1. Is this one of your first few college courses? If not, what other courses have you taken? Do you have any other degrees?
- This is not my first college that I have attend. I transfer from Rutgers University- New Brunswick. I was in Rutgers for almost 3 years majoring in Biological Sciences. Since I did not finish 4 years, I do not have any degree.
2. Have you developed a system that has helped you be a successful student? What was it?
- Yes, I have developed a system which helps me to be successful, which is being positive, staying focused and maintaining a schedule that keeps me on track with my studies.
3. What has been your most difficult challenge in school? Test anxiety? Writing papers? Study skills? Note taking? Why?
- The most difficult challenge for me in school was writing papers and test anxiety. Since English is my second language, I still have trouble writing a well-structured paper. In rutgers I had to take Expository writing, where we had to write five well developed papers for the whole semester, and I struggled through the first few. It was extremely hard for me to organize my ideas onto the paper. Luckily, there was a writing center that I could attend and improved my writing. Second challenge was test anxiety, I used to get nervous before the exam even if I studied enough. When the instructor hands me the exam, I have to breath heavily because of the nervousness and it caused me to forget what I studied.
4. As of today, what do you see as the biggest challenge for you in nursing school?
- The biggest challenge for me in nursing school right now is getting assignments done on time. Since this is an accelerated program, many assignments are due in one week, which makes me nervous and feel like it will be hard for me to keep track of everything. But I am trying to stay positive and following my schedule in order to succeed. [Show Less]
