I thought i would come on here and write to you all and describe what i am going through and maybe try to get a little motivation. Ok hear I go. I started college again last fall and took a basic math class along with pysc 106 and english 121. i got a B in math and psyc and an A in english totaling a 3.5 average. I am 25 yrs old and had been out of highschool for awhile, it felt good to get that high of a gpa considering i was always a average C student all threw highschool. Anyway hear i am now knowing what i want to be and do for the rest of my life. i am mature enough now to realize the harder you work the more it will pay off. I just started anatomy I a few weeks ago and my first test is on Monday (chapters 1-4, plasma membrane chapter along with cell tissues and covalent bonds and all that stuff) I feel i am grasbing it but then i feel i am not. i spend almost the whole day and a half on a chapter and still feel i am not ready to move on. Is this what everyone else feels too? is it anxiety? i am trying to comphrend it and study study study but i just still feel i should understand it completly. i dont know. i dont want to give up and i want to become a nurse, but im afraid if im struggling now, isnt it only going to get harder? i am doing great in the lab, just had my first practical on bones (which some say is the hardest) i got an 82. when i was studying for that i was grabing it right away. i feel im a visual learner and when i look at something a few times i can remember where it is.
also if anyone can mention some study tips or anything that can help me understand all this more, id appericate it.
i do not want to give up, i want to go on and pass all the biology pre-reqs. anatomy 2 and microbiology.
thanks again, this site is awsome.
by the way i passed my NET and im going on the waiting list this summer. it is usally 3-4 semesters before acceptance. so all i have to do now is finish my pre-reqs. sounds easy but im sure you all are aware that its not
thank you everyone for your advice. Im going to stick with it and give it my best, thats the best anyone could do in our situations. I wish you all the best. thanks again!
Hi....I know what you're going through! I finished A&P 1 last semester. It was tough! But you just have to eat, sleep and breathe A&P....study and don't stop! What I find that helps and what I'm continuing to do now in A&P 2, is re-writing all my notes out again. Anyway, good luck!
I am also having the same problems....we also had to do the chem. part....now we are on tissues....I did the usually note card making....I have 175+ just for one test....so I am trying something new. I am going to buy a tape recorder and record the lectures and re-listen to them. I am planning on listening to them while cleaning, making supper, working out, driving to and from school etc...... Hopefully I will do better this next test!! I will let you know......
hey, i tape my lectures also and i feel it helps a bit, its really good to just go back and listen again to certain things the professor had said in class that maybe you dont remember. i reccomend the sony digital recorder, it has great sound and you can do a lot with it. i got mine in best buy for 65 but staples had it for a little cheaper. im going to try the flashcards, i think that might help. good luck on your next text. you can reach me on Aim at iccul123 if you need help with anything
