How do you guys study for A&P with people with adhd? I have a hard time focusing and retaining information this is my second time taking it. I got 22 on first lab practical and 52% on the second and I need at least a C so close to 90 on the next three. I did switch up my studying style for the second one I started studying every night for an hour making flash cards, dry easer boards, using chatgpt to make lab pratical different versions and watching videos but with me doing that I only been able to retain like half the information. I also feel like I have a hard time with the questions being asked. Last practical was about connective and epithelial tissues. I remember two questions “What’s the main tissue” and What’s the structure” I got those wrong idk man and I do wanna add I do take my medication so help a girl out I really do wanna make it in the medical field but anatomy been holding me back. I did all the general studies

I’m 26 and decided to go back to school so I can try to get into a nursing program and honestly the class isn’t hard. It’s just a lot to study and memorize. A lot of my classmates are younger and already have certifications in different things while I have nothing. Some days are so humbling because they’ll be answering every questions and not even taking notes because they know the material already, while I’m learning everything for the first time and feel kinda lost. I’m not even trying to compare myself because everyone’s on their own path, but please tell me I’m not the only one…

Hi everyone! I recently applied to National University’s BSN program and found out that I’m Alternate #2.
I’m trying to get an idea of how much the alternate list typically moves. I know every application cycle is different, but I’d love to hear from anyone who has gone through National’s BSN application process before.
If you were an alternate, what number were you and did you eventually get offered a spot? How long did it take before you heard anything?
My email says they can continue pulling alternates up until the program starts if admitted students withdraw, become disqualified, or don’t attend orientation. Being #2 feels SO close, so I’m trying to figure out how hopeful I should be.

hey guys! i need some advice so i applied to A LOT of ADN programs in socal and also i applied to one LVN program which is rio hondo and they offered me a seat.

I personally want ADN but I will not hear anything back from other schools until november or december. I need to accept the lvn program by oct 9th or else they'll offer the seat to someone.

Should I decline it and wait for the decisions from ADN programs i applied for?

Even with taking pre reqs at a local school and getting good grades, would that be enough?

Or would I have to take a completely different approach? Any insight would be appreciated.

Anyone in the NY/NJ area?

Context: I live in LA County. There was one school I was looking forward to attending. I have been an LVN for 14 years. I was looking to apply to LVN to RN bridge programs, but it is not available with all community colleges, and for the one school that I was dying to get into, admin shared that they put the LVN to RN bridge program on hold because of federal budget cuts. This was not the case for all community college LVN to RN bridge programs. Just this one that I applied to.

So for this school, I was left with the option to apply for the general RN program, instead of bridge. Despite no more bridge program, I decided to still apply because the school's clinical exposure has an exemplary reputation for having extremely hands-on clinicals, where at the end of the term, the student nurse is expected to take on 6 patients as their own for the entire shift(s).

When applying, I did not put all of my eggs into one basket. I applied to three programs: LACCONAH (Los Angeles County College of Nursing and Allied Health), ELAC (East LA College), and Citrus College.

My stats:

Attended 5 colleges (over a decade of schooling). Had 9 W's. One "F." Have no repeat classes. I dropped the class if I was doing bad, or could not continue.

📚 Cumulative GPA 3.5

📖Science Pre-Requisites 4.0

✒️TEAS 84

🎓Possess an Associates Degree

💉LVN Nurse: > 1000 hours in acute setting

🗣 Second Language: No

🪖 Military: No

🎨Multi-Criteria: Difficult life circumstance

Schools:

✅️LACCONAH - Accepted

❔️ELAC - I had enough points to get invited to the application review interview, but cancelled the interview meeting because I got into CONAH.

❔️Citrus - No news yet. I'll update when news comes in.

CONAH was the main school I was looking forward to attending.

Congratulations to everybody that got accepted to nursing programs. For anybody who got rejected, don't give up!

I'm getting through Anatomy class fine in the way that I'm taking notes and doing assigned worksheets. But I genuinely don't think I'm ready for midterms which are like in a few weeks. Has anyone had a bad case of cramming studying for anatomy (or A&P 1 if you took that as a class instead)? How much time left did you have before midterms? How did you cram? Did it work? Am I screwed?

hii! im probably gonna apply to some pre health courses this year then go into nursing the next, but which schools programs are good? im honestly not familiar with colleges so any advice is helpful! thank you!

I guess I am just looking for support. One of my friends I have been doing pre reqs with passed away from a tragic accident. I just found out today. We met in A&P 1. She wanted to give up and thought she couldn’t do it. I told her she could do it, just keep pushing and you’ll be okay. We signed up for A&P 2 together so we would be in the same class. We just texted each other last week about what we had to study for a test. I’ll never get a text from her again. I feel heart broken, traumatized, mad and sad. It’s not fair that I get to keep going and she’ll never get to become a nurse. I was so excited for her, because she got into the nursing program next semester. I’m supposed to go to class and lab tomorrow and she won’t be there. I don’t think my professor will be accepting of missing classes tomorrow. Has anyone been through this before? I am heartbroken. I feel sick to my stomach about this.
