hello sammi

On Thursday I had my first exam in A&P 2. I studied, I made flashcards, I had friends I studied with, I did my very best given the circumstances, and I got a 65%. This exam was worth 10% of our overall grade..... I'm crushed. I just got done bawl...

taking two courses this summer - Chemistry 111 and College Algebra [Math 121]. Debating on whether I should add Bio 111 to that or not... good luck to you all this summer, and enjoy your break in the meantime!

Had my final on Tuesday and the final practical last week. A on the practical C on the final B overall in the class I am really proud of it because I struggled all semester with this class. My gpa is in tact! woo hoo!

FINAL UPDATE ** I stopped getting online [for the most part] so I wasn't able to update you all. As the semester progressed I continued to get D's on every single regular exam No matter what I did, no matter how I studied, I still got D's. However, ...

Just about done with my pre-reqs. I'm one semester away from beginning my core nursing classes, and I'm looking for the best way to A) get my schooling paid for, and B) come out of school with a career that will enable me to take care of my daughter....

I haven't forgotten about this thread! Thank you all for your suggestions. The practical went a lot better than I expected - I got an 85%. Our professor is also pushing back Exam 2 until AFTER Spring Break so I'll have an extra undisturbed [well...ki...

Thank you all for your responses! You all don't know what this means to me. I will take everyone's advice from here on forward. I just pray I do remotely well on the Practical since it's worth 10% of my grade too. Please, all the positive vibes and p...

I have a tape recorder somewhere in my storage. I'll have to dig it up! That's a really great idea!

Thanks Jen! He gives us the opportunity to meet with him and go over the exam, so I'm gonna take advantage of that and find out exactly what I did wrong. I'm glad you were able to pull up your grade. I'm also hoping to at least pull a B out of this c...

My husband is at Fort Carson as well. I'm even considering witching my major from pre-nursing to pre-pharmacy...The PharmD program is a lot less competitive [in comparison to nursing]. It's really rough for nurses out here. How long have you been her...

oops I almost forgot. The exam was on 5 different chapters. Neural Tissues, structures and functions, The CNS and Spinal nerves, The Brain and cranial nerves, The ANS, and a portion of the Endocrine System. And the questions weren't straightforward....

Thank you both for putting things into perspective for me. You both don't know how much your words have helped. I need to commit to studying harder, for longer. Now that I've calmed down, I realize it's not the end of the world. I've been getting B'...

Hello all my fellow future nurses! Right now I'm in A&P 2 [along with a few other classes], and we're going to dissect a sheep brain tomorrow! I am at a huge disadvantage - outside of a worm in middle school, I've never dissected anything! I am n...

Ah! Understood! Well, we must get to know one another better so your humor isn't lost on me =] A lot are probably touchy because you're right about the job market. super competitive and limited. It's really depressing! I didn't mean to jump down you...

Glad to hear everyone is progressing well and that we're all in similar spots in the curriculum. I'm taking a full course load that includes English. Sometime's when I'm typing a paper I find myself replacing A&P words for others. I'm knee deep ...

Also! I wanted to post up what's been burned into my brain: ON - Olfactory - I OLD - Optic - II OLYMPUS'S - Occulomotor - III TOWERING - Trochloear - IV TOPS - Trigeminal -V A - Abducens - VI FIN -Facial - VII AND - [Auditory] Vestibulocochlear - VII...

Wow! It's been a minute since I've updated this thread so I thought I'd bring it to everyone's attention so we can check in! In our class we've dissected the sheep brain, and the cow's eye. We also got to hold and play with a human brain! It was real...

I know I'm late, but if you have children you are NOT a dependent and you do NOT have to use your mother's income. Right now, the Federal Government is paying for my education.

Stay away so those of us here can find work.... really?? I don't want to be an ******* so I'm going to assume you're joking.

We're actually doing a cow's eye on Tuesday and then an ear the week after that. I'm very nervous about it, but this stuff is so fascinating to me. very excited!

So we got to actually cut the sheep brain, and our professor had two human brains for us to play with and touch! I almost dropped the human brain [oops lol!]. But class was super interesting. I felt like I was having a hard time remembering where eve...

I took A&P during the summer, so the course was condensed down to 8 weeks I was pregnant at the time and missed ONE class because of a kidney infection. That one day I missed lead to my grade going from an A to a C. Thank God I was able to pull ...

I'm in the Springs...Trinidad is a little too far for me, but good to hear there's a school with openings down there! Good luck in your roommate hunt and with school!

Classes start for me on the 16th. I'm carrying 14 units A&P 2, English 121, Math 100 [it's the second from the bottom, so I'm in the same boat as the OP], and Psych 101 I am also super nervous/excited/anxious to get started. I have a little girl...

Great article that sheds a lot of light on an often overlook specialty. Thanks for broadening my perspective - I will keep this in mind when it's time to complete my psych clinicals =]
