Important Yet Unnecessary: Nursing Students' Perceptions of Anatomy and Physiology Laboratory Sessions

Anatomy and physiology is one of the major bioscience concepts integrated within the undergraduate nursing curriculum. The current research surveyed nursing students' perception of the laboratory sessions for their anatomy and physiology course. The results revealed positive student perception toward laboratory sessions particularly on how the sessions' format and delivery complement student learning of anatomy and physiology. However, nursing students find laboratory sessions unnecessary to pass the anatomy and physiology course.
