Cheat Sheet

For those of you who don't know, I am a pre-nursing student. My goal is to become a Registered Nurse. It has taken me a long time, but I am almost ready to start applying to Nursing Schools...(WOO!!)

With Nursing being my major, there are a lot of science classes to be taken. These science classes are really tough and require between 12-20 hours of studying a week. That doesn't even include the 10 hours I am in school for that one class! When I started taking physiology this semester, I was so surprised to hear that we got a cheat sheet for our tests. "A cheat sheet??", I thought...this must be some kind of joke! I have never been allowed a cheat sheet on any test in college...EVER!

After I confirmed with my teacher this was not a joke, I got my cheat sheet all ready for our first exam...it took me 5 hours to complete, but I was able to fit about half of the information we had to have memorized.


A quarter of the way through


The final product...never thought I could write that small

It was a lot of writing, and I had to take many breaks because my hand was cramping so much. It paid off though, I did really well on my test! I am so glad the first exam is done...only 4 more to go!

  2. Cheat sheets are the best! I'm glad you did good on your test, and you're almost done with all your pre-reqs. Is your hand still sore? Probably is!
