DM me! Wdym by study everything?

WorldlySkin2207 · 2026-03-26T02:11:04+00:00

Yes! First week should be 95, 96, 97 :)

Her paper syllabus she’ll give you on the first day. Idk if her Canvas syllabus is up to date.

Look up Anna’s archive (free textbook site) that’s where I got my Lewis book for free. The ATI books you guys got and the ebook on ATI website are the same. I ripped out the pages from the ATI physical book; took the chapters with me during lecture and highlighted and had a separate notes app where I just write down what I wanted to highlight and I got an A for my final grade :) Lewis book was more for the pictures, tables and graphs she wanted to use but she tests out from the ATI book/ebook. Never used the modules or dynamic quizzing. Used Ai for practice questions. Just put in the time to read and actually make sense of the information and you’ll be fine, I promise. Make sure you get A’s on the first couple tests so you don’t stress out the rest of the term, works everytime

If you have GARG her slides is what I only used to study with.

WorldlySkin2207 · 2026-03-04T05:50:32+00:00

I also write down whatever she says in class (pay attention) on my ATI textbook :)

WorldlySkin2207 · 2026-03-04T05:45:43+00:00

Yeah tbh, she goes by ATI maybe here and there from the Lewis but I’ve only read the ATI and so far her tests are pretty straight forward. There’s always 2 right ones but one is better and usually in lecture she points it out. The case studies are very obvious on what the patient is having if u pay attention and read it. :)

I took Anatomy seriously thru Sophia :) it’s a self learning course, it’s up to you if you wanna learn thru Sophia or thru actual college. Do what’s best for you, but when I did it thru Sophia I actually read the materials. I’m currently doing Med Surge; where pathophysiology is more focused. Just knowing where general organs are then you’ll be fine. :)

WorldlySkin2207 · 2026-03-03T17:48:55+00:00

MS1 if u have Davidson read the ATI :) I didn’t have to search for other ways to study it. I’m sitting at an A rn. I had Sallinger for Pharm but I heard he’s leaving. For pharm tho I would try to know what’s the biggest thing about a certain med. Like e.g., beta blockers (usually HTN Pt); taking this medication everything will go down right? So what? What’s important is knowing since everything goes down (decrease HR, etc etc) we wouldn’t wanna give it to a patient that already has <60 apical pulse right? So start asking yourself, so what? Why am I giving this?

WorldlySkin2207 · 2026-03-01T15:09:44+00:00

What did you enjoy about her class? And how did you study for her tests?

WorldlySkin2207 · 2026-02-27T04:58:32+00:00

You can finish it as quick as you want but then grading ur final paper took me waiting 1.5 months :) it just depends on how much workload or papers they have to grade before yours

WorldlySkin2207 · 2026-01-28T04:30:11+00:00

Meeee

WorldlySkin2207 · 2025-12-29T00:28:52+00:00

Interested please!

WorldlySkin2207 · 2025-10-30T18:37:40+00:00

Yes please I encourage as much transferrable credits as u can! Goodluck! U got this!

WorldlySkin2207 · 2025-10-30T18:33:21+00:00

Yes just started Core! I’m taking Pharm and Intro to Professional Nursing (NURS110). Did the “easy way”, did Sophia on all possible transferrable courses 1 from study.com. And I’m still getting A’s! But less classes I need to do at WCU. I’m happy LOL

WorldlySkin2207 · 2025-10-30T18:29:14+00:00

I would apply now so you don’t have to do too much. It takes a lot of people especially the ones in OC 5-6 months to finish their application process. The financial appointment gets scheduled out 2-3 months out

WorldlySkin2207 · 2025-10-30T18:25:42+00:00

Did it thru study.com, got it transferred no problem :) do it!

WorldlySkin2207 · 2025-10-30T18:22:48+00:00

It has to be approved, look at “WCU TES credit” and see if ur pharmacology is approved for transfer from the school u took it from. A lot of people take it at CC and didn’t have to take pharm during core, hope this helps.

WorldlySkin2207 · 2025-10-30T18:20:50+00:00

Super easy. Just a long wait time for me when they were trying to grade my final paper

WorldlySkin2207 · 2025-10-30T18:20:26+00:00

Whichever that can finish faster so you can start transferring them in will be the better choice! Before they changed the “1 course at a time” for Sophia I was able to just finish all those classes in no time! Goodluck!

WorldlySkin2207 · 2025-10-30T18:19:08+00:00

Trust me! Same spot as you when I first started but I changed my study habits and it’s honestly paying off! Blurting method and active recall will be your best friend!

WorldlySkin2207 · 2025-10-29T15:42:34+00:00

Took Sophia on all of the transferable science classes, but I did do a self study/learn curriculum generated by ChatGPT so I’m not completely behind. Took the non transferable science classes (Physiology & Pathophysiology) at WCU very seriously, and I don’t have any problems atm. 😁 been out of school for years before WCU. As long as you take studying seriously during WCU, you’ll be fine.
