  1. Micro, Chemistry, and AP I (two in one semester)

    QuarterLife88 replied to nnicolee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just finishing up this semester, I had A&P 1 and chemistry together (with nothing else) and I felt like a lot of my time was occupied. Not so much for chemistry, but for anatomy. I could go a few...

  2. Help with prereqs(Anatomy and physiology)

    QuarterLife88 replied to tiffjh2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hardest? Defninitely muscles for me. It's not hard to figure out where they are on the body from a diagram or learn the tissue make-up and even muscle contraction is not that hard to understand, but...

  3. Did anyone here who is or has taken A&P 1 had to memorize

    QuarterLife88 replied to MarieFitz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lucky you. We had about 90 to memorize. O, I, and A (action).

  4. Did anyone here who is or has taken A&P 1 had to memorize

    QuarterLife88 replied to MarieFitz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our teacher gives us huge powerpoint packets with all the muscles and such that she wants us to memorize, but we only ever get tested on 1/8 of it, tops. I spent about 2 years (or so it felt like)...

  5. Did anyone here who is or has taken A&P 1 had to memorize

    QuarterLife88 replied to MarieFitz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have no idea what the class average is on this one, sadly. She pretty much just showed me and someone else our grades real fast after she explained Wed.'s lab to them. We talked to her about some...

  6. Did anyone here who is or has taken A&P 1 had to memorize

    QuarterLife88 replied to MarieFitz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Saundra, you are in my class!!! LOL I don't know who you are exactly, but we have the same teacher at OCC and took the same test today! I stayed after, got my grade, and got a 91. She's adding 2 extra...

  7. Not sure if nursing is for me

    QuarterLife88 replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm just guessing, but it seems like maybe the professor you have now, really soured your confidence - I've been there. This is my second time in a chemistry class (and I'm finally getting an A!), but...

  8. Things you'd like to say to your fellow classmates

    QuarterLife88 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I stole this from the general nursing student board. I know we are all in pre-reqs right now, but the cattiness has already begun as I have noticed in one of my classes (A&P). So if you have a few...

  9. Anatomy flash cards

    QuarterLife88 replied to kmj1228's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have them. They've helped me, along with my book and human atlas that came in the bookstore. I flip them over and quiz myself. It's actually really good practice because it's harder as I don't have...

  10. Hey PreReq-ers, how is Fall Semester going so far?

    QuarterLife88 replied to espo44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Halfway through, and have all A's, but I'm so sick of this routine. UGH, cannot wait until Winter Break so my brain can take a

  11. Pre-Nursing students what has been

    QuarterLife88 replied to anon321d's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P is really time consuming for me, so in that way, it's hard because there is so much to memorize and keep straight. I'm getting an A, but I'm busting my butt for it (I honestly don't get how...

  12. What are my chances???

    QuarterLife88 replied to amandabrown23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I were you, I would take both A&P's over again, and the Pharm as well. I don't know about your school, but at mine there are only 216 seats, and you need at least a 3.6 to get in. Even if your...

  13. A&P 1: The Skeletal system

    QuarterLife88 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, On Mon my class is starting chapter 6 of the Marieb 8th edition book, which is bones. Just curious - how long did it take you to learn all of the bones? I have been doing great in class so far -...

  14. Someone please tell me how to survive A&P (and other questions)

    QuarterLife88 replied to nohika's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have an A&P right now (along with chemistry that also has a lab), and the first day I walked into class, I was scared out of my mind. I kept reading/hearing horror stories. It's not that bad. I...

  15. Pre-Nursing Students: Enter here for a second to scream and let it out.

    QuarterLife88 replied to smellyacres's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yup, I cannot wait until Winter break. Heck, bring on Thanksgiving even though it's only like a two day break and I'll still have work to study. I'm sooo tired. I'm never doing morning classes again,...

  16. I passed!

    QuarterLife88 replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! I'm glad you found a method that worked for you in order to pass! I remember when my mom had classes in which she would start out with a D and make it all the way up to an A-, so it can be...

  17. Tissue Types Help AP!

    QuarterLife88 replied to mrsb04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to agree - study, and you'll get it. I have an exam on that next Monday, and I'm ready. I've been ready since the day we started learning it, because that is the day I started reviewing. This...

  18. A&P 1: The Skeletal system

    QuarterLife88 replied to QuarterLife88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    WOW. I think those latter chapters are for A&P 2. We usually do 1-3 chapters over a two week time period in lecture. So I have about 2 1/2 weeks to study before an exam. Which is enough time for...

  19. A&P 1: The Skeletal system

    QuarterLife88 replied to QuarterLife88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks guys! Tomorrow we officially start the skeleton. I already put in about 2 hours a day for study in this class so hopefully I can keep along the same track and retain my A average. I'm pretty...

  20. A&P 1 students,,,, How ya doing?

    QuarterLife88 replied to crazytonurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got a 98 on my first test! Class average was a

  21. Biology before Anat 1

    QuarterLife88 replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took regular Bio one semester before starting A&P and it did give me an adavantage - at least when it came to the first three chapters. Without it, I would have been blind. The first three...

  22. A&P I is not going well

    QuarterLife88 replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No offense, but a lot of nursing classes, and pre-reqs will be nothing but reading based. There simply is not enough time to allow for a teacher to lecture every single point from the book. Some are...

  23. A&P 1 students,,,, How ya doing?

    QuarterLife88 replied to crazytonurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So far, GREAT. Just had my first exam today (we started class on 9-8-09) over chapters 1-3 in the Marieb 8th edition book. I can guarantee I got an A on this test, though I won't know for sure until...

  24. A&P, Chemistry, and Nutrition - Too much?

    QuarterLife88 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi. This fall I am currently taking A&P 1, Nutrition and Chemistry. This is 11 credit hours. I go to school, 4 days a week, Tuesday being my only long day. I'm not working and have no kids/spouse....

  25. What to do between now and starting pre-reqs?

    QuarterLife88 replied to blondielocks's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there! I'm 21 as well. I really didn't do anything. I took regular bio this past summer and that really helps with A&P, because I swear, the first 3 chapters are nothing but a Bio/Chem review....
