I am taking mine at Clovis Community College, just in case anyone wants one more suggestion.

Zoowee! Is that out of your study guide or were they on the test? I am on a similar chapter in my course (we use Hole's and are on Chapter 3 - Cells - we go to ch 4 next, which is more Cells, so maybe we go into more depth then) and I recognize some ...

Not an OB nurse (I'm taking pre-reqs) but a veteran of 4 vaginal deliveries (with one I had an epidural that worked on one side of my body but not the other). I cannot imagine resisting the urge to push or bear down. It would be immensely difficult....

First unit was systems and cavities, meaning of the words A&P, history of A&P, negative/positive feedback, characteristics of life, basic stuff like that. Second unit is chemistry - bonds, acids/bases/salts, chemical constituents of cells (e...

I used Marieb my first time around, 16 yrs ago. I have Hole's this time. I think the Marieb was very thorough - can't review Hole's yet as I have just finished ch 1, but I like it so far.

Kind of. I haven't yet decided on Nursing, so I am taking pre-reqs now, knowing that this (health sciences) is a general area of interest for me so they are relevant. Clinical Lab Sciences or Respiratory Therapy, or possibly the accredited MA progra...

I have not. I have looked into it b/c we are 90% likely to be moving to Vegas next year. Its one of several nursing programs in the city so I don't know if it is cutthroat due to the other options. I assume its competitive but not super-competitive....

*shrug* about 22 calendar mos is standard if you do fall-spring- summer off - fall-spring. Technically, anything less is accelerated. Considering 4 mos or so is the standard semester length, a BSN program is about 16 mos of instruction. I am not su...

Yep. And I did not know at the time how fortunate my class was to have cadaver lab. I wanted to take the prosection course (where you actually do the cutting and tagging for the A&P class), and had the As in the class to qualify to apply for it,...

UNLV has a primary BSN program that is accelerated - its still 4 semesters but you go straight through the summer. I believe its about 16-18 mos total. There may be other BSN programs out there that do the same thing. You just need to find one tha...

Funny you mention this. I am re-taking A&P this year. I cracked open my new text yesterday and in the first chapter there are cadaver photos demonstrating the different sections (eg. saggital, coronal...) and, though it has been 16 yrs, the for...

What a great service. I would think this would give the HCP a more (not sure if this is the right way to say it) holistic view of the patient if primary care HCPs were to do more house calls.

We had cadaver lab in my A&P class 15 yrs ago. The bodies were from people who agreed, prior to their death, to donate them to the university. The medical school, of course, got most of the donations, but the undergrad lab had about 3 or 4 cada...

Oh, OK I was confused thinking you were asking about a CMA program to teach at more depth. I think part of it is in nursing programs the techniques and skills are taught along with the rationales and nursing process, yada yada....in the same course....

When I was in my LPN program the instructors told us to remember when observing a procedure to breathe and not lock our knees, and, if possible, stand by a wall in case we felt a little woozy. I guess they had students faint in the OR observing surg...

My answer would be that the program that would teach to that depth is the ADN or BSN.

Me! A&P1. I enrolled after they opened up more spots. I am hoping I won't absolutely need the text this first week, as I enrolled Thurs night and faxed my book order in on Fri morning. They already had charged my CC for the books by yesterday aft...

Thanks. I'm using Hole's 12th edition this fall so its good to hear they have additional help on the website. The internet was a baby when I went to school the first time. No one I knew had a computer in their room. We'd go to the lab to type papers...

Joining this thread :yeah:as of last night. I squeaked in at the last minute after they opened up 25 more seats. Just checked the CC and the tuition and book charges are pending, so they got my online registration and my faxed book order. I am in. C...

I am an AF wife and mom to 4 and wondering the same thing myself. The assignment mine is likely to get next year will have him traveling a lot, plus his hours are never regular anyway. I think the biggest issue is the child care logistics. I don't t...

This is a two-part question! 1. AP2 before AP1? My A&P two-semester course is 15 yrs old. I believe I got an A or A- in it, and hopefully some of the knowledge is still in my brain somewhere. I am planning on re-taking it. I was late to the g...

I agree- check with the school. Might I also suggest that if you don't have to retake the sciences that you pick up a textbook or some sort of reference to refresh your memory. Given the opportunity, I'd retake A&P for sure even if I did not hav...

Yeah I am definitely retaking them. I am just wondering if taking A&P 2 this semester and A&P 1 next term is a recipe for disaster or do-able, esp since I have been exposed to the information before.

UNM. It was a Health Ed 200-level six credit class - I took it in 94?. I just checked the schedule of classes and now its offered as an EMS Academy class only. My class was mostly comprised of Athletic Trainer students, pre-med students, and stude...

Yes! It will torture you! Believe me, I changed majors from BSN to BS in Health Ed years ago and for at least 5 years I have been doing the "what if" dance and trying to figure out if I should go back and try again. I say go for it; prepare ahead...
