Online A&P1

Published

Hello, everyone. I posted this in the pre-nursing section but thought maybe people IN the nursing program would be better suited to help me with this. :)

I decided to enter the medical profession and am either going into nursing or radiography, but the more research I do into the professions, the more I think I would like to be a nurse. I already have an A.A. and I am taking AP I online. To enter the nursing program at my school I need to complete this class, A&P 2, and Microbiology as I've already taken the other pre-reqs and I have a high GPA. I am doing quite well in the class so far where grades are concerned I have a 99 (I haven't taken the proctored midterm or final yet, so that will more than likely go down), however I don't feel like I am really learning (read: retaining) anything. Even so, I'm sure I will pass. I am afraid to enter the nursing program and then do terribly because I don't remember anything from this class. I'm also afraid that maybe I am second guessing myself. Should I take the class again in person? I am due to have a baby in Sept and am registered for the online A&P 2 for the fall but think I am going to try to get it hybrid instead. Any advice would help.

I would not worry about this. During nursing school, you will have the opportunity to look up pertinent A&P as you progress. As a matter of fact, every time you do a care plan, you (at least I did) will start with the A&P that relates to the patient. And pathophys will either be a separate course or will be integrated into the program, so you are never beyond reviewing the material.

I took my a&p 1 and 2 online. I'm entering NS in the fall and like you at first I considered both nursing and radiology. I think you'll do fine with such good grades. I had an A in both courses. You may just need to brush up from time to time. I'm reviewing during the summer off before NS starts. A&P is a ton of information. You are probably retaining more than you think. Good luck to you.
