I'm also taking Micro this fall along with A&P 2. I stuck with the same professor I had for A&P 1 because I like his style and know what to expect. A friend of mine took Micro this summer with the same professor I will have, so I found out what textbook she uses and ordered one. My friend suggested reading the first few chapters before the class even begins. I'm actually looking forward to Micro. Lynn

Congrats, Carlos! That's quite an accomplishment. I just took big exam 2 and got 105 (the 5 points was extra credit). I have my first practical exam on July 1. It shouldn't be so bad. We've been studying the bones up close and personal for like 2 weeks now. Again, congratulations on your A. Lynn

I just started College Algebra. I'm taking it online. I had to start from the beginning. Elementary Algebra and then Intermediate Algebra. I hope I do well. I got an A in the first two. Lynn

I just wanted to add...I have noticed at my school that there are a lot of "older" students. In my Anatomy class, there are probably 6 or 7 students who are in the 30+ age group and we all want to be nurses. I also read somewhere that the 30+ age group is the fastest growing group of people who are enrolling in college. Lynn

I say go for it! I'm 46! I just started last year and am almost finished with my pre-reqs. I'm definitely fulfilling my dream and you should too. Lynn

Count me in! So far we've had two quizzes (8.6/10 and 10/10) and the first exam (98!). It was on the intro to anatomy, chemistry, body planes, and cells. My professor, so far, has been great. Lynn (at FCCJ in Jax, FL)

I take his class notes and put them on index cards and take them everywhere I go. When I get a few minutes, I look through them and basically memorize each card to the point where I can close my eyes and visualize what is on each one. It really helped a lot! Everything that was on the test came straight from the note packets he hands out for each chapter. I love his teaching style. Lynn

Hmm I don't see my post that I just posted. I started AP1 on May 6th. So far two quizzes (86 and ? not back yet) and one exam (98). Professor tells us exactly what to study, which I like. We're using the Marieb textbook. My professor doesn't like to use it but says it's "good reference". Lynn

ignore this one...I'm a newb...

Mixy, I'm finding out that I'm a MUCH better student this time around. I figure this is my "last chance" at school, so I'm making the best of it. I am 46 years old and I'm so determined to get my degree. I hope I at least make it out of school by the time I'm 50. LOL. I'm young at heart, so I figure I have plenty of time to be in the work force. Lynn

I'm taking A&P 1 this summer. I started on May 6th. 6:30pm-8:20pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. My professor is great! He told us we probably won't use the book much. I already had it from when I signed up last semester, but dropped the class. ($184!). Lynn

Congrats on all the great grades! Here's mine... CHM1020 Chemistry A ENC1102 English 2 A MAT1033 Intermediate Algebra A SLS 1103 Strategies for Success A The last class was basically a gpa booster. Unfortunately, I started at FCCJ with my gpa from when I went to college back in the 80's. I started with a 2.44 and over the last two semesters, I have raised it to a 2.81. Lynn

Wow...I can't imagine doing A&P 1 in 5 weeks. Good luck! I'm taking it right now, but a 16 week course.

I hope for the best for you! As it looks now, I'll be done with my pre-reqs after the fall semester, but I read last night I can't apply until I'm done with A&P 2, which won't end until after the deadline for Spring 2009. So it looks like it's Summer 2009 for me. Lynn

Sorry I didn't get back to you. I didn't get back to the boards because of this chemistry class that consumed like 99% of my time. I am taking A&P 1 and College Algebra this summer and then in the Fall I'll be taking A&P 2 and Microbiology, which will finish up my pre-reqs. I'm also taking a Humanities course in the Fall to finish up my AA. I almost took A&P 1 online during the Spring Semester. I had a nightmare about it and dropped it before the class ever began. I found out from a friend in my Chemistry class that she took it online and it was really hard and the instructor she had NEVER answered emails. So I guess I was right by going with my gut instinct. I can't wait to start it. My class starts May 6. Taking it at Deerwood. Lynn

All of my classes that I have taken have been online so far. I've taken 7 online classes and got A's in all of them. Summer 2008 will be my first in-class courses, so I'm pretty excited about that. Online courses are great, but you have to be self-disciplined and motivated. I took Chemistry online and it really taught me time management. Lynn

Hello everyone! I'm hoping to apply for Spring 2009. This is a scary ride for me. I just turned 46 and have two children, one who is home schooled. It's been 26 years since my first round of college. Thank goodness I'm a better student now than I was back in the 80's. I finished this semester with all A's. Nice to be here! Lynn

Sorry...I see this one went through again. I'm new, so please forgive me! LYnn

Hi everyone! I'm Lynn. I returned back to school after a 26 year "break". I'm taking A&P 1 this summer at Deerwood with James Johnson, so I was really happy to hear that 2008nurse2B said he was "excellent". I'm already signed up to take A&P 2 with him in the Fall. After this fall, I will be DONE with pre-reqs and general courses. Anyway, nice to be here. Lynn

Hi everyone. I've been on this board for about 3 months now and this is my very first post. My name is Lynn and I'm taking A&P 1 this summer along with College Algebra and I'll be taking A&P 2 and microbiology in the fall. Scary, but exciting! I came back to college after a 26 year "break". LOL. It's scary coming back after so long, but I am doing fine. By the end of the Fall semester I should have all my pre-reqs and all the general courses done! Nice to meet everyone and I promise I'll be more active on the boards. I need the moral support! Lynn

Just wanted to give everyone a little heads up. I talked to my contact in financial aid today and she said registration for Fall '08 semester opens just after spring break, so start deciding on what you want to take now. I'm still working on my pre-reqs. I think I have 2 more to go. Lynn
