
