Patho

I just took Patho with 4 other nursing courses this semester, including clinical (16-17 hours/week) and I found it extremely difficult to keep my head above the water in that specific course, especially due to my lack of sleep from long nights preparing for clinical. I think I may not have achieved the grade requirement to stay in the program and I will be held back, and put on a wait list to re-enter. I will get my grade back in a week.

Any tips on how to survive in patho in an intensive R.N program? Any stories/testimonies of people like me who have been held back and were accepted back in?

    Nursing school will allow you to take on as much as you want. The trick is knowing your limit. Patho can go down to the molecular level, father than you need to know. Use you objectives to guide you and you'll stay on track. Get the fundamentals down and build from those. I always composed questions related to the content and when I could answer those I felt competent enough. Don't overwhelm yourself and stay in the fight. You take it day by day and don't get discouraged!

    I always tell people that pathophysiology is orders of magnitude easier if you already had a good working knowledge of normal physiology. If you don't feel supremely comfortable with that, an excellent review you can work on over weekends and break is the Physiology Coloring Book, available at Amazon. It will get you in the mood, so to speak, and you'll feel much more grounded.
