1. Week 1 and already drowing

   VictoriaxB replied to VictoriaxB's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I thought about dropping a class, but the add/drop period has already passed. Any classes dropped at this point would result in a penalty and a W on my transcript for withdrawal, which will still count as an attempt and will count against me when I a...

2. Week 1 and already drowing

   VictoriaxB replied to VictoriaxB's topic in Pre-Nursing

   So I made some flash cards for the information I'd learned in chapter 1 on Quizlet and when I took the little practice test option it has and the fill in the blank exercises, I was actually surprised at all the stuff I actually knew. I didn't think I...

3. Week 1 and already drowing

   VictoriaxB replied to VictoriaxB's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks so much for all your advice, everyone! I've been studying my notes and diagrams. My boyfriend even let me use him as a diagram by letting me put sticky notes on him to name the medical terms for certain body parts I have to learn. I think I ma...

   VictoriaxB replied to VictoriaxB's topic in Pre-Nursing

   These are all really great suggestions! My professor does give us lecture and lab study guides that I've been reading over. I've been taking all my notes in a notebook though, so I guess I'll need to get some loose leaf paper! I definitely want to tr...

5. Week 1 and already drowing

   VictoriaxB replied to VictoriaxB's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Oh my goodness, this is exactly how I feel right now! I remember on Wednesday after class, I was already thinking, "am I even smart enough to be a nurse? I'm already overwhelmed in the first week!" But you're right. I think I just need to get in a gr...

6. Week 1 and already drowing

   VictoriaxB replied to VictoriaxB's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I've been so confused because I've heard people say that I should be "learning" the material and not just memorizing it. But if it's all just memorization, I'll just do that then. Seems a whole lot easier that way since it's just a bunch of terms! A...

7. Week 1 and already drowing

   VictoriaxB replied to VictoriaxB's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I actually JUST downloaded quizlet! One of my classmates just texted me about it and said that's what she was using to study all of our vocabulary, so I'm going to make flash cards and study from there. I think I just need to get back in the groove o...

8. Week 1 and already drowing

   VictoriaxB replied to VictoriaxB's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yes, I have planner. I carry it with me religiously! And I probably do need to manage my time better. I've been trying to split my time up evenly among my classed (A&P and Statistics are on campus while English and Psychology is online), but it s...

   Hi everyone, I'm super stressed right now. Classes started on the 21st and I have my Anatomy and Physiology class on Mondays and Wednesdays. It's only been a week (in regard to the class) and we've only gone over one chapter and I'm already so overw...

10. Best way to prepare for A&P?

    VictoriaxB replied to VictoriaxB's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Wow, thanks so much for that insight. I suppose I'm just overthinking as usual, but I tend to be a perfectionist and want to give myself the best chance of succeeding. I'll definitely look into forming a study group or finding a tutor. I'm sure I'll ...

11. Best way to prepare for A&P?

    VictoriaxB posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I tend to be a huge planner and like to get a head start on things when I have a feeling they may be a little difficult. I'm taking Anatomy & Physiology I in the fall and am trying to get a head start so that I'm not super overwhelmed. I've been ...

12. Am I On The Right Path?

    VictoriaxB replied to VictoriaxB's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks! I guess I was a little confused based on some of the YouTube videos I watched. Some of the people in nursing school was talking about specializations, so I thought it was something you chose in nursing school.

13. Am I On The Right Path?

    VictoriaxB posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hi everyone! I'm starting my prereqs in the fall to try to get into my community college's nursing program. My end goal for nursing is to become a CRNA, so I planned to do an RN/BSN program afterwards. When I contacted the school I was interested in ...
