A&P 1 Fall '06 Club!

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Just wanted to start a "club" for those of us who are taking A&P 1 this fall.

My class is 16 weeks. I have lecture on M/W/F for one hour each day and lab on Tues for 3 hrs.

My teacher for lecture & lab (same person) is awesome! She gives us a weekly quiz, drops the lowest one. Gives us extra credit. Four major tests. Final is comprehensive. (Ick)

She gave us handouts for chapter 1 and we just fill in what we want as she pretty much has everything she wants in these handouts. She told us we don't have to bring our big, heavy book to class - she'd tell us page numbers of tables, pictures she wanted us to know. As a matter of fact - she said we don't have to use the book that was sold to us for this semester. She said we could use any book like Saladin, etc., and make copies if any diagram, table is different. Pretty nice there.

Okie dokie - who else?

Whoo hoo! Just took my last regular test and lab practical. All I have left is the final on Wed and then i'm done!!

smattles- Yay! I thought this test was the easiest of the semester... but I've still got the practical to go on Monday.

I am definitely looking forward to the Christmas break before I start A&P 2. Whew!

I have my lab practical saturday on the cat muscles so not looking forward to that, I have the cadaver tomorrow and essay and then next week my last unit exam repo and human growth. I am looking forward to my 6 weeks of no school work!!!! I plan to really recharge!

live4rachael...holy cow, that test I thought was the hardest! I couldn't even remember what the difference was between grey and white matter. Goodness. And I messed up on the dorsal and ventral roots and which was sensory and which was motor. Blah. I know I didn't get an A :(

The practical wasn't bad actually. He just used a few models I didn't recognize and once I got home I was kicking myself at some dumb mistakes. But good luck! :) You'll do great!

And good luck in A&P2. Are you taking Micro too? Did you find out who your teacher is yet?

Yay!!! I am all done ap1 I can't believe it I finished a week early. I was suposed to do my cat discection today but convinced my lab partners to get it over with yesterday so we did we got full points 120/120! I finish AP 1 with a whopping 104% I can't belive I won't have to study for that this week.

I still have my chemistry final a week from tuesday but now I have lots of time to prepare for that!

My final is on Monday. It's supposed to be mostly on reproductive system and development, with "a few" questions from other chapters. I have a 96, so I'm only studying the new material. Then I have my other class's final Tuesday, and then a whole month off! Probably the last break that long I'll ever get, if I get into the accelerated program that starts in May. Good luck to everyone else!

smattles- Nah, I'm holding off to do Micro til the summer, I'm just taking A&P 2 in the spring. My job's about to change and be even more time-consuming, and I don't want to commit to 2 classes next semester. That's the last class I'll need to apply for the program, but I can't attend until Fall 2008 anyway, so I'm not in a hurry. I don't have Mr. Jackson again for A&P 2 though...

You had both the practical AND the test to study for... there's no way I would've been ready for both so for that I applaud all of you that did! I'm still not ready for the muscles AT ALL for Monday's practical... but I'm good on everything else. We'll see.

Are you all ready to start the program in January?? Yay, I'm so excited for you!

live4rachael-The muscles weren't that bad, actually. Pretty obvious ones, so you should do ok. Only one or two that I couldn't figure out only because he used a weird model that I forgot to study. Blah. The multiple choice was kinda confusing though, but then again I thought the test was confusing, so that might have been the problem!

I think i'm ready for MUSC...yikes. I got my uniform and bought some white shoes. And all my nursing books are coming in from amazon.com, so that's making it more real. Yikes. I just hope everything goes ok with my kids...I'm having a friend watch them until I can get them into the daycare on base and I just worry. Oh well...

Good luck in A&P2! It'll be nice having a break after this week!

Just finished my final - I got 47/54 on the lecture, 100 on the lab. B for the lecture final, but good enough to maintain an A in the course. Yay! And the best part, is no more studying for over a month! (except my Devel Psych final tomorrow) Good luck to everyone else!

2 days of class and one final left!!! My lab final is tomorrow I currently have a 100+ in lab, hopefully I won't screw that up.

Tomorrow is our AP final. Yay. We had class on Mon and he didn't give us back our last test or practical, so I can't figure out what I need to get on teh final to maintain an A. This stinks! But oh well ;)

My final is on Thursday....here's wishing the best to everyone this week.

Peace,

Cathie
