Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

So I took my first exam last Friday, I didnt so well. I got A on practical however, lecture I got 63%. I sat there and cried. I studied so hard and I couldn't believe my grade. I wasn't the only one. The professor posted grades as spreadsheet with student numbers and the class average was 67%

I do not want this to happen again. Im already starting to study for our next lecture, which is the skeleton system and covers 3 chapters. Exam is in two weeks. Im freaking out because there is so much to learn. What can I do besides practicing on wileyplus, attending lectures, studying and reading?

Any input would be great. What did you do to study this class? How did you study? Tips are appreciated. Thanks in ahead.

I just wanted to thank everyone who gave me advice. I took exam 2 two weeks ago and I got 92%. I was so happy.

As soon as I finished last exam, I was already preparing flashcards in form of questions to study. I also watched lots of YouTube videos, read the chapter, notes and power points. Went through study guide and made sure I got everything mentioned it. Im doing the same now for the next exam. I underestimated how hard this this subject is so I'm glad I got system down that works.

Just keep going! The worst thing I kept seeing repeatedly in our A&P classes was burnout! People would do sooooo well, then just take a week off. That week screwed up their grade so badly that they had to drop the class. We started A&P I with about 100 students and ended A&P II with closer to 40. This is definitely a class that weeds out those who can't handle the pressure. Keep pushing! :D

Okay. I took him for A&P 1 and 2. For his practicals I would put his images in plastic paper slips and use a dry erase to practice. That is the best way to ace the practicals. I failed his bone exam. That was my one dropped score. I would recommend watching YouTube videos for thise. But he goes over the skeleton a ton of times.

Yeah ge is tough a bit but he is good. Slides kill me sometimes. I practice but when spelling counts it counts against me though. Good news though. I got 97% on my lecture exam on nerves. I have never been so happy. Lol
