A&P 1 Spring 08

Lennonninja, MSN, APRN, NP · Jan 7, 2008

My class starts next Tuesday so I'm taking this last week to get chapter 1 all outlined before my first class starts. I'm really excited, but really scared!

My first A&P class is tonight! :uhoh3: I'm scared but I'm excited! I have already read ch. 1 in preparation. Are ya'lls books huge too? My book is 1200 pages! Also, between the lecture and the lab I spent about $300 on books/lab packets/etc. Sheesh! So far as I can tell, flashcards are the way to go for studying. Also as someone had mentioned in an earlier post, it's very helpful to make copies of body diagrams with the parts blanked out so you can fill them in yourself and memorize that way. Is anyone else really nervous about the lab? That part scares me the most. Good luck to everybody!

Hi Everyone!!! This is my 1st post and I am also starting A&PI this semester. My class starts on the 21st and I am excited and VERY nervous. I took a Microsoft Office prereq class last fall and other than that I have been out of school since '95!!! I have been a SAHM for 6 years now and am really ready for this, but I still wake up some days saying to myself "What are you Thinking?" Good luck to everyone!!

I registered for school since November sixth, and I had the nerve to sign up for A&P1 and chemistry. (I have had too many months now to change my mind about the amount of classes i have signed up for.) Even though i have a very good GPA 3.90 I am coming from an accounting background. Then the Nursing dept sent me a letter in December telling me I could start my nure 130 class which is the first one. I was so excited I went to register for that one too. I have all three for Spring of 08 I am really thinking about just keeping the chem then doing a&p 1 in summer 1 and a&p2 in summer 2 . Then I will wait for the next letter for me to start nure 130 in the fall of 08. ANY advice or should I just stick it out . get a&p 1 chem and nure 130 out of the way. HELP GUYS!!!!!!

I have heard several people at our college in Missouri having the same problem. I guess science changes?? Maybe that is why they only accept credits from 5 years or less.

I start my class on next Monday. I wasn't too nervous about this A&P I (b/c I'm pretty good at memorization) but reading some of the posts in here have me quite nervous and apprehenseive. :uhoh21: I don't know if I should be worried and start preparing ahead like some of you all are doing. Any advice?

had my first A&P1 class today and so far so good! It was all review on chemistry that I did back in grade 11 so although a lot of notes, not a lot that is actually new so far. I have my first independent lab tomorrow so hopefully that will go well!

how is everyone else doing? has anybody started yet?

I start A&P tomorrow. I actually have lab first then lecture. I'm nervous, but excited. My teacher isn't listed yet, would help to know who I have so I know better what to expect. Looking forward to taking this class, and getting it overwith...
