I wish we worked on cadavers versus books. That's pretty amazing. I'm 32, this is my 5th semester and I have one kiddo, a small farm, work part time and commute about 100 miles a day to make all this work....it's hard but what's harder? The guilt of not reaching your potential or the struggle of making it work? You've got this!!

Yea, I have a B in anatomy (lab) and a B in lecture (physiology)

I ended up with a B in anatomy and a B in physiology.

How exciting. I wish my area had more forensics and pathology courses, or any for that matter. I'd love to know how it goes!!!

That's what I'm working on now, trying to figure out my learning style. I'm hoping taking a different professor for AP2 will help. And that's it, I can recall portions but not concepts and more detailed ideas every time. I'm going to take one less class and give it even more time next semester. Thank you for the encouragement.

Did you learn to walk the first time you tried? Speak the first time you heard a word? Ride a bike the first time you saw one? No. It's new to me, I'm an older student, I'm doing it. Thank you for your concern. Are you asking me if I want something more than the possibility of me being able to do it? I don't live a life that uses the word try, hope, wish, dream, I live a life that's simple, "did or didn't" it's all there is. I am doing it. I am succeeding at it. I'm 32 and a first generation college student, I just finished a year and have my first B (I'm hard as hell on myself and have A's up to this point) I sat in a room where kids with bio and Chem backgrounds dropped and I held out and put in time. Could I of done more? Sure. We all can. All I inquired about was how things looked from here. I don't need someone encouraging me to quit because they have made a radical assumption about my ability in a program. I'm confident in my ability to weather far greater obstacles than this. I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to comment.

Congrats on getting in!!!! You're doing the BSN program? I wish they had more information on it for those of us looking at the program.

Thank you. You're right, it isn't easy, I do have a family, a job, run a rescue farm and drive at least 100 miles a day to make it all happen. Assumption is such a weakness for some people. I'm not taking it personally..... With that aside, thank you again! I wish I had been advised to take a prep course prior to the class but I wasn't. Now I know what I do and plan to take one less class next semester to help free up even more time for physiology. Fingers crossed. Not happy about derailing the plan a bit but I'd rather have a grade I can be proud of than one I wish I could retake!

Thank you. I'm 32 years old and this person has my life figured out.

Assuming is never, ever an educated way to do anything. With anatomy I logged a minimum of 2 hours, this was the minimum, most days were 2-3 prior to class and at least 2 after, lab was once a week but I was in the learning center with models daily, I have the logs to show this? Physiology: class 3 times a week, online modules 3-5 times a week (2 hour minimum each) and I recorded my lectures, took notes during, replayed the lectures and rewrote my notes after. This reviewing power points and additional material. Your assumptions are astonishingly inaccurate. I have been out of school for 12 years with no bio or Chem background. I struggle with concepts in physiology but have done pretty well for someone in my shoes. Thank you for your encouragement!

Wonderful! [emoji35]

That's my biggest issue. I'm at Tallahassee community and can't repeat a class that has a C or better.....this policy is killing me. I was A's until this semester.

Just getting grades back. My anatomy is at a B, Physiology C, am I doomed at this point?

Thank you for the encouragement. I am truly grateful for it. This is a challenging journey but I'm doing it. These next couple of weeks are going to be anxiety filled!

Don't apologize for seeking advice! That's what the forum is here for :) I was out of school for about 12 or so years before starting college for the first time, yikes! This is my 4th semester. I am taking AP 1 lab and lecture with stats2 and my last history course, thank goodness! I would of prefered to take AP on it's own as I've found physiology challenging, but I was advised over and over it would be ok. I'd say no. For me personally at least. Next semester I am slated to take AP2 lab and lecture with humanities 1 and another math. ugh... I am hoping they release the schedule for summer and I can see about taking physiology alone then. We shall see! Good luck in whatever path you choose!
