regarding how to study for the boxes...personally i am a terrible note taker (which i need to improve) i read the boxes until i got a full understanding, however, if writing things down help you by all means do it! Never let anyone tell you that asking others how they study is stupid. ask a lot of questions!!! ask those who are scoring high...sometimes they may know of study tips that you never thought of and come to find out they may work for you. in this program you cannot be closed minded; instead be the opposite.

and yes, that video on youtube you will need to know (at least for central). which is why i said if you are familiar with the cranial nerves even if its just knowing them and how to test for them you'll be ahead of the game. physical assessment will take up about 15-20 minutes out of the 45 mins you get of your return demo. other skills are involved, but those you will learn in lab and aren't so difficult. start thinking patient safety! at least three side rails up for the bed and at lowest position before you leave the room and hand hygiene....drill that in your brain.

chapters in process I (please keep in mind i have no idea what summer is like so consider that before following any of my suggestions)

activity and exercise

patient safety

infection control

hygiene

vital signs

specimen collection

physical assessment

communication

critical thinking

the nursing process (nursing process in the Perry book 9th ed are chps 16-20)

self concept

sexuality

spiritual health

documentation and informatics

cultural awareness

sleep

sensory alterations

nursing today

healthcare delivery system

health and wellness

the experience of loss, death and grief

ethics and values

legal implications

hello all,

I, too, applied for January and was not accepted. Retook a class at Keiser and raised my GPA to a 3.6 from a 3.0. I see a lot of you are reading and I'd like to start the Perry Potters book. Can anyone tell me the correct book and edition etc to get? Ive been holding out on books because I was scared to purchase to wrong edition and need to re-purchase. But now I'm feeling behind, someone please let me know. Thanks!

ok. some of the boxes that I looked at was like hmm thats kinda common sense or I realted what was in the boxes to my life or things thats happened around me if that makes sense. Others were like Ok i need to write this down. Yes i like to write because it helps it register in my brain. I think asking how others study could benefit someone because like you said you could find something that really works for you. I will defiantly ask question to whomever I see. With what I hear everyone say this first semester is the hardest. I have to pass this for my kids so I'm doing whatever I have to do. please don't tell me all of those chapters are for the first exam. I will die lol.

those chapters are for exams 1, 2, 3 (of course summer may be different)

exam 4 is cumulative. basically all the chapters for process I

don't get discouraged. you will witness a lot of crying, complaining, etc...some people will be in a funk don't join them in their funk. just take a deep breath and refocus.

remain positive, make friends who are positive and study hard!!!
