Diffusion and osmosis stuff is important to remember. Any fluid and electrolyte stuff. Remember cardiovascular and respiratory stuff; and urinary is an area where there seems to be difficulty in. I hate to say everything. But really you don't need to remember everything to the depth you need to know it in A&P. It will come back to you even if you think you've forgotten it.

Any and all concepts you struggled with. You won't have time to go back and relearn everything on top of what's being taught in nursing school!
