Hi all! I have been accepted into HACC's pre-nursing program for the evening/PT program in Lancaster, and I just met with my adviser. I already have a Bachelor's Degree (in Psychology) from a previous college, so a number of my general education classes are already completed. Applications for clinical in 2015 can be submitted in February & December. If I don't apply until December, it looks like I'd wind up graduating an entire year later. However, my conundrum is that I would have to take A&P I this summer '14 so that I can take A&P II in Fall '14 and be able to apply in February 2015. The course offering this summer for A&P I is from 6-8:30 or 8:50 (varies), four days a week. I work a 40-hour job, every day from 9-5:30. From your experience, would this schedule be doable to maintain for 2 months and come out with a decent grade in the course? Thanks so much in advance for your advice/feedback! :)

I am looking into nursing schools in my area (Lancaster/York, PA) to attain my RN. I am very interested in HACC's program, and I am wondering if their A&P I&II courses use animal dissection. The Admissions contact I spoke with said he didn't think so, but I want to know for sure. I am a vegetarian and this is something I am morally opposed to. PA College of Health Sciences apparently dissects sheep eyes and brain, and fetal pig lungs, so I am probably ruling them out. Any information from students who've taken the class much appreciated!
