in the search field type "2402" and it should direct you to A&P2. Click on the course number and it will take you to the page with all the PPTs (Marieb).

Let me know if you have problems.

I got a B in ANPI and am worried it is going to keep me out of the nursing program at Ivy Tech. I am so bummed. I got a 64 on my lab exam this week in ANPII. I feel like I am not going to make it.

Cathie,

I just said that because I have heard some pretty ridiculous comments from students, like, "I don't want anyone working on me that got below a 90 in this class." :icon_roll Hehe.

With my 80 in A&P I, I can name all the bones, muscles (ones we were required to learn - 95 of them) and look at a tissue slide and tell you where it came from and the type of tissue it is. I am not worried about it. :wink2:

Well, not the topic, but my class and professor. Too much to get into detail really. Let's just say the class holds 24 and started with that many...well we are in week 5 and are down to just 11 students. Over half the class has dropped! It's really aweful. I feel like I have little chance to learn all that I need to. We are into week 5 and she is still going over the endocrine system. According to the syllabus we should have been done with that at week 2. Week 5 we should be finishing the cardiovascular system! We haven't even began! We got our first tests back tonight (spec senses and endocrine). Well she made us all sit in class and lab and write essays (5 in all) over material we just tested on.What's the deal! I got a 100 on the lab test and an 88 on the Lecture, I don't need to keep going over the material, let's move on.

Anyway, just wanted to vent.

She is making me LOVE Micro and Stats!!!! Hahaha. At least I don't dread those classes - they are a fresh breeze after AP2.

Yikes...sorry your class is not going well. I was not able to get into the Saturday class this semester and I am thinking God that it was full...I love my M/W teacher and my friends who are in the Saturday class speak of their teacher like you...they are miserable.

She gives pop quizzes on the material that she just lectured on..yikes.

I am really enjoying my teacher this semester. He is very fast paced, but very practical and is always throwing out helpful things to help you remember his concepts. They are silly things but really help...such as Arteries - (A) is for (taking blood) Away from the heart.

We just finished up the Cardivascular system and the circulatory system and are starting on the Lymphatic system tonight. We get our second exam back tonight and I am dying to know how I did. I know I missed 3 questions out of 40...I just hope I did not miss any of the other questions.

I got a C in A&PI and flunked both lab exams (must got a 50% in lab to pass the class, I got a 51%). I am really trying to work hard in A&PII but the teacher is making it very difficult. We haven't had our first exam yet but it's supposed to cover endocrine system, reproductive system, blood, and heart. Yeah, that's 1 exam. :confused:

:stone I don't know. I'm getting discouraged now. My GPA is too low so I have to work extra hard to bring it up now. I've taken so many credits towards nursing now that I don't wanna change but, I don't feel smart enough to be a nurse. But, I am trying.

I had trouble with A&P1, too. I got a D the first time and a C the second time. I felt like I understood the material but the tests just killed me. They were full of "is it A or B or C or all of the above or none of the above" sort of questions where you couldn't eliminate anything. The lab tests were the absolute worst - almost every single question was phrased that way. I made A's, B's, and C's in lecture and C's, D's, and F's in lab. It drove me nuts. I studied and it didn't help. A&P2 has been very different so far. I don't know if they are using 1 as a weed-out course or what, but 2 seems like a breeze comparatively. I have an 89 so far after two tests. I'm normally a great student - before A&P1 I only had one B on my transcript, everything else was A's (I have 37 hours currently, plus 4 for the D in A&P1, so it's not like I'm new to college). My GPA is currently a 3.7, due to that one B in English 1102 and the C in A&P1. It makes me sick. Hopefully it will go up a bit after this semester. I hate to obsess about it when I have good grades, but it seems like the nursing program only admits 4.0 and very close to 4.0. :o

For those of you doing the heart.....how are you learning your right and left AV valves? Are you calling them Right AV valve, and Left AV valve respectively or tricuspid, bicuspid or are any of you using mitrovalve? What will be using in the hospitals?

I remember them by thinking about the lungs. The right lung has 3 lobes, therefore the tricuspid valve is on the right. The left lung has 2 lobes, therefore the bicuspid valve is on the left. I'm actually picking up quite a few little memory tricks in my EMT class. They simplify the anatomy part big time, which helps me remember the big concepts so I can spend more time on the little, nit-picky stuff for A&P.

I have read a lot of threads where students say that their nursing schools required such a high gpa. The schools in my area don't. One of the best schools in Missouri (Maryville Univ) requires a 2.75 and they have, I believe, at 94% pass rate. UMSL requires a 3.2 to get into their accelerated program if you don't currently have a bachelors.

What's sad is :nono: I've been slacking and thought about giving up so many times so now my GPA is only a 2.5 (good enough to get into the community college). However, I do have time to bring it up which I will (I hope :mad: )

Good Luck to You

Is that 2.75 the requirement for application or is that the lowest average GPA for actual admitted students? For instance, at my school the minimum GPA requirement for applying to the school is 3.0, but the lowest GPA of the students who are actually admitted is typically 3.5 or greater... so if I were to have a GPA of less than that, regardless of whether I meet the minimum GPA of 3.0 for application, there's very little chance of me getting in.

NikNik-

I am moving to STL (I am originally from there). I have a 3.5 almost 3.6 and am applying to Maryville's Weekend and Evening program and I am just dying to find out if I made it in. Do you attend Meramac and is that an RN program?

I was just going to say the samething, becareful with what information you hear always go directly to the source of the school you are applying too, not their websites or literature but actual conucelors or administrators. My school if you look up the website it will tell you minimum gpa of 2.5 which is true however so many people apply that they only accept the best gpa, each school does it different but typically a school that does not require anything gpa, test scores etc..will have a very long wait list, my next school closest to me also has a gpa2.5 no other requirements and is on a 6-8 semester wait.
