Published

Anyone else starting A&P I at Waubonsee for Spring 2010? I'm enrolled in a Saturday section and was just curious who else may be starting as well.

Just finished AP2. Who is your instructor?

I have Sarathy. Who did you have? What were labs like?

I had Sarathy for 1 and 2. From what hear, she's by far the best. Labs are tough, not going to lie, but if you pay attention, she makes sure you get it. You'll love her.

I don't mind working hard, especially when the instructor is willing to help you succeed. Do you have any advice/tips on the best way to study for her class? I have already picked up flashcards and been familiarizing myself with medical terminology. Do you think recording her lectures would be helpful?

I didn't, I know a lot of people did though. What worked best for me, especially because you only meet once a week, is to read the chapter before lecture, and usually what I didn't "get" from reading she covered in lecture. Your book comes with bunches of online stuff to do, and Dr. Jay also offers quizzes and her lecture notes online. Study groups worked too. When in doubt, ask - I found that most the time, it helped me to hear other people's questions and Jay's answers. Lots of folk have told me this is the series (AP 1 and 2) that separates those who will make it and those that don't. You can do it! :)

Thanks so much for the info and encouragement! This is the first class I will be taking since I got my AAS about ten years ago, so I am really trying to prepare as much as I can.

How about you? Will you be applying to Waubonsee's nursing program soon?

I'm still debating it. Either way it won't be for a year or so, I have little kids so I'm waiting for my youngest to be in school. It's a good program though, from what I hear. Good luck! :)

Jay is great. I had her for AP2 & loved her. She really wants you to succeed & really prepares you for the nursing program. I am in my last semester of the nursing program & looking forward to being done in May. Pretty much everyone I know in the program had to apply twice before getting in, so keep that in mind when applying. The semester I was waiting to get into the program I took the CNA class with Judy Reardanz. Excellent class & teacher. It really prepared me for the nursing clinicals. Good luck!
