I did it!! I got a B in human physiology! Not an easy class by any means but anatomy, cell bio, (and chemistry... gasp!) helped me to prepare because this is the course that brings them all together. One of my strong points is memorization, which was great for anatomy, but in phys, thoroughly understanding the difficult concepts and being able to apply them in different scenarios took a ton of studying. I made "best guess" choices on probably half of the exam questions.
I am glad it's over and am ready for my next and final pre req: microbiology. I have heard mixed things about this class and I'm looking forward to something new. GPA wise I need at least a C+ but I'm shooting for a B. I am also taking statistics because I needed a second class. Crossing fingers for at least a C in stats!
After three long years it all comes down to one test. The TEAS. I spent a whopping $99 bucks plus tax and shipping on the study guide and practice tests for this entrance exam. I believe it will be a very good investment. As long as I get at least a C+ in micro, I will be eligible to apply to the nursing program at my #1 choice school! That being said, I have about 4 months to study before I take the TEAS. Scary to think that all this hard work comes down to one test.
