i have been studying for two exams each with 6 chapters and my head is hurting. i have been doing it in 1 1/2-2 hours intervals and breaking for 30 minutes to an hour since last week.

i scanned the chapters, read the chapters and underscored the main part of each section and now i am "studying".

i still have 3 other classes and assignments in each. i did finished one of these.

how are you studying?

I am having a big problem with the lab too. We have more students this year than usual & we all need to be checked off on our skills before clinical starts. It's almost impossible to find an open lab time to just practice. Even our exams have to be taken on our own time. I'm done venting now :) Thanks!!

"even our exams have to be taken on our own time. " what exams lisa?

Stephany, we have an exam every week in theory. We have to go to the lab during our own time to take it. We have a whole week to do it, but I have to womder how many people are cheating. The person taking it on Monday could always tell someone what the questions were. It's had to schedule everything, but I'll just manage :) I will be a nurse! I will be a nurse! I will be a nurse! (OK, I feel much better now!!! :) )

hummm, i see. we do it as a class unless someone is doing an excused make-up. hang in there.

I find studying very hard. There is so much to read this week that I don't know where to start. My professor gave us a tip on how to study by scanning the syllabus first then scanning the chapters to see exactly where those particular topics are. Then just read and concentrate on that part of the chapter. You don't necessarily need to read in depth the whole chapter
