It might be the subject or grading difficulty of the teacher. Take my human anatomy teacher for example. I studied my butt off for the first exam and got an 84% (I'm a good student and was less than happy). After I found out the class average was a 56 I let up on myself but gained an understanding on how I needed to apply my time differently to be successful on the tests. Talk to your teacher and ask if he/she has any advice. Most teachers enjoy enthusiastic students!(although not all loll) If you don't feel anxiety during test taking for your other courses and you have no previous history I would most likely dismiss it. At the same time if you keep telling yourself you have test anxiety you might end up developing it! Try and determine why you're not doing as well as you'd like (study strategies, data retention, not answering questions the way your teacher wants) and install new methods to guarantee your success. Good Luck!

Awesome! There are a ton of good dirty ones, whatever works! Mnemonics are great, I personally am very lofty minded (for lack of a better work) and enjoy making stories for areas or markings. My most recent one is for the lacerum foramen lateral to the spinosum, ovale and rotundum foramina. I imagine a runner who laces break during a race and sees an old drinking buddy along side the course. The runner yells for help to the man holding a bottle of rum. The inebriated man points and questions you want some rum? So the runner is yelling out laces and the man is questioning rum? I know it's super long but I laugh thinking about it.

Hey Everyone! Thought I'd create a thread on useful tricks to remember difficult aspects of human anatomy. What worked for you??

I'm applying for positions now so we'll see. Thanks for the advice Christine! One more question, would a CNA be more beneficial then becoming an ER tech? I don't have my CNA certificate but obtaining one isn't difficult or time consuming. Any advice?

I recently obtained my emt-b certification, starting on the paramedic/fireman route. That is until I realized the fire service wasn't my particular cup of tea. I was going to get experience working as an emt, but eight dollars an hour doesn't cut it when I live on my own and pay for school. I also work as a personal trainer, so with the combination of everything my availability to work as an er tech would be limited to one to two days a week :/. Is it even possible to get hired with such a low amount of availability?

I'm currently a student completing my pre requisites for nursing school. In preparation for building my resume I'm curious of which experience is looked at more favorably: Er tech or hospital volunteer experience/ nurse shadowing programs. I understand an Er tech position to be related to the medical field, but since a shadowing program is specifically related to the field of nursing would it better to have on a resume?
