I don't know how much that would help...he teaches out of three books, talks 100 mph...and it takes forever just to find the many different things he's talking about. Just frustrating. This is like medical school stuff, I don't know how it pertains to nursing.

Thank you though.

ARe you allowed to bring tape recorders to the class? I know when I was at my community college they would provide a tutor if needed (not the teacher), it really helped me a lot.

Hang in there, have confidence in yourself, and GOOD LUCK.

Yeah, I've been tape recording, and trying to keep the notes up, but its like 4 hours worth of lecture time, then to listen to the tapes again and try to write notes on them, its just hard. I just want otu of this class! :smackingf

also, if you have the time, you might want to google in advanced physiology lessons and i'm sure you'll find something applicable to your situation.

then you can figure it out from the comfort of your home, and in your own time...

keep your faith,

Thanks Leslie. I bought a book called "Physiology Demystified" and that helps some, but doesnt' go quite as deep as what he covers. Thanks for all your help. :kiss

I've never been in your exact situation, but I have very good studying skills, and stress coping skills so maybe I can give you some advice. You are obviously very worried, and hate the idea of taking the class, and that mindset is going to make things even harder for you. What I would do, is right this minute, act as if you absolutely do have to take the class. Resign yourself to having to get it done, and you'll lose some of the stress right away. Then start planning. Find others who have taken the class recently and done well...make friends :) If necessary, put up notices asking for a study partner, tutor, or coach. A coach is just someone who's been through it and can be there when you're stressing out. Last of all, get tough, get angry :angryfire That course is the enemy and you're going to fight it and win!

These may sound silly, and not all may work for you, but it doesn't hurt to try it. The right mindset is a powerful thing. Good Luck

Thanks Futurenrse...I've kind of been doing that already. I"m gonna find the sylabus and the point scale and add up exactly what I need for a C and keep a runnng total. I think that will help me too.

I just got an email from my advisor...I'm in a bit of a pickle. I have to make up this advanced physiology class because my ANP credits didn't transfer. This class is HARD HARD HARD..even the MD who teaches it says it should be a 300 or 400 level class.
The class average for the first exam was 69% which is a D...I was still below that, there were at least 3 people I know who got in the 40s, and about 5 or 6 in the class who've taken it before.
So I took this NLN test for ANP a couple times to try and test out of it, I just took it for the 2nd time and I feel like I did much better on it...but I was just told by my advisor that if I don't pass it this time, I MUST stay in the stupid class, and if I stay in and don't do well, my GPA will drop and I'll be bounced from the nursing program. :angryfire
Sorry, just worked up..and the sick thing is I have to wait almost 2 weeks before I hear if I even passed or not. I got Med surg coming up, so I don't know how I can handle two hard classes like this.

I had a class from another school & was told it would not transfer to current school. This was basically the same class except the one from school # 1 was really alot more indepth. I got the syballus, class description & letter from former instructor as to exactly what the class was & what was covered. It was a pain but in the end it transfered. I don't know if this will work for you but if you have not tried its worth a shot. Good Luck

Good luck to you. Pathophys. is on my ciriculum coming up and you're scaring me. Do your best and try to get to much into projection. If you project, project success!
