    What Did Your A&P Classes Cover? Please Read/Reply!

    CrunchyMama replied to DiamondShortay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think all A&P courses nationwide are basically the same. The only difference I've noticed is dissections in lab. My school, we do cadavers but so many other posters I've seen say they do either...

    What other classes did you take with A&P?

    My 1st semester back (fall 08) looked like this: A&P1 college seminar (half a semester class my school makes everyone take) English 2 2nd semester A&P2 CPR (half semester) Life Span Sociology...

    CrunchyMama replied to Pre-Student22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hear ya! A couple months ago I bought a dosage calculations book to get a head start and it's hard. BUT they explain it very well on how to solve problems. My husband is good at math so it's nice to...

    Discouraged and only taking A&P I

    CrunchyMama replied to nikkir386's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm done with A&P now but IMO there's NO way I'd want to take either one in the summer! There's way too much info to be absorbed. I don't even know why they offer it in the summer...yuck! It was...

    CrunchyMama replied to Pre-Student22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    DO NOT GIVE UP!! If it's what you want to do...do it! A lot of people are crappy at math, myself included! I frickin hate math, lol! But it's something that has to be learned for nursing school. Don't...

    books!

    CrunchyMama replied to Stephanieee's topic in General Students

    The bookstore at my school doesn't open until Aug. 3rd so I'm not able to get my books yet. But I do know books run about $1100! It's crazy! I'd like to buy everything online if it's cheaper but my...

    do you type or write your notes?

    CrunchyMama replied to Zoe*aka*studentnurse's topic in General Students

    Do whatever works for you. I don't start nursing until fall but with A&P....I tried typing my notes out but found it worked better for me to write them out again. Good luck!

    Do you think this was rude?

    CrunchyMama replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't think I consider her rude for doing her job. But I do think it's a stupid policy. My high school sent my transcripts for free.

    NEW and have questions!

    CrunchyMama replied to vbmedic52's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Everybody's different. If it were me....I wouldn't. For 1, my school requires biology before starting A&P and for 2, having gone through A&P 1 and 2...take the easiest classes with these....

    CrunchyMama replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    Statistics

    CrunchyMama replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school gives you the choice between statistics and concepts. I chose concepts because it's an easier math class. However....if I decide to go for my BSN, they require statistics. So I'm thinking of...

    CrunchyMama replied to Mandysue1781's topic in General Students

    I seen someone else post about this before. Very nice of you! I think something like...extra pens, gum, midol, extra tampons/pads, and if you're feeling really generous...some extra change for vending...

    CrunchyMama replied to JBGC4's topic in General Students

    CrunchyMama replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's tough! My kids are 5 and 2. I'm out for the summer and start the nursing program in the fall. I'm lucky, when I'm in school my sister watches the kids and I tried scheduling as many classes as...

    CrunchyMama replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know it is overwhelming! I go to a community college and the prereqs I had to take was chemistry and basic math, they also require biology but I took that in high school. Then because of the...

    Is it a wise choice to take these classes together?

    CrunchyMama replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's funny how different schools do things differently. My school requires chemistry before taking A&P1. And requires A&P2 before taking micro, lol. Anyway....I haven't taken micro yet, don't...

    CrunchyMama replied to RetroReactive's topic in General Students

    Only you know your situation. Do you have family to stay with? You and your fiance don't have to go separate ways....if my hubby and I can spend the first 6 months of our relationship 12 hours apart,...

    Question about stethoscopes

    CrunchyMama replied to Tinker Bell RN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I always here people on here say that the more expensive ones are better. My school requires the Littman Classic ll for clinicals. I think the engraving tag is a good idea. I know when I was looking...
