Okay, I'm progressing nicely, My school is an independent study, pretty much all your books and assignments are giving to you the 1st day of school, then you are put on a monthly contract telling you which assignments to have completed each month, you can work ahead, but you CANNOT get behind!!!!

July makes my 5th month (18 months to complete, 12 months if I work ahead!!!! :))

I start clinicals in 2 weeks, I can't wait, really excited to do the hands on thing!!! I'm hoping it absorbs more in my mind and stays there longer LOL......

July & August wont be too bad : Injections, IV and Pharmacology......

but still anyone with helpful tips of remembering all this information.................IS GREATLY APPRECIATED............

I did have a friend give me a great tip for remembering the bones of the fingers and toes.........

when u drive a car............you are using your metacarpals  (car---carpals)

when you are walking on the tar........................you are using your metatarsals  (tar--- tarsals)

wish she would have shared that before my tests! LOL but at least now I have that piece of information that will always stick in my head!

This month's large nursing focus test is on musculoskeletal system...OMG

who knew it would be so much information! any one with any great study tools or pneumonics to help remember some of this stuff?...........
