Straighterline A&P with LAB question....
#1
I am thinking of taking A&P at Straighterline in order to tackle the Excelsior RN bridge program.

I should take this with the lab (though I know I don't have to). My question revolves around the $250 lab kit they make you buy. Has anyone actually taken the course and can you tell me what you actually used from the kit? If all I actually need is a calf brain, some beakers and a couple of slides I would rather skip the expensive kit. Any thoughts?

Here is the kit SL specifies: Straighterline Custom Anatomy & Physiology Version 1 | eScience Labs, Inc. Does anyone have a list of the kit contents?

An alternate (much cheaper) through Amazon: [url=http://www.amazon.com/Chemistry-Lab-Science-Kit-Strips Does anyone have a list of what came in their kit?

My question stems from posts like this one: http://www.degreeforum.net/general-educa...stion.html

If I can figure out an alternate I can keep A&P 1 and 2 with Lab under $200 total I think...part of why I want to try it! Smile

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this).  Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.

Your Amazon link is not working for me, I think I found it here.

Amazon.com: Chemistry Lab and Science Kit - Test Tubes, PH Strips, Agar, Petri Dishes, Slides and more: Industrial & Scientific

The picture of the Straighterline kit shows a piglet. I don't know if you could save money by buying a lab in pieces.

Amazon.com: Carolina Pig Anatomy Kit with Dissecting Set: Industrial & Scientific

One of the body parts in the picture looks like a heart. This lab comes with four different organs.

I found a better link. This website has all kinds of kits.

I'm surprised no one here has information on the Straighterline labs.
