Loma Linda Spring 2012 Quarter! :)

Published

Has anyone applied to LLU for the Spring Quarter 2012? Submitted my application and had my interview...so now the waiting begins :( Is anyone else in the same boat?

thanks for the feedback...my question is how much of the medical terminology book (book to read before we start program) do we have to know?

Oh yeah, I would like to know that too! I know all the flashcards and I'm curious how in depth the test it??

The test has 50 multiple choice questions. I studied by reading and memorizing all of the flashcards, then I did the back of the book questions multiple times too, until i knew those. Everyone passed the medical terminology test, i am not sure how everyone studied, but that is how i studied. so although it seems stressful, don't worry. Be sure you can look at any prefix or suffix in medical terminology and know what it means, and put those together and know what that means. I think that will help you in the test. Also, i would take the time you have now and study for the math for meds test. You have to know the first 14 (it might be the first 15 chapters, i don't remember) chapters in the book. it is not covered in class, so you are in charge of reading it on your own, i believe that test is the first month of school... Also, if you are wondering what books to buy out of that super long list of books, the most important ones, and the ones you will mainly use, are the fundamentals of nursing, the davis drug guide, and the newman model(read this book before school starts also, class will make more sense if you do), and the math for meds book the first two weeks are very busy, so any work you can get our of the way now will make you feel much better the first two weeks.

Congratulations to everyone that got accepted! I am a current first quarter nursing student here at LLU and remember how stressed out and confused about the whole process I was when I was in your spot not to long ago! If you have any questions let me know!

Hello, I was wondering if you are willing to share your stats ? :) Also did you have volunteer or medical experience?
