My university (and I'm sure most others) recommends that we spend 3 hours for every one credit studying ( 4 credit class = 12 hours studying and so on). Well I find that I put WAY more time than that into my studies. I know I've said it about a hun...

This is what I usually try to do. However for this particular class, the two professors that teach the class co-wrote all FIVE text books for lecture and lab. In our first week we were assigned 4 chapters from the lecture text, 2 from the lab text...

Man, am I in for a LOOOONG semester. I had my first Anatomy lab last night... we already had our first test and a second one that needs to be taken in the open lab before our next scheduled lab class. Tons of homework and reading were assigned too. ...

Well I started tonight and had Anatomy lecture. I'm torn... I was expecting much worse, but then again it's only the first class and it's only going to get harder from here. After 3 hours of lecture, 2 chapters and 8 pages of notes my brain feels li...

So I've been trying to better myself both intellectually and physically. When classes start, I find it really hard to fit in a proper workout and studying makes me hungry so I snack a lot more than normal. What do you do to stay fit when classes ar...

+ = me. I don't start till Tuesday, but I CANNOT wait!! I'm so ready for classes to start again and I'm going to kick the crap out of anatomy... I can feel it in my bones! Good luck to everyone starting this week!!!!

He puts a monetary value on his time with everything he does. For example, he'd rather get take out from a steakhouse for ribs because it's not worth his time to put them in the oven and wait for them to cook for a few hours. He thinks it would be mo...

Awesome idea! I'm keeping it light this semester and taking Anatomy with Lab. I want to give myself the best chance possible to get an A.

This is a great post! My father-in-law is the kind of guy that lives in the here and now... which is nice and all but he has a really hard time understanding why I'm "wasting" so much time in school. We had a conversation a few weeks back about the ...

This may make me sound like a schmuck but I'm doing it for me. Plain and simple. It's something I want (and have wanted for a very long time) and I'm chasing my dream. It's been 7 years in the making and my husband and I were finally in the position ...

These topics are really hard to answer. Every school is different. Like Ashes172 said, make an appointment with a nursing advisor and go over your options. They are the only people that can tell you your chances. Good Luck!

I am not a fan of energy drinks. Once in a while I'll have a Monster Rehab but I try to stay away from them as much as possible. The one time I drank a 5 Hour Energy, I literally took a nap for a few hours. It in no way made me feel like I was pushin...

So I'm 5 days away from starting my Anatomy class. I was feeling really confidant about the whole dissection thing until today. My university uses cadavers and I'm starting to freak out a little over it. I don't want to be the person that faints or p...

I know there are already a ton of pro-mac/pro-pc posts in this topic, but here are my two cents. I have a MacBook Air... and I LOVE it. It's 4 years old and it's been through hell and back. I've dropped it on the travertine floor more times than I'd ...

I had never taken a chemistry class until this summer. I was also very overwhelmed with the material. It didn't help that I took it in a 7 week semester. Anyway, I ended up with an A- which I was very happy with. My professor was very scattered and I...

I will be working on cadavers. My school is very fortunate to have quite a few donors for us to work on. Is it weird that I'm super excited to get my hands in there?

Good luck to you too!!! I start Anatomy on the 27th and I am so excited! I know come the 28th after I have seen my syllabus my feelings will be completely different, but I'm going to enjoy the excitement while it lasts!

As much as I love quizlet, I much prefer making my own flashcards. The more I hand write something, the more it sinks in and sticks. I do mine in different colors. Here how: -Bold Terms (blue) -Practice/review questions (Purple) -Concepts (red) -Etym...

We aren't allowed to do this at my school. Our phones have to be turned off, logged by a lab assistant that it is in fact OFF completely, and then stored in a room outside of the lab. I'm a very visual learner so this might put me at a bit of a disad...

I'm in Utah and applying for Fall '14 for the BSN program! I'm so excited I already have my application filled out, just need to take the TEAS and finish my last 3 pre-req's!!

So let me start off by saying that my husband is a great guy. He would move heaven and Earth to make sure I'm happy but he just doesn't get it when it comes to school. He has never been to college and works in the construction world as a building in...

All I can say is WOW. You guys are amazing. Ever single post had some really good advice, and I thank you for that. My husband does support me and he has faith that I will succeed, however, he is having a really hard time understanding why I have to...

Not until the 27th, but be happy that you got your syllabus. My anatomy professor doesn't give them out until the first day of class. So I'm just reading the first few chapters in hopes that he actually starts from the beginning of the book. Good lu...

I was in a similar boat. I as well graduate HS in '03 but I did attend college right after in something completely unrelated to nursing. I wasn't able to do my senior year because of financial reasons and dropped out of school. Then life happened. I ...

I wonder if the OP is being misunderstood. I could be totally off base but maybe the class is being taught LIKE a master's level course.
