Micro tomorrow!

Nursing Students Excelsior

Wish me luck, don't really know if I'm prepared, but I just want it over with. I'm so over microbiology, I could puke! I hope the real test isn't as bad as the practice test. I got a 60 on the B form. I go over everything and think I have it and then I get to the questions and the way they word things throws me off.

honestly, it's probably going to be a couple weeks now. I work the rest of this week, only have next Weds off, and I have 3 appts that day already. Probably two monday's from now. Guess I better get an A with the extra time!

Haha yeah..

Im currently reading the whole (yes all 42 chapters) of the Excelsior Microbiology study guide and I do the practice exams at the end. I did both EC practice exams and Im studying those also. I also bought sg101 and am studying that as well. And whatever confuses me I refer to my "Microbiology Demystified" book because I find it simplifies things better than all the other material. Oh and I bought Lisa Arends notes to Microbiology from ebay as well.. I use google search too... and I always look up the etymology of the words that I dont understand which usually turn out to be of Greek origin weirdly enough.. Let's see.. am I missing anything?? lol.. Hopefully my obsessiveness lands me an A...

Sounds like you're on track for that A. :) I actually enjoyed reading Micro Demystified! It was a really great little book.

I'm taking mine on Saturday. I've been using vangonotes, study group, cliff notes and microbiology demystified. I didn't do so hot on the practice tests, but I think I'll be ok. I hope.

Specializes in ICU.

I used "The College Networks" module for it (borrowed, not paid for!!!) and thought the test was pretty straight forward. Know the material, you'll pass the test :)
