Hi, I'm Stephen, and as a nursing student that couldn't figure out how to pass anatomy and physiology I want to share what helped me succeed.
Our local community college has a great (but very challenging) nursing program and I enrolled full-time while holding down a 50 hour/week job. My first semester went great but then -- like so many aspiring nurses -- I hit the brick wall known as A &P.
I studied hard, completed every assignment and re-read important chapters before every test ... but at the end of the semester I was devastated when I received a D in spite of my supernatural effort.
I needed a C+ in the class to progress in the program. I wanted an A. I had to take the class again.
Money was tight for me at the time because I was trying to put myself through school without taking out loans and I had truck payments, a mortgage and other financial obligations to meet every month.
Some friends of mine saw that I was down and suggested that I "just try again." I appreciated that they were trying to be positive and cheer me up, but I didn't want to pay for the class again only to fail in the same way I had the first time.
If something doesn't work I'm not one to throw myself at the same problem in the same way ... I try to find a new approach.
I found one in the Human Anatomy and Physiology Course by Dr. James Ross.
For Anatomy & Physiology at my community college I paid over $425 for tuition and $70 for my textbook. That was the first time. I then paid an additional $425+ to take the class again.
The second time through I bought Dr. Ross' course and used it as a supplement and study guide. I had the same teacher, the same textbook and was offered the same material in class. This time around it made sense because of the 3,000+ pages of diagrams, notes, information and study guides in this course.
Not only did I receive an A+ in the class, I felt confident every day in the classroom and in my lab. After completing A&P I I took A&P II and I'm proud to say that I received an A+ in that class as well!
I'm not an internet guy, but I felt I needed to post this because it helped me and because it's an incredible value. The Human Anatomy and Physiology Course costs only $37 at the time of this posting. I kick myself when I think of the time and money I could have saved if I had this resource the first time I approached this challenging course.
I hope that this testimony helps others struggling like I did succeed the FIRST time.
As a student and as an aspiring nurse I HIGHLY recommend that you visit Dr. Ross' website and purchase his course.
There's a 4-week satisfaction guarantee on your purchase ... something my $70 textbook definitely DID NOT have.
From one nursing student to another, I hope this post and Dr. Ross' course helps you as you figure out how to pass anatomy and physiology with flying colors.
Good luck!
