    missninaRN replied to Jame's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the idea that your study should be varied and frequent. Don't study for long blocks of time. Do small sessions instead. You will remember more that way. Always re-read your notes or...

  5. Anyone else in a funk?

    missninaRN replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I do feel for you. My biology class last semester was a nightmare. Lots of talking, goofing off, asking dumb questions etc. The cheeky monkeys! I have been fortunate, though, in that there have been...

  13. A&P 1 and 2 combined

    missninaRN replied to Rohan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That sounds like a good system. Get one of them out of the way before the other rather than trying to cover both at the same time. By the way, and completely off-topic, where did you find your avatar,...

    missninaRN replied to futurenurse85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    missninaRN replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So far so good. Lab: We have to learn the origins and insertions on our own and then say them orally to the instructor. I did the first two tables (muscles of facial expression and muscles of...

    missninaRN replied to cad4296's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    missninaRN replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
