I got a B

Published

in Pharmacology. I know I studied my butt off, and I am so thankful for that grade. I was pretty sure it was going to be close, but I didnt know what I got on my final. I will go over and pick up my grades Wednesday, but the grades were posted online today. Now I can go get some :zzzzz. My prayers were definitly answered.

I still plan to keep the book and go back through and study over all the info at a less stressed pace. I know medications are one of the most important parts of being a nurse.

:balloons: Congratulations! Do you have any words of wisdom for those of us starting pharmacology next month (fall semester)? Did you record the lectures? If not, do you wish you would have? What textbook did you use and did it come with a study guide?

Congrats! I'm pretty scared about pharmacology, so I agree.... any tips you can pass on would be greatly appreciated.

I am too excited to sleep. Maybe tonight.

I did tape the lectures, but with only 5 weeks, there wasnt enough time to really listen enough to let it sink in. A long 16 week semester will be so much better because Pharmacology just has too much information to learn in 5 weeks. I wish I had taken it over a long semester. I am definitly thankful the pressure is behind me.

I will say this. I wasnt able to sign into allnurses very much, and I hardly left the house. It was a very trying month. Thankfully I have a few friends who called and encouraged me to keep going, and I got breaks that way. Even taking it alone was just too much. They are going to make it a whole summer class from now on. I think that is best.

Good luck!!! You can do it. It is a great class, and honestly, I am so glad I took it. I do know that I have a real interest now and I want to learn all I can.

I just hope so badly I can apply this next Spring and get in for next Summer.

Congratulations!

I took Pharmacology online last semester and it was tough. I got an A by studying like crazy and of course, flash cards! You really do need to study every day for that class.

Thanks. I went and got my grades and I had an 88.4. Only 1.6 points away from an A. I probably would have gotten an A if I had taken it in a 16 week semester, but I only had 5. There were several A's in the class though, but I am happy with my B.

If you know the medications and what they treat, side effects, etc, you will do good.

I am studying over some of the material I am still unforsure of. It really is a great class to take and I am very glad I did.
