I am an ER nurse. I am so tired of bringing a patient meds and having the whole family ask “Did the doctor recommend that?” No, the janitor thought some norepinephrine might fix your mom’s BP of 50/10, but she seemed pretty confident so I went with it.

WHY AM I LAUGHING SO HARD
looks like someone owes everyone an anthropology
Get out.
Anatoli Bugorski might be the luckiest scientist of all time.
While poking around the machine, Bugorski stuck his head inside the accelerator and straight into the path of a proton beam.
As it coursed through his skull, the proton beam burned a hole through Bugorski’s brain. While it was painless, he said he was blinded by a flash “brighter than a thousand suns.”
After staggering away from the machine, the left side of his face swelled to enormous proportions. Later, the skin near the entry and exit wounds peeled away, and Bugorski lost hearing in his left ear. However, this Soviet survived his mind-blowing experience, perhaps because the proton beam was moving at nearly the speed of light.
Despite his good luck, Bugorski eventually lost every nerve in the left side of his face becoming partially paralyzed. The proton beam also damaged Bugorski’s mental capabilities, though not as badly as you might expect. Despite his handicap, Bugorski earned a PhD and is still alive today, proving that it takes a lot more than a proton beam to kill a Russian.

This man is true Soviet.
So I think this might be the question I get asked the MOST often. People are always asking me how do I study for this or that class. So I thought I would just make a master post I could link you all to. :)
All classes
Watch my video on how to study. This applies to almost everything you have to study.
See below for additions to doing everything listed in that video.
Math
Do problems. Do all the problems. Do them again.
Do all the problems in your book.
Get another book and repeat step 2
Trust me 99.9% of all math classes is pattern recognition. If you can learn how to solve the problem you can ace any set of variables they throw at you.
Physics
See math—because physics is JUST applied math. You have to learn how to read the questions and pull out the information you need—the only way to do that is to do dozens of questions!
Micro Bio/ID
Flow charts—break things up by group to understand them. You have to group things to remember what’s gram positive or gram negative
Don’t blow off the actual micro part of micro. If you understand the virulence factors you’re more likely to understand the sx/tx
I had to use a lot of silly sayings to remember all the little pieces of micro. So I would remind myself about the diseases of haemophilus influenzae by saying haEMOPhilus (epiglotitus, meningitis, otitis media, pnuemonia). It was silly but it worked for me.
O Chem
Do all the problems. Do them again.
Get another book and repeat step 1
Flashcard the reactions you don’t understand—put the reactants on one side and the products on the back. Practice these backward and forward.
Draw out every step of reactions you don’t understand
Circle your electrons or mark whatever it is you lose track of
Count—count where everything went at the end to make sure you didn’t screw up.
Categorize. Do all members of this group react this way?? It’s easier to learn the rules and the exceptions than force memorize every individual compound’s reaction.
Gen Chem
See math
Understand real world examples. I related all of the stuff about heat to a cup of coffee. It worked for me
Talk through it! I had to read chemistry out loud or try to repeat it out loud in my own words to have any idea what was going on.
YouTube videos are absolutely perfect for gen chem!! (There’s even a whole CrashCourse series on Gen Chem that’s appropriate especially for high school level chem).
General Biology—Genetics/Immunology/Cell Biologyetc
You really need to watch my video
Cross relate—you have to integrate all your biology together to keep all that information in your head.
Flashcard only the stuff that can’t be understood. (Like cell markers, etc)
Charts! Biology is all about categorization and understanding the similarities between different groups of things. If you can simply remember the characteristics of a group it’s easy to know everything you need to about all the members of that group.
Pathology
Pathoma
Look at the pictures until you feel sick.
Make flashcards of the pictures so you can at least do immediate identification of what you’re looking at even if you don’t know exactly what the pathology is.
Integrate! How does the physiology relate to exactly what is going on with the pathology? How does the pathology predict treatment?
Learn some latin and greek root words. Even if you have no idea what the word means you might be able to figure it out from there. :) I’ve gotten more than one question right by just figuring out what the word meant.
Pharmacology
Understand the mechanism of the drug—it will really predict how it is used or what its toxicities are for
Flashcard the bare minimum or anything bizarre you can’t remember any other way.
Figure out the similarities in the names. If it sounds the same, it probably belongs in the same class.
Don’t learn in isolation. It’s hard to study pharmacology on its own—instead study it integrated with physiology and pathology whenever possible for the best understanding.
Study as case studies!! What diuretics would you give to a patient with CHF? With ESLD?
Biochemistry
Charts—get poster boards or tape together a ton of sheets of paper and try to write out every pathway you can to see how it all is integrated.
Always track the flow of energy!! Where is your NAD/ATP/etc?
Group pathways by the “point”. Are you destroying carbohydrates or building fats? How does this compare to other pathways that do the same thing?
Try to rewrite the pathways from memory then see what you missed.
I’ll probably add more to this list as I go and as more of you ask for specific subject advice, but here you go!!
When in doubt, always ask yourself “how would this be asked on a test?”. If you could write a test question about it, you should definitely know it!
And always remember that you should study for understanding and not just for a grade—always be learning and not memorizing. It’s more important you understand the material than you get the A!!
Happy studying!
My boyfriend is gonna freak when he comes in and sees all my textbooks and notes all over our room... Oops.
Muses of a Hmong wife, mother, and pharmacy student
It has been about 2 years since graduating from Pharmacy School. I became licensed as a Pharmacist in May of 2012. This was a huge milestone in my life. This meant all my hard work was going to finally pay off. I was finally going to get that six figure salary that many of us …
Intro to A&P Lecture Notes Part One: What is Anatomy?
What is anatomy?
Anatomy (ana- "apart"; tomy- "to cut"): referring to dissection, anatomy is the study of form/structure
Subdivisions of Anatomy:
Gross (overall) Anatomy is the study of larger structures, usually without magnification, visible to the naked eye:
- I. Surface Anatomy - study of body structures as they relate to the overlying skin
- II. Systemic Anatomy - study of a particular organ system
- III. Regional Anatomy - study of a particular region of the body that would encompass multiple organ systems
b. Microscopic Anatomy concerns structures too small to see without magnification
- I. Cytology (cyto - "cell") is the study of cells
- II. Histology (histo - "tissue") is the study of tissues
c. Developmental Anatomy deals with structural changes that occur from fertilization to death, and overlaps gross and microscopic anatomy
- Embryology concerns changes from fertilization to birth
Mechanisms to view anatomy without dissection
X-Rays: high frequency electromagnetic energy/radiation
- the most dense material reflects the ray, while the less dense will allow the rays to pass through
- X-Rays are considered to be ionizing radiation, radiation that cause breakage and mutation of DNA
CAT Scan, or Computed (Axial) Tomography: this uses X-Rays attached to a computer to create a section
Ultrasound: uses high frequency sound waves greater than 20 kilohertz
-Considered to be safe, non-iodizing
-Used for sonography
MRI or Magnetic Resonance Imaging: the patient lies within a strong magnetic field which causes some nuclei to align. A radiofrequency is used to alter the alignment, which is then picked up by a scanner. Non-iodizing.

This was the sky over Guam in the US earlier this week. The effect is caused by antisolar rays - rays of sunlight that converge at a point in the sky exactly 180° from where the Sun is. via ScienceAlert Read more: http://www.atoptics.co.uk/fz892.htm via Optic Picture of the Day
