A&P I Summer 2007

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

I want to start a sticky A&P I Summer 2007 for those of us tackling it!:) I start in two weeks.. M-Th 3hours every morning!

Hopeful, my teacher suggested this website for contractions, it works really well!

1) Go to: www.mhhe.com/seeley7

2) Go to Student Edition

3) Go to Chapter 9

4) Look up different types of contractions.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for the info. I am taking A&P 1 and English 2 this fall 2007 in the NYC. This will give me the opportunity to get a head start.

Im trying to figure out what classes would be good to take first, I want to take english 111, anatomyand phsy1,and Math120. Would this be to much to take on at one time by me working the 3-1130pm shift.

For me, this load would be overwhelming, but with good time management and study habits, doable.

My English class required us to write lots of essays and research papers. I consider English one of my better subjects and still found it a challenge to take this class with Micro and Chem. Otherwise - this probably would have been a "cake" class.

Math was never my strongest subject so I had to get a tutor - and spent what seemed like tons of time burning the midnight oil on homework.

I am taking A&P now and devote a considerable amount of time on it. There is so much to memorize for this class that I find I need at least 2 hours for every hour I am in class just to keep my head above water.

There are people who take on fulltime class loads and work but I don't see how they do it without sacrificing their sanity! I have my hands full enough with being a fulltime student, homeschooling my daughter and staying semi on top of household chores!

I would suggest evaluating your time management skills and study habits before taking on this load. You will have to sacrifice alot of personal leisure time, time with friends and family and just plain get used to having a messy house! If you are determined enough, you can do anything you set your mind to do. Good luck!

So far I am enjoying my A&P I class! I found an interesting website that has live human dissections done by the guy who did the Bodies exhibits. It covers basic anatomy but he explains and shows how certain diseases affect the body. Hope this helps!

This is very cool!

Only if you can study at work. I work a 9-5, and two classes per semester was suffecient if you want to gets A's and B's. In order for me to get into the nursing program at my school (BMCC in NYC). I can get no less than an A- in English 101, psychology 100, nursing math, and A&P 1. I am taking A&P 1 and English 201 this fall 2007. English 101 was a lot of reading and writing papers, and your math 120 ( which should be nursing math) is alot of math conversion problems. I hear A&P 1 is so much memorization that it is almost a crime. lol. You can always drop a class before the deadline if it is to overwhelming in the beginning. Taking those three classes, working 3-1130pm would be overwhelming for me because of all the memorization A&P 1 has. Good Luck!

Well, I am taking A&P1 this fall 2007. I have not taken it yet. I recommend that you get started soon with getting familiar with the body, cells, bones, etc. I hear it is alot of memorization. I recently purchased the A&P coloring workbook from BARNES & NOBLE, just to get a head start. It's great! Check out Barnes & Noble they have a great medical section so you can get an early start. I will be purchasing A&P flash cards next, lol. I am on the ball. Good Luck!;)

I'm just finishing A&P I this week - one semester crammed into 6 weeks - good lord it's been a lot of work, but I'm doing very well. I think the best advice I can give for anyone taking it in the Fall is keep up with the reading, get your textbook early if you can and at least skim through it. DO NOT try to memorize individual facts, try to have them make sense to you and understand how it all fits together. You will have a hard time passing a test if you're trying to pull facts out of thin air - tryi to really think about the "whys". It really is a fascinating thing, the human body!

A sigh of relief....

I took my next-to-last exam in API today...I now have a 89.5 average. If I get an A and on the final (non-comprehensive), I'll get an A for the class...if I get a B...I'll get a B for the class.

My goal, because of the speed of the course and vast amount of material...a B was my goal.

I don't think I"ll get an A because we have a 3 chapter exam on Wednesday and a Practicum on Thursday, and our professor is being EXTREMELY unclear about what we are being tested on, and those precious points makes the difference between an A and a B.

A "B" won't hurt my GPA..

I don't know if I can go through another 5 weeks of this pace for the second part of the summer...it's hard on my family, me, and I feel so burned out.

When I started, I was very excited to read and learn..but now, I don't even want to open up a book...and I HAVE to do well.

Not sure what to do.

My PN course begins in august, but we were given our A&P and Medical Terminology books in late May. They are self study courses, although we can do them the first 14 weeks of school. I am finding it hard to stay on track and retain the info im learning since were not in class to discuss. Any helpfull tips???

Thanks for the advice. Sounds like its not about all memorization, but trying to figure out how and why certain body parts operate will help in learning and passing A&P 1. I start Aug. 30 with A&P1 and english 201. Thanks;)
