Practical Nursing Program (FLEX) @ Centennial College - fall 2014

Hello all,

I am a Student registered for Centennial College's, Practical Nursing flex program.. I start in the fall (September 2014) and I am so nervous.. I've read on-line and have seen many comments about how hard anatomy and physiology is along with all the memorizing.. do you have any tips or tricks? also if you have taken this course at Centennial, how was it?

Anatomy and physiology is a lot of work - My best advice is to start studying for your tests early! (So early that you kind of feel silly). I started studying well in advance and that allowed me to only have to do a little bit of studying each day, rather than big study sessions right before the test. I think it actually makes the class a lot easier to handle if you structure it like that.

Chances are, you'll do great. You obviously care enough about it to make a post on it so I think you will be just fine. Usually grades are a direct reflection of effort. We can all do well in the classes, it's just a matter of if you are willing to put in the work and by the sounds of it you are :)

Good luck and congratulations on getting into your program!

Thank you for the advice! Which textbooks would you suggest to start studying from? Or are there any videos online that i could watch to help me?

I graduated from the same program you're about to start in. Memorizing will barely get you a passing mark. You need to develop or enhance your studying methods/learning style that works efficiently for you. I found mind mapping and diagrams helpful along with watching videos on youtube to explain more challenging or difficult areas. Anatomy and physiology are taught as separate units/systems when in fact they are all working at the same time to maintain homeostasis. The anatomy and physiology course at Centennial has short answers and that forces you to have to memorize terms and keywords because if those keywords or terms are missing you will not get full marks.

You should do police checks as soon as possible because they can take a long time to come in.

Goodluck!!

Thanks for the tips, so does this mean we get to choose our schedule? Also if you dont mind me asking where were your clinical? Thanks :)

Hey! You're starting rpn flex at centennial too this fall? I was hoping to find people here that would start in the fall! it would be nice if you could share some tips!

Hey!! I got an offer from centennial for rpn flex. I am not too sure if i want to accept it because i heard the program is from sept to august. So no summer break. Its also 6 semester which means it costs way more than just rpn. but there are less courses in each semester. This is good because its less stressful. Can you guys please tell more about this program? I don't know a lot about it.

I am very confused of what to do. Thank you
