What is it most time-consuming you are studding now?

Published

Hey! Hopefully i am in the Accelerated BSN programm starting next May. As i have the whole year to get ready, i want to start studding somethig "must know". Just hope this will help me not to get too extremely loaded. Something you know, you have to drill, something time-consuming...

Thank you!

Fluid and electrolytes has been my hardest subject and test yet. I recommend reading up on that. Fluid and Electrolytes made incredibly Easy! is good. So far (from the 2 nursing classes I have finished) that has been my worst grade. I wish I had more time to study it.

I would agree that Fluid and Electrolytes is a LOT of information to cram in a short amount of time...also I'm struggling a little with Cardio/Pulmonary these last few weeks of the semester...it's just too much to cram into 2 weeks!

I agree with fluid and electrolytes being hard, but also in my class a bunch of us had a hard time with diabetes.

Definately fluid and electrolyes...you also may want to look at possibly getting your CNA (6weeks) and maybe taking a monitor tech class to learn your cardiac rhytyms (huge part of this semester for me!) Depending on your experience...I know I had none entering NS, and wished I had! Good Luck and take advantage of all the time you have to prepare :)

Pharmacology hands down. Even the "smart students" are struggling with our Pharm class.

Yeah, pharm and med-surg were most time consuming. I'd consider reading up on some drugs out of your pharm book and brushing up on your A&P if it's been awhile. Good luck to you!

Pharm has been tough, but not terrible. The thing that is taking a lot of time that I didn't expect would is the actual nursing skills. Of course, I'm the kind of person who has to practice, practice, practice my skills and even then I don't feel entirely comfortable doing them in testing. A lot of students in my program have also said that skills has been hard for them, so maybe it's just my school's program.

i want to start studding somethig "must know".

May I suggest a good word processor program with a good spell-checker and better proofreading skills.

As instructor, would not be happy with papers or assignments with such misspellings....

(Meant as a suggestion to be precise and professional in your communications;

and acknowledging your post was probably a "quickie note" not a "formal entry".)
