   koalas replied to DerAustin's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi! I can tell you from experience and the experience of those around me, it is very possible to overcome these difficulties! You almost sound like my sister who suffered from social anxiety for many years. Although in her case, it was so bad she was...

5. I thought bones were hard

   koalas replied to mbtsab's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The muscles were a nightmare in A&P 1. I'm not sure how the hell I earned a B in that class. A&P II is way more interesting but ugh I'm so stressed out anymore from school. I know exactly how you feel. Very run down especially since I got a 7...

   Thank you for the words of encouragement! I just got a C in anatomy (i'm 18, first semester of college) and it really bummed me out. I lost the battle but I didn't win the war and I'm going to retake it. We have to keep following our dreams! :)

   koalas posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Well, looks like I'm getting a C+ in anatomy at the community college I'm going to. Everyone is telling me not to worry too much but it still does suck to work really hard in a class and have it mean nothing! Can anyone share their experiences of hav...

9. Will a bad test score ruin my grade in anatonmy?

   koalas replied to koalas's topic in Pre-Nursing

   No, I didn't take it the wrong way! :) It was my mistake to take a full time job and try to juggle everything else with anatomy lol I bit off more than I could chew. It's so tough not to beat myself up over the 57 and the sinking feeling I have is go...

    I'm hoping I can bump up my total like you did. I think I'm going to see how this exam goes on Tuesday and if I get an A, I'll feel more hopeful.

15. Starting college in the fall, unsure what to take! In need of advice

    koalas replied to koalas's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I mean, I can always spend my summer studying algebra until I master it. It's just that I'm new to college and if it turns out I don't do well, I don't want to ruin my GPA because my classes are too hard! I'm really nervous about it
