putting down the books?

Hello all, I have been in the pre-nursing program at my school for two years now. With work and family it has made it tough for me to go to school full-time, which is why my pre-req and co-req classes have taken me so long to complete. I will be applying for the core classes next semester and going to work part-time to be able to handle the school work load. I completed my Anatomy and Physiology classes during my first and second semesters. This was over a year ago. My question is, with so much time that has passed by should I still be studying that material just to keep it "fresh in mind?" I am in College Algebra and Computer fundamentals as of right now. I just feel like losing that information will hurt me once the core nursing program classes come around. Any thoughts?

Not that you should follow my example, but I didn't review in between. My last A&P course ended in Spring '07 and I started nursing school in Spring '10. It comes back to me as I study different things and know quickly where to go for deeper review if needed. Just concentrate on what you're doing now so you get good grades.

Depends on your textbooks. Mine have A&P reviews at the beginning of each unit that keep me up to date.

I personally didn't study A&P in between pre-reqs and school. I do, however, get out my old books if there is something I don't understand or if something isn't covered in the A&P review section.

My texts all have A&P review in them also, and I was another who didn't brush up between A&P and core classes. You would be happily surprised at how much comes back to you...
