I was terrible at retaining all the muscles in my memory. I pretty much bombed the lab practical, but I still ended up with an A in the class. The funny thing is, I think it was test anxiety because now I find myself able to point them out on myself. You do retain the information, it's just, will you retain it in time for the test? I would suggest you do this. Draw the outline of the human body, a big one, and start sketching in and labeling the muscles. I am a hands on learner and that always helps me. I wish I had done before the practical instead of just staring at my diagrams in my A & P text!

hi,

please let me know do we need to learn the names of all the nerves from the cervical, brachial, lumbar, sacral plexus. like the names of the the nerve from where they originate and what parts of the body they travel. they are so many. how to do it.

hope to hear from you soon.

thank you

We didn't have to. We just had to know the names of the plexii, and all the cranial nerves, locations, and functions.

If you know what textbook to get, then read the objectives at the beginning of each section. This is the book the university of memphis used last summer: Human Anatomy &Physiology Plus MasteringA&P with eText -- Access Card Package (8th Edition): Elaine N. Marieb, Katja Hoehn: 9780321694157: Amazon.com: Books

I love the layout of the text! You could also get the A&P Made Incredibly Easy book. I have it and love it. It's like an outline review of what I already learned. I completely understand wanting to jump in and see what's going to be covered. I will tell you that when I took A&P I in Spring 2012...I had already read chapter 1 and 2 by the time class had started. It made me more prepared for turning in assignments and having time to actually study. Plus I wasn't worried about not having time to read! We had a test every week and had to read 130 pages in the lecture text and about 20-40 in the lab text.

Multiple threads merged. You basically need to know whatever is in your school's chosen textbook and your instructor's syllabus. When you take the nursing classes and ultimately the NCLEX or CRNE/CRPNE anything is fair game. You need to be at least familiar with it all.

please tell me some study tips for pathophysiology.

like there are so many diseases of eye. how do you study those and remember all the sign and symptoms.

like red eye can be due to many reasons and every different reasons for red eye have different symptoms, then diseaes of uvea, retina,

plz tell me are there any you tube videos or link from where you can have better understanding of pathophysiology.

i will be very thankful to you for your precious guidance.

Threads merged again. You need to go to class and review the course outline/syllabus as well as the assigned text book(s). Some schools require pathophysiology others integrate the information into subjects like adult medical-surgical nursing. No one can give you exactly what you will be required to know other than your school/instructors. Emphasis is different between US

& Canada Although both US & CAN are generalist trained (unlike UK where nursing students elect to specialize in adult, pediatric, mental health, or intellectual disabilities unless in a midwifery program). Have you reviewed the course catalog and requirements from your school?

continuing to ask for course content is considered by most schools academic dishonesty and can get you terminated from your school/program.

The requirements for Canada like Beachy said might be different than here in the US and will vary from school to school. It is impossible for us to know what to study for it is all important. Most schools would consider this sharing/asking for test content.

I suggest you look to your classmates or your course outline for the course content and what to study.

Look up Mr. Fords Class on youtube. If you take a few weeks and watch all his videos and take notes, you will leave with a very good idea of what is required information. You can also go to a used book store and pick up an old A&P text book! Good Luck!
