    Keep pushing through girl! Always impressed with your ability to balance life, don't lose that! Passed my boards last month and currently going through orientation at my first job, all of the work will be worth it sooner than you think 😚👩🏼‍⚕️

    I failed pharmacology the first class I've ever failed in my life... it sucks that I'm behind my cohort and that I failed because of 1 point... but were studying to save a patient not for a test. It sucks that I have to see the same professor very embarrassing but I'm sure it'll make me a better nurse :)

      JinetNC I am going through the same thing. I found that we just have to be optimistic. I was lacking passion for learning in my first semester after a very heavy past semester. I'm behind my cohort as well and everyone is starting their clinicals this semester however I will be starting two semesters after them.

      I love Professor Fink!! I took his Physiology class at West L.A. and it was my favorite science class, I’ve taken all the RN pre-req classes so that says a lot. He makes learning so easy.

    @lisar.2549 4 года назад +4

    This is helpful, thanks. I just finished pharm (prerequisite) and it was the hardest class I’ve ever taken. The color coding is helpful, charts, and lists of drugs in each class, repetition, anything to get those names in your head! Your honest representation of how many things you did to do well shows that it is difficult (but can be done). 😃

  • @jaelyn9205
    @jaelyn9205 6 лет назад +4

    My univ breaks up pharm in 2 semesters. Just finished pharm 1 (aka the basics), and so nervous to start pharm 2. This video helped so much!! I had no idea how I was gonna study all these meds, but LOOOVE your organization & studying skills. Thank you so much!

    @marandaryan 7 лет назад +22

    When I took pharm, I didn't realize how important just focusing on the drug class was! I got bogged down trying to study every single individual drug. I still passed with a B, but I could have made it a lot easier on myself lol. So funny how we can recall info just by remembering what color we used in our notes! That def helps me too!

    • @HolleyGabrielle
      @HolleyGabrielle  7 лет назад +1

      Yes omg! I would focus on drugs too at first, but eventually learned that drug classes are way more important!

    • @lawanajohnston6405
      @lawanajohnston6405 7 лет назад +1

      LoveLuna mine is the same except for intro A&P, advanced A&P and Human patho they all had end of term exams with one written assignment it's crazy her pharmacology also seemed a bit more about learning and the drugs themselves where as we mainly focused on the drug categories and how they work in the body

  • @Rhondamuzik1
    @Rhondamuzik1 7 лет назад

    hey holley! yes, plz do more nursing videos. its very helpful and informative for me personally bcuz I'm in the process of doing prerequisite courses to enter into an accelerated nursing program. however, i really enjoyed watching this video bcuz ill know what to expect when taking pharmacology. keep up the good work and look forward to you posting a video when you graduate!

    We have an ATI test over that book this semester and I'm so scared because everyone says that that exam will make or break you for the semester. 😅 thank you so much for your tips!! Ill definitely pay attention to the drug class content and watch for matching suffixes. I ordered these giant pharm phlash cards I found on amazon with lots of content and pictures so I hope that helps too!

    I agree with funds being more difficult then pharm. I went into this quarter thinking the opposite. I'm taking them both at the same time and passing both with a B. Fingers crossed that I keep it that way with finals coming up.

    @LivingMyBestLynnzy 7 лет назад

    I needed this last semster, at TTU Traditional BSN we only have four semsters (tri-year semesters) and they hit us with Pharm right off. We use ATI 10.0 edition, in L1 we had Core/Fundimentals, Pharm, Integrated Learning 1, and Health promotion. We ended up having seven exams for Pharm and one ATI final. What helped me a ton was using flashcards. We were told that it is expected for us to study 40 hours a week and mine was planned out to be roughly 30 hours pharm and 10 hours the other three haha.
    Side note: I love your mom on Snapchat!

    Hey girl! I absolutely love you videos. I'm starting my nursing program in less than a month and I'm definitely excited and nervous. Do you have any good tips for motivating yourself to keep health and fitness of a high importance? I love to workout and do it almost everyday during summer, but during school I notice that when I become tired and stressed out I make every excuse such as needing to study to not workout and eat right? Just thought I'd ask to see if you have any really good ways to balance school as well as health and fitness ?
    Thanks girly :)

    Pharmacology is definitely the biggest topic in nursing school. I generally feel like many notes make me confusing but you've organized things well!! Do you use any additional resources along with given materials? I mean platforms like Lecturio, cause I feel like they're doing a pretty good job with courses they offer

    I’m in my sophomore year spring semester. I just started clinicals and Im taking pharm. I’m so scared of failing this class. Fundamentals was a breeze. I’m so nervous 😰
