WOO HOO ! The semester is over!

Published

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm glad the semester is over. I'm happy to report I did well in Microbiology and A & P I. 2 prereq's down and 2 to go. I have an interview for my second choice school on Thursday. Happy Holidays to everyone!

I'm glad this semester is over with too! I finished this semester with A in Micro Lab still waiting on Micro Lec... before the final exam my grade was an A as well, but that final exam was a little bit discouraging, but I just needed a 70% on the final to keep my A. I find out Friday my final grades! I have two more science class Chemistry I and Nutrition! I still have a few general education/electives to complete. On my way, nursing school Spring 2010

Yes, WOO HOO indeed! I am so ready for a break!! I just finished A&P I, Health and Wellness and a pre-nursing class that's offered at my school. I received all As. I just took the NET this past Saturday (everybody pray for me please :sniff:) Once I receive my results for that will determine whether I can apply to the nursing program for the Fall semester. Just 4 more pre-reqs to finish up.

Enjoy your Holiday everyone!

Specializes in Surgical/Trauma ICU.

Just finished my last final (biology).

A in Chemistry and Speech, B in Biology (bio doesn't count for NS for me so its all good).

I don't get much of a break, I'm doing a CNA class M-F 4-8pm, started this week and goes to february (into next semester!). Oh well, just glad to be done with this semester. sucess!

Next semester is Anatomy, 2nd semester English and Psychology. I'm already studying for anatomy (right now), since I have a break until my CNA class tonight. (I live 40 minutes away from school, so I'm not gonna waste the gas and go home in between).

If anyone has any suggestions on what to get a jump on anatomy wise, it would be much appreciated.

I just finished anatomy. I finished with a mid B which I'm pretty disappointed in because I know I could of tried harder but hindsight's 20/20. Anyway I would suggest studying the tissues and bones because most likely your first exam will be one or both of them. One of the reasons why I didn't get an A in anatomy is because of my first exam. I wasn't used to looking at slides and I had a panic attack when I saw 50 microscopes lined up for our exam. I couldn't think clearly cause we only had about a minute to look at each microscope before going to the next. I ended up getting a 40% on that first exam and it destroyed my chances of getting an A.

Basically, be extremely prepared for your first exam because it will set the tone for the class.

These are the exams I took in order of most difficult(imo).

1. Nervous System Exam

[i never want to hear the word ganglion ever again. ANS, CNS, Spinal Cord, Nervous Tissue, Brain and Cranial Nerves ugh]

2. Systems Exam [Ours was on Digestive, Respiratory, Urinary, Vessels, Blood, Heart, and Lympatic- The sheer volume of information killed me]

3. Cat Oral Exam [Word of advice: Spray your cat down thoroughly to prevent it from decomposing. Our cat was growing the black plague and it was nearly impossible to study for longer than 20 minutes without dry heaving]

4. Tissues Exam [Just rows and rows of microscopes]

5. Muscles Exam[some say it's hard but it came naturally to me because I've written tons of essays on muscles/fitness for a fitness website. Don't just blindly memorize the muscles, learn how they work together and what muscles are used for certain movements.]

6. Bones Exam [i basically had to live in the Lab to learn everything but it's easy once you get the hang of it]

Specializes in Nursing Assistant.

Im waiting for my A&PII grade and I just received my grade for my Nursing, Drug Calculations class (online) and my Prof had previously emailed me and said that i had made an A for the class because i had recieved a 100 for both midterm and final and I met all the requirments. But when I looked at my transcript online it said I had a B+. Im sooo confused and I dont know what to do. I worked really hard in this class :(

Specializes in Acute Rehab, Community/ Public Health.

CONGRATS to all! I am so glad this semester is over. I only had one class (got an A in anatomy), but I was also working full-time and finishing up an non-nursing related Master's.

Everyone enjoy your well-deserved breaks, because I know I will (even if it is only 2 weeks for me)!
