A&P 1: The Spring '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Ok, no one has started this yet, so I guess I will. I start A&P I on January 18th, lab and lecture.

Here are a few good websites I have found...some are basic, some may be more indepth than your instructor asks for.....BUT it gives you a little more to look over before class starts next month! :) ....Never forget the website for your actual book too!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU

Well we had our first test today. It was over Chapters 1,2&3. I am not as freaked out now as I was before the test. It was mostly multiple choice a bit of matching and a few short answer questions. I feel as though I may have gotten a B on it. The cells and DNA have always been difficult for me. We are starting Chapter 4 now, its the chapter on tissues. I feel like the absolute worst is over.

You will! I know it seems overwhelming. To me, the cell and genetics subjects were just the worst (my school covered that in the bio class I had to take before A&P, thank gawd). But there were the overviews of a bunch of systems where we had to do 4 or 5 in one week. To me, A&P is actually better because we spend more time on less systems.

Just take good notes, and read them as often as you can. Skim the ch's before the test and do a quick overview of your essay questions. I've been known to do these things while playing with my kids, or cooking dinner, lol! I am a great multi-tasker.

Goodluck!

That is great!! Do you know what question you missed? (try to help someone else out....LOL)

Our class is skipping the chemical and cell chapters b/c the requirements for the class is a biology class or a previous A&P class.

We had a practice lab practical yesterday, just identifing the tissues. I got them all correct.....now I have to study location, function and a description for each one! :uhoh3:

Good luck.....keep studying....keep up the good grades everyone!

Howdy Everyone!

Haven't had time to visit lately---busy busy busy!

Sounds like everyone is doing great!! Ihope I can say the same--tomorrow is my first exam.

It's two parts- 1. multiple choice & matching 2. fill-in-the-blank, label the diagrams, & short essay.

Lots of people were upset about having essay- I guess they expected all multiple choice for a lecture test??? but the instructor is cool he said just answer the question don't pad with BS. Hahahaha

I feel pretty good about it. I'm trying to review until about 7:00 then put it down! If I don't know it by then ....too late.

I could wait and take it on Friday but we've got "math night" for my daughter @ school tomorrow night - I want to be finished and be able to have fun.

BTW-- where is everyone--state that is???

I'm in OKLAHOMA, hence the title Okie. :specs:

(specifically, I'm in a comfy recliner w/laptop & kiddos are squished in here with me watching PBS)

I've gotta get back to studying--we're eating "take out" tonight for sure.

Good job!!!!

I haven't had my first test yet, I am in an online class, so after studying all week I will take it sat morning (it's due by midnight sat night). We'll see how I do! I'm a bit nervous.

I do have a bit of a brag :chuckle We had to turn in 4 essays last week, and my instructor emailed me this morning asking if she could use my 4 essays as an example for the class on how to get full credit on the essays. Apparently, I followed our grading rubric perfectly, and a lot of people in the class didn't. So now when I log onto our class, I see my work in the class folder! To top it off, this is the second time this has happened, in my bio class last semester, my instructor like my biotech and genetics paper so much, she also put it in her syllabus as an example for her future classes on what an essay should look like. So I just feel really good about myself today!

Good luck to everyone on upcoming tests. Let us know how you do.

Are you guys doing integumentary system yet? Is anyone?

If anyone has come up with a good way to remember all the layers of the epidermis, can you please let me know!

And to add on to your specifics, sitting on the living room couch, with my laptop watching my sick 1 year old sleep and my 4 year old play in the backyard through my living room window.

We just started the integumentary system Tuesday, so I don't really know all the different parts/layers yet. If you do find out away, please share it!! :)

I am so happy to hear so many are doing well on their tests. Kudos to you!

I would like to know if there are any people struggling already? I am not in the position I thought I would be in at this point. Right now I have a low C. Basically I am trying to get used to school and tests again since it has been 14 years. I have three kids and work. This has been hard. I can't get to the practice lab or study groups like a lot of the others are doing. I want to succeed, but now am scared I won't. Now, I have the added pressure to maintain and bring up that C! I am studying 3 hours a night, taking notes and making flash cards, but I don't seem to have "enough" time to drill it all in before the next test.

Again, congratulations to the students doing so well.
