I love this advice. It's spot on. I also think OP should strive to prove him/herself wrong about that critical thinking narrative. It's not true, it's just a belief. Go get yours!

Frozenmedic, I know this original post is not mine, but I so appreciate your answers to all the questions asked. I'm studying for A&P now and hoping to do well, thinking that getting that first class through Excelsior done will boost my confidence. Your thoughtful answers were helpful to me. Thank you so much!

I think I would probably plan this according to programs available near you. I have looked into myself as a very long term goal. I have a teaching degree and also my LPN. So now am working toward RN and hopefully to BSN and to NP. Seems like a long road considering I already have a Master's degree, but working as an LPN is just not cutting it for me. I do love it so much, but got to do more with myself. There is a program that I can do here in NY. It's out of Stonybrook College. BSN to NP and it is distance learning. I have to kind of find my own clinical placements and get them approved while doing the coursework. I would look into that if I were you. Christine

Hi there, I am wishing you (and me) good luck in getting this done. I live in NY and spoke to someone at Excelsior who was very helpful to me about getting started. I actually took A&P I & II just over five years ago so those A's that I got in those courses don't really count for me now. However, I did love the courses and I feel like a lot of the course work will come back to me quickly. I also have to take microbiology, Information Literacy, and the TEAS assessment before I can actually enroll and start with the nursing courses. I am in a similar situation as you as I know I am called to do more with my nursing career. I'm going to add a question in this thread if you don't mind. I am wondering if I actually need to buy the 10th edition of the Martini A&P book (at all??) or if an earlier edition would be okay? Here's hoping to get to that RN smoothly as possible. Christine
