Manders0624 How was second semester?? Any advice or tips? The instructors say that 2nd semester has the highest drop rate.

I am not going to lie it was really rough. We had a lot of students not make it through. I believe of the students that started with us 11 are no longer with us. It is a lot of work.... a lot!!

my group only lost maybe 4 by the half way point and then maybe 1 or 2 after that. But there were some groups behind me that lost more....second semester was tough. If you can make it through that you will be fine. Third is also a lot of work, but I don't quite as bad. CHA2 is easier than CHA1. When I started (i was part time) we had 8 week classes. Once they went to 16 it was more difficult to remember questions for the cumulative exam at the end of the semester. My advice would be to make great study guides for each test (we always got study guides, but I know some instructors didn't give them. I was on BD campus. We would divide them up btw a few of us and then basically type up an outline of whatever the book had on that topic and what was said in class. so probably like 20 pages worth, but if you divide it up it is doable. Then just read thru that, highlight what you think is most important or that you can't remember etc. ) and then after each test, highlight or make notes of whatever was on the test. It makes it soooo much easier to study for that cumulative. We had someone fail CHA2...she was on the border the whole time and then didn't do well on the cumulative...so yes, I would definitely recommend studying for it :-) Good luck!! You can do it!!!

Do we get Study Guides for Alterations and Promotions from the WB Campus instructors? Someone said not all teachers give them...

Manders0624 · Dec 22, 2013

Both health alterations and health promotions have study guides. Pay attention to any boxes or page numbers the instructor tells you about in class. It will most likely be on the test

Amanda who have been your clinical instructors?

Manders0624 · Jan 2, 2014

I have had Marylou, Pat and Michelle for clinical.

How was the Hospital clinical?? I'm excited to get to that point. I would LOVE to have Marylou for clinical.

Manders0624 · Jan 3, 2014

Who do you have for clinical? Clinical in hospital setting is definitely different. I enjoyed it. It was really fun to do the off unit stuff. However it was a lot of work. More concept maps and data collection tools as well as extensive write ups for off units but overall my favorite so far.
