Help from the Seniors...Part II

Hi everyone...back with remainder of the information that my help provided me with. Some other tips I received were to do with clinicals. Organizations is greatly stressed throughout the first year didactic as we will be tested on the information on monthly or quarterly exams while in clinicals. So, get a jump drive and save all powerpoints from blackboards. A suggestion related to biophysics was to brush on math skills and to pay close attention as info from this class will be the foundation for 2nd & 3rd quarter.

Well...that seems to be the just of it. Now its time to get studying I guess.

Help from the the Seniors

Like always, started anything new also brings up many questions and concerns which adds to the nervousness. I was very happy to notice that we are paired with a senior SRNA. I asked the person who was assigned to help me out about what to expect in the first semester and received a great deal (2 pages!) of valuable information. It may not have been stuff that made be calmer (more nervous actually) but I liked the straightforwardness. Follows a quick briefing of what was recommended.
1) You will be slammed with info but give yourself some "freak out" time.
2) Buy a jump drive to help stay organize...will be using stuff taught in first year for tests in clinical year as well.
3) Highly Recommended* Record lectures in Anatomy
4) Pricey but recommended book: "Color atlas of Anatomy by Rohen" (to your right)
5) 1st exam --- make flashcards. Dont get behind in this. Or if you dont make flashcards, do something to where you know those muscles down cold.

This is just a bit of info that I got...I worked last night and again tonight so will post another bit in am.
Please share if you received any other info.
