Starting A&P I in January

Published

I am so excited about starting :) but am scared at the same time :unsure:. I do have some questions so PLEASE bear with me.

I haven't been to school in YEARS! (I'm 35). I do realize that my life is about to change. I have 3 sons (a 17 year old who is graduating high school in May, yet is captain of the basketball team, has a job and will be going off to college this coming fall; a 13 year old and a 9 year old), my husband works in another state and I have NO family to help me as they live 2 hours away. What advice can be given to me and my situation? How can I find balance in all of this?

Also What is the best option Buying books new or used and did you keep them when you were done? My sister who is a nurse in Alabama said she rented hers. Is that a good option?

I bought the book and kept it! I found myself referring to it during patho! A&P is not hard, but it's not easy. Dedicate times for reading and studying the material. Stay ahead of the game! You can do it!!!

I agree -- I constantly used my A&P book during Patho... Also a thing you might consider is that my program used the same text for A*P 1 and A*P 2.. if you rent it twice might as well buy it.

Thanks everyone! I think I will buy the book since I will be referring back to it anyway!
