25/50 students failing anatomy avc

[AshlieV]

Hi statistically is this normal for anatomy? my college breaks anatomy and physiology up separately fyi. I cant believe the rate of fails I'm just curious if this is common for college anatomy

It doesn't matter if it is "common". What matters is you need to pass the class. Do not worry about others. It is a mentality and mind set. It doesn't matter if a single person besides you passes. That is not your concern. There is no percentage that "have" to pass a class. If only one person passes BE that person.

I went to a 4 year University. High school to BSN and all science pre reqs needed to be done at my school, they did not accept transfer credits on science pre reqs. If you passed the sci pre requs with a 3.0 and had above a 3.25 overall you were automatically in nursing school...no wait list or application at all.

142 of us started as Freshmen. 67 of us made it into nursing school, and most of those who did not failed out of anatomy. Only 59 graduated, the rest failed out of pharm or med surg

You would have to compare the drop rate of this instructor to other instructors. I am so glad my class had A&P combined. I dont understand why some schools separate the two.

Just do Your work and study you butt off. Yes I went there and those that didn't stay on top of their studying couldn't make it. I'm about to graduate from RN school and because I studied so hard in my prereq's I have done very well. If people can't make it through anatomy and physiology then they aren't going to make it through nursing school. BTW Phys is way harder than anatomy.
