Progress Report
I am doing pretty well so far, but the workload is more than I ever imagined. There is at least one exam per week. (There are two this week.)
Anatomy & Physiology is taking up a lot of my time. I spend 12-15 hours per week studying it. I have my first lab test tomorrow; I was up until 3:00 this morning studying, and then studied all day today. (And I still don’t feel prepared!)Tomorrow’s exam is identification and discussion of different cell types and body tissues. There are 25 stations, and you move from station to station. In some cases, there will be microscopes out, and you will have to identify the cell/tissue, discuss its function, and where in the body it can be found. There are so many different variations that all look identical. I’m in a bit of a panic over this one.
Otherwise, I’ve been doing pretty well so far. I had a big A&P unit exam last week that I got an A- on, and my first Nursing exam this week, on which I got an A. I have also had a weekly Nursing Lab quiz, and have gotten 10 out of 10 possible points on all three of them. So, not too bad, but tomorrow’s exam is going to be a killer. I’ll post an update when I get my grade.

Did you know?
Did you know that the average person has 2.5 million sweat glands? TRUE!! They are spread all over the body, with the exception of the nipples, lips, and external genitalia.
