Do I think it's helpful to know the general location of all the bones of the body? Yep, sure do.
Do I think asking about the most obscure landmarks on the bones amount to nothing more than a gigantic hazing exercise, necessitating one to memorize, and then subsequently dump, information I will never have a reason to remember? Yep.
Is memorizing the general location of ll muscles important so one doesn't think, say, the external oblique is in your neck? Yeah, I see that.
Is memorizing the origin and insertion of 100 different muscles useful for anything else besides seeing who will sit down and memorize it before brain dumping it?
And I haven't scored less than a 94 on any of these tests or quizzes. But I am sick to death of the classes being hard for no other reason than the professor can make them that way.
The first 100 pages of EVERY chapter of EVERY nursing textbook goes over AP..... and that's before you get to the 'nursing' portion of each chapter. You'll be assigned 4 to 6 chapters to read every class session and tested once a week. So dont worry so much about AP sticking just yet. School will drill it into you from start to finish.
Haha I should know by now that it will come back to haunt. :)
