I just uploaded a brand new video of what you can expect in your first semester of nursing school: classes + what they are about, weekly schedule, how to be successful:)
No one should feel bad it is virtually impossible to get an A in this course while working full time having kids etc doing overtime to support self and family,try your best that’s all you can do.People who don’t work full time etc have the time to focus on this 100% and get an A or A+ not everyone has that opportunity or is lucky enough.Getting an A in the class doesn’t mean you will not suck as a nurse.Nursing is more than microbiology.
@@msberryyy369 lucky. My medical micro professor is one the hardest professors I’ve had. Can’t use notes and she hardly warns what will be on exams and wants us to memorize everything. 😅
Oh wow, I used rate my professor before I took this class and my teacher had over a 100 good reviews so I got lucky, but I had no idea we could use notes until class started. I was so happy lol, I love professors that actually want to see their students get an A@@karaokay5444
I’m actually trying to learn my material. I took my exam yesterday and got the lowest score :(. I a majority cheated. But I’m a nursing student and need to know this. So I’m trying to get my study habits right
How do you not get discouraged? I start the semester with a study plan and I have the best intention to learn but then get discouraged when I don’t retain the information or understand fully.
I definitely get discouraged and many times think that I’m not capable of meeting my goals. It’s about understanding that everyone has a different journey so to not compare your success to someone else’s. It’s all mental, as long as you passed, you passed. Tell yourself that you can do it and that you believe in yourself. Jobs will not see what grades you got in each class. Just believe you can do it and celebrate every big and small win
ok this is amazing i kind of do the same thing but on my notebook not a dry erase board! love these tips so much! way to be organized - i wish we had slides we have quizzes and chapter objectives to complete on our own... i would literally pay for your organized notes!
Glad I found you channel! Check out mine too! I just finished micro in a 5 week accelerated course for summer and unfortunately got a D. It was super tough! I am currently redoing it in the fall. It’s a pain. Hoping to pass with an A or B this time! Good luck my fellow nursing student !
I’m sorry to hear that, but it’s not the end! Micro isn’t an easy course. Taking it in the fall again might make it easier since it’s more spread out over weeks. Good luck to you as well!
I also tried to take it during the summer and I had to drop it, I am retaking it now in the fall too and already failed the first test. One mistake I made was only study out of the review, my professor included some questions that were not mentioned in the review at all, some professors follow the review and others don’t so one tip is to study everything.
@@Leti_10 my professor did the same thing ! Most of the questions were not a part of the review lol. So far this semester I’m doing pretty good. Taking my time and going at my own pace! Don’t let that first grade defeat you!
This studying technique definitely works! I do pretty much the same thing for A and P 1, but I have a live class. I listen during class then once the zoom recording post the day after I listen to the recording while reading the lecture slides and making notes. this definitely helps me retain the info! good luck!! I take micro bio in the summer hopefully your tips will help ☺️
HIIII I’m graduating this year and I’m going to university in New England and studying micro too (but as my full major)!! I’m so happy I found your channel it’s literally perfect to watch for what I’m going through rn haha I just wanted to know which laptop and other supplies you found were best/ what I should get for my first year of college!! I need help haha
That’s great! I got a MacBook Air and I’ve found it to be really helpful because everything is online for me. Mini whiteboards for your use could be helpful to study too
I’m definitely going to try your expo divider study trick. My professor doesn’t upload PowerPoints. He like to strictly lecture from his mind with assistance of a PowerPoint but mostly everything is from what he says. Actually not bad at all. I just need a way to study all of the different bacteria. Thanks!
My teacher doesn’t even teach us💀 She doesn’t give note outlines or even do lectures… So, essentially I’m teaching myself and doing an awful job at it😂
Hey sukaina, what really pushes you to study hard and give this much effort in every single day of your semester 🙆♂️ if you share that would be a great help
Thank you for sharing your experience! I’m currently taking microbiology next semester and I’m worried about how busy I’ll be with my other two classes. What would you recommend?
hi! What I advise would be to plan and organize your assignments for all classes and set a study schedule for them. I like to start each week by reviewing the syllabus for each class and taking note of everything due and any exams I have. I’ll assign work to certain days so it’s spaced out so there is no overlapping. With exams, I set a strict schedule and i study an even amount each day leading up to the exam until all the material is covered. As long as you schedule out your work days and study days you’ll be okay. Organization is key! Wish you all the best ✨
I cannot agree more. Planning the days of when you will study each subject is important. What’s also important is being consistent with your study method during each study time. ~all the best to you in your classes.
thx for the tips! taking it this sem and while lectures seem fine now, i feel so slow in the labs like i had to redo a simple experiment bc i didn't read through the instructions carefully enough. i need to calm down lmao
I'm having such a hard time with micro. My classes are only 4weeks long and the study guides really have nothing to do with the tests, ever.. I'm definitely thinking to try another school for subjects I have differculty with.
Micro is difficult for sure and especially when it’s accelerated, but you can do it! Temporary sacrifice for a greater outcome. With some schools it is possible to take some classes elsewhere and transfer those credits but I would double check with your school on what they accept. All the best of luck!
Hey! So I’m taking microbiology online and she doesn’t have any lecture videos available nor is she any help for what to study. Did your advisor make her lectures on UA-cam so I can watch them?
I feel this would work for a standard semester, but for me my micro class is a 1 month term. Maybe I’ll use these tips for my actual nursing classes in two months.
Since I have weak background knowledge. I am having a hard time understanding the biochemistry parts when studying microbiology (such as peptoglycogan, Kreb cycle, something that has to do with chemical structures...) is there a way I can make that up? Should I go over basic chemistry or biology in order to understand those things?
It could definitely help to review some chemistry/biology but nothing crazy, just the basics if you believe that would help you understand better. There’s plenty of UA-cam videos that go over the basics like the Kreb cycle
Thank you for the study tips. My professor told us the first day that our exams were going to be based mostly on the textbook and not so much the slides. Do you have any tips for studying the textbook ?
Of course! I would take notes on each chapter/highlight important concepts, you can never have too much notes, and if your textbook has end of chapter quizzes, definitely do those. You can also quiz yourself on the reading too!
Thanks for sharing this. I took your successful method and tweaked it for my class. My professor has really good slides so I am going to tweak the slides with the content from the book to flesh out the material and go over the enhanced PowerPoint every other day . Thanks for sharing . I hope I get into nursing
Hi Sukaina Attar, I Jessica Walker is a nurse major, and I took counseling 12 in August of 2021 the Fall semester and my final grade I got a B. And I'm taking 1 class that is speech for the Winter semester it started on January 4, 2022, and it ended on February 13, 2022, and now I will be taking Fundamentals of biology I do not have a grade yet for my speech class.
@@SukainaAttar I ask because I recently learn some times there are biology classes for health majors that tend to have a different focus and intensity in comparison to similar classes required for bio majors. I wish they would do that with chem classes for bio majors, organic chem killed me. The chem department treated it as their root out course for chem majors, but it was murder on bio majors.
Every class is different, just because you don’t succeed in one class doesn’t mean you won’t succeed in all the others. I personally found microbiology to be easier than physics and chemistry!
I went by the PowerPoint because my professor didn’t require a textbook, just article readings related to the topics here and there. However, if your class uses the textbook I recommend reading the textbook as well since every professor teaches differently
I turned each topic or bullet point into a question! For example, the topics could be describing the components of a bacteria and/or virus. I would then ask myself to list all those components to compare and contrast the two without looking at my notes.
I didn’t have a textbook for this class, my professor provided everything we needed to know in her PowerPoint slides and occasional readings. However, if you have a textbook for your class I would definitely recommend reading it!
hi! my best advice would be to plan and organize your assignments for both classes and set a study schedule for them. I like to start each week by reviewing the syllabus for each class and taking note of everything due and any exams I have. I’ll assign work to certain days so it’s spaced out. With exams, I set a strict schedule and i study an even amount each day leading up to the exam until all the material is covered. Try spacing out micro and A&P so you aren’t doing both on the same day, it’ll be overwhelming! Good luck ✨
Hello, do they allow you to do the prerequisites in that college after admission or you need to have it before you are accepted? I trying to become an international student… the prerequisites are really confusing
From my experience, prerequisite means the coursework you have to complete BEFORE you’re “officially” doing the program. In some cases, if ur accepted to a university with the program that means ur doing the prerequisite courses usually in ur 1st and 2nd year. The last two years are more actually nursing and clinicals. If ur doing prerequisites at a college or other university before transferring then you have to complete those before you’re accepted into a nursing program. (In this method, u usually do prerequisites for 2 years, and then once u transfer the remaining coursework in the program is also another 2 years.) both ways it usually takes 4 years
I did not take my classes in that order so I’m not sure. Micro and fundamentals were in different semesters. I would suggest talking with your advisor to see what would work best!

If there is an ncleax post, I’d read that over. That’s next on my academic agenda
Was this a standard microbiology class & lab or a micro class purely for nursing majors?
It was a standard class! Mostly nursing majors in it because it was a required pre requisite, but anyone could take it.

is there a lot of math in microbiology?
No
Only for microscope lab about calculating ocular units. You don't need a calculator because you're just changing the units. No stress
There is math for calculation of microbe colonies and generation time but that’s about it.
Hello, do they allow you to do the prerequisites in that college after admission or you need to have it before you are accepted? I trying to become an international student… the prerequisites are really confusing
The college I’m attending requires it before being accepted to the nursing program.
From my experience, prerequisite means the coursework you have to complete BEFORE you’re “officially” doing the program. In some cases, if ur accepted to a university with the program that means ur doing the prerequisite courses usually in ur 1st and 2nd year. The last two years are more actually nursing and clinicals.

(In this method, u usually do prerequisites for 2 years, and then once u transfer the remaining coursework in the program is also another 2 years.) both ways it usually takes 4 years
To clarify: the first method means that ur already accepted into the program, ur just spending more money to take those courses at a university.
What you think about me taking microbiology with my nursing fundamental class, plus math dosage
I did not take my classes in that order so I’m not sure. Micro and fundamentals were in different semesters. I would suggest talking with your advisor to see what would work best!
