Remembering Pre nursing content.

I did well in my prereqs (A&P1/2 and Micro), 2 A's and a B+ and got into nursing school. I see on these boards that those classes gave you the information you will need to know to prepare you for nursing classes. That's great, my tests were almost all A's and B's. However there was a lot of content in each of those tests and I am sure if I was just dropped some random question about "what muscle is this" on a cadaver now w/o going over the material again I wouldn't know a lot of it. Larger concepts, and parts of the anatomy I of course remember (trace blood flow through the heart, Krebs cycle, sliding filament theory, etc), and it wouldn't be too hard for me go over the things that I have not retained as well and learn them again.

My question is how much of the specifics are you just expected to remember w/o knowing you should be prepared for it? There are a lot of bones, muscles, etc in the human body and if the prof picks one that is less known ones (I know the where femur and the bicep are, but the sternocleidomastoid may be a different story; although I do remember that one) I may not remember off the top of my head because I was tested on it a year ago.

We rarely touched on the subject of anatomy alone throughout school. Yes, you'll learn about diseases and what affects what portions of the body anatomically, but we were never tested straight on anatomy and physiology as that is not what "nursing" is. Don't sweat over not remembering stuff from the pre-reqs. 2 years passed before I started the program and I almost remembered nothing from either classes lol. Maybe the only important thing you need to take out of physiology is the cardiac cycle. Then again, you won't really be focusing on cardiac till later in the program I presume.

you'll be fine if you did well in A&P 1&2. nothing overly specific and there'll be reviews.
