Bro, what are field are you moving into that requires micro-bio? Studied a lot of that shit in college...
I have my CEN and CPEN (Certified Emergency and Pediatric Emergency) both proctored and they’re top three toughest along with Critical Care Cert. I can tell you the best techniques for me:
3). SMART DRUGS WORK. The Racetams are great while studying as is Adderall. Alpha GPC, Huperzine and Phosphatidylserine help with the actual test day by lowering anxiety and keeping neurotransmitters working high speed.
It's interesting. I was a nursing major. Got accepted and went half way through when I was informed I wouldn't be able to work if I continued in the program. Well, my wife got a full ride to the #3 Engineering school in the US and so I told her not to work anymore so she could focus. Since one of us has to work, I switched to Micro. A very well known govt agency is located (based) in my city where micro would be needed and it's a subject matter I'm very interested in. I enjoyed it immensely. The funny thing is a well know medical school is also in my city and they have a grad program (AA) which I may look into.
Bacteria and viruses have always fascinated me but when I was younger my parents said, either engineering or business (finance/accounting). Well, I don't like engineering and the funny thing is I really don't like finance either (that's my background) so I'm changing careers and doing something I enjoy now... that's my hopes at least. With micro, I could work in waste mgmt., water treatment, medicine, food, etc... it's so diversified it's crazy.
Registered Dietitian Exam.
Been working as just a degreed nutritionist since graduating in 2003, but got laid-off in May. I didn't need to have an RD (RDN) for the position I was in, while getting paid the same rate. I completed my dietetic internship in 2010. Just spent the summer with the kiddos, and will start studying for this bitch in a few months, lol. I already have people asking me to apply at their programs....DaVita/Dialysis, hospitals, etc. We'll see how it goes.
I have my CEN and CPEN (Certified Emergency and Pediatric Emergency) both proctored and they’re top three toughest along with Critical Care Cert. I can tell you the best techniques for me:
1). Write notes/outlines as you study. The material is “digested” once by your reading, then engages another pathway in the brain when you write it out. Once more when you read back the notes.
2). Teach the material. Nursing certifications are heavy on memorizing drugs, antidotes, standards of practice as opposed to theoretical or applied concepts. They’re memorize and regurgitate (like the NCLEX MCATs etc.). Working with a small group or partner will help all of you pass and you take turns with flash cards, running a study session or simply boring your mate to death at home by teaching them.
3). SMART DRUGS WORK. The Racetams are great while studying as is Adderall. Alpha GPC, Huperzine and Phosphatidylserine help with the actual test day by lowering anxiety and keeping neurotransmitters working high speed.
if you dont believe in what you want to do -- all your doing is wasting time
enjoy life is the key
