Hi jamienora! What really helped me in lecture was using a recorder and printing the powerpoints. I would record and take notes during class and then make even more notes at home after relistening to the lectures. I would even listen to my recordings throughout the day, while driving, and at night. For lab i again recorded, this time using a video recorder of my professor going over the models. I also made sure that i had plenty of time myself looking at them. It might help to go to an open lab too if you feel like you still arent getting it. Mneumonics will be your best friend in A&P and nursing. Good luck!
