how many of you have already started studying for next semester?

i have to come clean! :eek: i have purchased most of my books. i would have purchased them all, but some are not in, yet. in dosage & calculations, i have completed all exercises through ch 4. in fundamentals, i have read the first 3 chapters and completed all definitions, study questions & outlines.

yes, i am a nerd! :rolleyes:

should i be doing anything else? any hints, tips or advice?

I refuse to study over the holidays!!! Actually, I didn't read my book much last semester (tests came from lectures). I did read over procedures before learning them in lab. We got a reading list before we got out for break in case we wanted to read, but I haven't even purchased books yet! I'M RELAXAPATING!!!!:cool: :cool:

Specializes in Cardiolgy.

At the moment I am not stuying, as I am helping my family get ready for Christmas. However as I have an exam in Jan I really should be studying, Its a research paper and I really don't get research.

I don't have any new modules next semester so I have done some prep. for them. I just drop research next semester and don't pick it back up till my final year!

I wish I had enough time to go back to being a proper nerd, but at the moment I am running around like a headless chicken:) I can't wait to get back to uni for a break:eek:

I can't even go to the bookstore until January 2nd! That's when my financial aid comes in. But yes, I would LOVE to have my books so I could study!

I was actually looking up things in my old books last night just to keep up a little and not feel so behind!:D

Julie:)

Got my pharmacology book $2 cheaper online, delivered to my door, than I could get a used one and drive about 45 minutes to the bookstore to get it (PLUS the bookstore would not hold a used copy for me until I could get there, so heck with 'em!)

Check Amazon guys!! Look up your books and then see if it has a "buy it used" button after it. I saved money!! I also found a book that was recommended by one of our nurses here, it's called Life Support. So far it's dynamite. It's not a text, but a book about nursing. It follows an oncology nurse, a home health nurse and I forget what the 3rd nurse does. Gives commentary (sp) on the shortage, etc. (Man, we need a spell checker here!!!)

Anyway, this is NOT and ADVERTISEMENT (Brandy :D) but a helpful hint from a fellow broke student!

I've read the first couple of chapters so far. I've also been checking out the Veterinary Drug Handbook at the hospital. Yesterday I was reading up on Atropine and Epi. Can't hurt! I've got pharmacology on intercession too. We should start a new intercession thread!

Love ya guys,

Cheryl

Cheryl,

Is the author of the "Life Support" book Tess Gerritsen? I just went to Amazon.com, if that is the correct book the used is only .45. wow. Thanks, Marie

Don't forget to check Allbookstores.com. They have over 30 bookstores and will find you the cheapest price! I saved over $100.00 last semester buying online.

I've already read the first 6 chapters for my class that starts Wednesday. That's more out of self-defense, since it's a three week course and we're doing six hours of lecture a day. I'm guessing it's a chapter an hour like all the others have been. Easy stuff, though. Mostly history and background of nursing.

cyberkat, that is so cool what you have done already NEAT !

I don't start again until Jan. 14, have a few books but no syllabuses.:p Happy Holidays!

Guilty!

I have almost compleated the A&P II lab homework for the semester starting January 26th. I found that the homework in API, mostly consisting of a sort of "where's Waldo" type of fact finding in the manual and blurry, non-matching schematic fill-in-the-blanks format, was very time consuming and distracting me from valuble memorization time.

In a few days I'll start on the flash cards for lecture and hopefully have them completed by the start of semester so I can concentrate on Human Developement and Comp I and just have to memorize in Anatomy. It was the preparation of flashcards and the lab homework that seemed to be soooo time consuming last semester.

GO NERDS!
