Yes, we have cadavers. After coming to this site, I've noticed it's rare. Nursing students are either dissecting cats or rats. I think it's kinda sad...I think it makes more sense to dissect your own species, lol. The 1st night we started with a cat, from then on we did cadavers. Surprisingly, I go to a community college so you wouldn't think that we'd do cadavers. We're known in the area to have the hardest A&P course...yay! Anyway....now after knowing how it's done online, it seems a lot harder! Trying yourself...ouch! But I do understand why someone in your situation would do it online and thank you for explaining it. Good luck!
