AH yes! I remember the Nutrition course all too well. :rolleyes: Boring...lots of info to learn...managed to pass it successfully...was glad when it was over. :chuckle

Don't be too hard on yourself. I thought I knew all there was to KNOW about Nutrition, then along came that course in nursing school. :rotfl:

You'll be fine! Breathe...take it slow...don't OVER study the course...get what you can out of the lectures, and just give it your best shot. Sounds like so far you are doing pretty good grade wise. I know...it's a lot of deep material to cover. Just isn't about "eating right" now is it. :chuckle

I can understand your frustration trying to soak up all the info being given to you. I can't really give you any study tips since my experience with Nutrition was extremly weird. Our instructor was a very knowledgeable man, and sometimes went way over our heads. He had a PHD in theology and was the minister at a small church. He had been throuhg medical school and residency and could have been a dr., but opted for religeon. But once he figured how far above us he was going, he actually started using real life scenarios for his teaching. He taught Nutrtion at our school, but also had class he taught in the town he was from. He taught new mothers, senior citizen groups, health workers, and anyone else who wanted to know more. And OMG did he have stories about how various people started living better lives through better nutrition. It was amazing. I know this isn't a lot of herlp, but you seem to have it down except for the pop quizes, and who does LOL Only those who learn from listening and dont study much.

Have A Great Day And Be Safe

ok so it soaked in a little, its the second week of august almost, and we had a final in nursing concepts, I made a 92 for the overall average in nursing concepts, i cant complain, lol only 1 point away from an A that nutrition pop quiz i took and there was another the next day on different materials, i failed em both, so brought my average from an A to a B can u believe a 92 is a B lol sorry just had to get that out....

We are on to A & P now wohooooooooo studied my hiney off this past week to soak in 1 chapter lol, cant wait till clinicals,

I have found it hard to decide which is the BEST answer since there are mostly 2 good answers grrrrrrrrr why do they do that lol

thanks everyone
