Literally thank you! I took your advice and was able to get my 78% average for my exam grade! Even after failing my first exam

[@theluckienurse]

Ayyy that’s awesome!!! The first exam of any class is usually the hardest because you have no idea the professor’s exam style! Glad that you did not get discouraged after exam one (I’ve failed a pretty good amount of first exams in my classes lol)!

[@jaymorgan.]

What school do you go to? The school I plan to go to used to be 84% but lowered it to 80%.

[@MaryGj]

I’m in so much stress …🙄I’m scared to see my grade … any advice ?

[@wolfiegiselle1450]

i go to rasmussen university @@jaymorgan.

[@wolfiegiselle1450]

@@MaryGj i came back after a 64 percent, i would reach out to those that scored the highest in the class and also ask about their study tips, found my best friend this way. You got this, first exams can feel so discouraging but now that I’m 5 weeks away from receiving my RN degree I can tell you this works

[@thelmar.9972]

Thank you so much, Melissa! I appreciate your thorough and helpful tips. Because of your video, I have found the VCAS resource and will be watching a recorded exam review. 🙏 I hope you do well on your patho final!

[@theluckienurse]

Great! The VCAS videos are a great resource! Good luck!!!

[@carinaocampo9688]

Hi @thelmar.9972 I have been googling for VCAS resources and have not found any, do you mind sharing?

[@thelmar.9972]

@@carinaocampo9688 Hi, actually VCAS is a resource available to Chamberlain students. You log into your Canvas account and go to VCAS. From there you choose any course you want to study.

Hi Melissa, Thanks for sharing all the study tips with us. will be investing in those materials and am glad ur Patho went well. Keep the videos coming I love it

[@theluckienurse]

Glad to help and thank you!

[@nurselove8864]

I dropped it last semester while taking chem. Now retaking this semester with microbio and killing the first 3 exams ❤️

[@theluckienurse]

That is awesome! It is not an easy course at all!

[@nurselove8864]

It’s easy if you have a basic understanding of anatomy and some classes go well with patho. The Professor’s PowerPoint slides have most of the answers on the test for each chapter and the book goes more in depth

[@raregem3619]

Thanks so much. Do mind making a video regarding the entrance exam including how to study for it? Good luck on your exam💜

[@theluckienurse]

Hey, I made a video talking about how I prepared for the HESI. Most nursing programs require you to take the HESI or the TEAS before acceptance, and Chamberlain requires the HESI. I got a prep book to study, which was REALLY helpful! I also looked online at quizlets! Good luck!!

[@ShayT93]

Thank you for this video. I am taking patho and we need an 80 % to pass. No homework grades will be added unless that 80 percent is made. It’s stressing me out and it’s on the beginning. I will write down your suggestions!

[@theluckienurse]

Wow that is intense! I’m wishing you good luck!!!

[@shamiratellis2794]

Hi Melissa! Thanks so much for sharing these tips! I attend Chamberlain’s Michigan campus. I just finished my pre-reqs and will be starting my nursing courses in January after winter break. I will be taking Health and Wellness (online) and Pathophysiology (hybrid). I’m nervous since I tend to get anxious during exams, but your advice makes me feel more confident and how to prepare prior to the session starting. Do you have any advice on how I should navigate and study for both classes? Thanks so much again and congratulations as you continue your journey 😊

[@theluckienurse]

Thank you for watching! Good luck next session!! Depending on how you learn best, I would say watch KZbin videos in your free time for pathophysiology. Videos with animation can be a great tool to help you review what you’re learning from the book, and it helps to breakdown concepts in a simpler way. As for juggling the two classes- make sure to stay on top of your work, or even work ahead if you are able to!

[@Iyan-c5v]

I hope this isn't a stupid question lol, is it important to study hard for pre-reqs or do i just need to make sure that i study hard when accepted in the nursing program? Please explain

[@theluckienurse]

Hey it’s not a stupid question!!! So you should study hard for pre-reqs for a few reasons. 1. Nursing school acceptance is competitive. So the higher your GPA, the higher your chance is of getting accepted into a program. And of course, the more you study, the higher your GPA likely will be. 2. Nursing school courses build off of each other. So when you are taking pathophysiology in nursing school, it helps to have a strong background in A&P! If you enter into a program like chamberlain, it is still important to study hard in pre-reqs to keep your GPA up. Once you graduate, some nurse residency programs have a minimum GPA requirement!

[@nursenelly72]

No worries. Someone just posted it

[@arteshachatman5297]

Thank you so much!

[@VitaminC970]

How about the Edapts? How did you manage studying with those?

[@theluckienurse]

To be honest, I did not use Edapt as a learning tool at all.. or as a way of studying. Some of my classmates were able to learn from it- but I am more of hands on and an audio/visual learner. I would do Edapt assignments during the week, either at work if I had a little bit of time or in the evenings after work. I would treat it like busywork that I just had to get through. And once I got that out-of-the-way, then I would use other tools to study and actually learn information.

[@VitaminC970]

@@theluckienurse I understand. Thanks for your reply. I enjoy watching your channel!

@@VitaminC970 thank you 😊

[@Chfhfh]

Do you get your textbooks when you first get your syllabus or does chamberlain give you a list of all the book you need when your accepted?

[@theluckienurse]

Hey! You get a list of textbooks for each course after you register for each course. Chamberlain has an online bookstore. Once you log into your account, The bookstore will give you a list of all of your currently needed textbooks. I personally do not get hardcopies of any textbook… I purchase the electronic version of each book

[@justinokpalaobi6350]

If one has had Bachelor's degree in different discipline, at the same time comes in with the complete prerequisites, how many years still remain before graduation, right ? Can a student accelerate the classes as fast as he / she wants to finish up before 1.5 or 2 years?

[@theluckienurse]

Hey! I believe the fastest that you can complete the program is two years and four months. Definitely speak with an advisor about this. You can only take one nursing course at a time, so it will take some time off the program for you if you come in with all your prerequisites finished, but you’ll still have over two years of the program.

[@dangdeionn]

12-15 months

[@theluckienurse]

@@dangdeionn that’s what the advisor said? That’s awesome!

[@dangdeionn]

@@theluckienurse it’s called an APL Accelerated Pre-License or SD- ABSN Second Degree- Accelerated Bachelor of Nursing program. It’s for people who have a bachelors in another field but wants a bachelors in nursing. It ranges from 12-15 months. I start in January.

[@theluckienurse]

@@dangdeionn congratulations!

[@roxsandbebbs2715]

I thought once you pass the exam, you automatic pass the class. I guess some schools are different. My dream nursing school is GSU

[@theluckienurse]

Do you mean at some schools, if you pass the final, then you pass the entire course? If so, Chamberlain is different. It depends on what your grade point average is in a course by the time you finish. So theoretically, you could pass the final exam and fail the course if your grade was low enough going into the exam.

[@jjj1981jj]

Patho! Omg why do they put things on the exam that we haven’t even gone over?

[@theluckienurse]

Unfortunately, this can happen in any class depending on your professor! So with a class like patho, when there are so many different diseases, if your professor doesn’t know what’s going to be on the exam they may go over things that you don’t need to know for the test. And then skip over material that will be on.on the exam
