LOL, thank you. I couldn't imagine only studying for a few hours for this particular class--4-5 chapters of info per weekly exam and our book is old and vague (to say the least). What takes so long is all of the research we have to do just to clarify each subject. The doctor, our professor, keeps saying that our book is wrong, but doesn't provide any info outside of that because "it's too time consuming to explain." Hence, the 40+ hr/wk research. I didn't have this issue in A&P I and II, Chem, Language of Med, and Micro... I study more for this one class and have a lower grade than I did for all of the previous classes that I mentioned combined. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to go through this same ordeal during my program--hopefully they will have more up-to-date books and info? I was told that our first pharmacology exam will cover 15 chapters... so I am just trying to be proactive and figure out how to do this "material skimming" that everyone speaks of before I start in August. Hahaha!

Hello, I am a first generation college student, I start the BSN program Fall 2016 and have been told that nursing school is very different from other classes. I am currently taking a nursing pathophysiology class that was taken out of our college's BSN program because too many students were not passing it. I'm passing but am just starting to get used to all of the NCLEX style questions. I am nervous because of the amount of time that I have to study just to pass this class by itself. Any advice on how to study for multiple challenging classes at once? I've heard that we will have to "skim the material in the program because there isn't enough time in the day to study everything." My hubby helps a lot with our toddler so there are very few study interruptions. However, I just need to know how to "skim" material and still retain info to pass--I'm currently reading entire chapters and studying 40 hrs/wk just to pass one class (we don't receive study guides). Thank you, Humblenurs
