I'm in an accelerated program. I haven't kept track on how many hours I study this semester, but I do study every weekend with a study group and we probably get in a good twenty hours over the weekends alone. I've tried a variety of different studying techniques. From making flashcards, to reading the book and taking notes. I've found what works best for me is making pathophysiology statements based off of the powerpoints from my lecture classes. Anything that's information not pertaining to a patho statement gets written below it as notes. For instance with a Patho on hip fractures, if there's information on tension that I want to expand on I will write it below the patho statement. This works really well for me with Medsurg material. I'm also taking psych at the same time and I honestly just read the book for that course after lectures, because the chapters are short and simple to get through in comparison to Medsurg. It's the course I've been making the best grades on, but I've always had an interest in psychology and have read material relating to psych for years, so I had that advantage going into the course. I think that prior knowledge is one reason why there's such a divide in how long people study, and how one class might be simple for someone but a struggle for someone else.

I GOT IN!!! Let's all get through this program and excel!

Also if it's ok could you send me those powerpoints as well for review? My email is [email protected]!

I was going to chime in on this, definitely take Pharm if you get to choose between the two classes! It really is a ton of information! I'm definitely going to be reviewing my Pharm notes over the Summer! Those notecards look super helpful, I had a set I bought when I was taking A&P that were lifesavers.

Hi all! I had my interview today and I don't think I've been so nervous my whole life! I couldn't sleep at all and had practiced answers but when my questions came about I froze up on the last portions of them! Here's hoping we all did well and get into the program!!
