Book excerpt: From the author of the best-selling Survive CRNA School and the original CRNA Mnemonics, this book continues the mission of helping students get past the daunting task of becoming a nurse anesthetist. This is not meant as a replacement for the education you receive in school, but rather as a way to remember some of the difficult things that tend to slip away at times. For example, if you're having trouble keeping track of the classifications for the non-depolarizing muscle relaxants, it's covered in the Pharmacology section. Can't remember the GABA ligand binding sites or the indicators of soda lime exhaustion? You'll find that in the Anesthesia Basics section. Although this book is geared toward student CRNAs, it has helpful information that can be utilized by any type of aspiring anesthesia provider. Anesthesia school is an uphill battle that's difficult and exhausting for anyone brave enough to give it a shot. There's a reason it's hard. If it were easy, everyone would do it. But it can also be a very rewarding experience, especially once you're done. In the meantime, try to get any advantage you can to make your life easier. Even More CRNA Mnemonics does exactly that.

This fast and easy pharmacology review through pharmacology flash card mnemonics and fill-ins recognizes that many future nurses, doctors, physician assistants, and pharmacists (chemists) have families, jobs, and other responsibilities. Do you have time enough time to make 100% sure you will pass in the classroom or on the board exam? For most students taking the NCLEX, NAPLEX, USMLE Step-1, PANCE, GPHC, or KAPS exam, the answer is no. I wrote this mnemonic guide as an audiobook first to help you remember pharmacology drug names and principles quickly. While in the classroom you professors might say memorization doesn't matter, but you can't bring outside material to the board exam, so for this test, you do need to work on memory training. You already know the consequences of failing a class or board exam, so let's make sure that doesn't happen by getting pharmacology organized in your head once and for all.

Is your patient's rhythm a second degree, type I or a second degree type II? Nursing school can be a pain in the butt. Once you think you've got something down, another subject is thrown at you. It's nearly impossible to keep track of everything as a nursing student. You think you know your stuff, but have a hard time getting it out from your brain when it's needed.I feel your pain. I was in your shoes once and had the same problems in nursing school. I found mnemonics to be a life-saver for exams, clinicals, and questioning from preceptors. Some of the memory tricks in this book are well-known, but most of them were made up over the years by yours truly. Mnemonics are not meant to teach you the information. Rather, they are meant to jog your memory, which already holds the information somewhere deep inside. These are an aid, not an education. Inside, you'll find simple mnemonic devices that can be drawn from at a moment's notice. The idea isn't to retain the entire book after reading it for the first time. Instead, use it as a guide in your journey through nursing school and beyond. Whenever you come to a nursing topic you need reinforcement on, see if there's something here that might be able to help you.Even if you decide that the book isn't for you, visit us at www.kickassnursing.com.

Download or read book Make It Stick written by Peter C. Brown and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-14 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To most of us, learning something "the hard way" implies wasted time and effort. Good teaching, we believe, should be creatively tailored to the different learning styles of students and should use strategies that make learning easier. Make It Stick turns fashionable ideas like these on their head. Drawing on recent discoveries in cognitive psychology and other disciplines, the authors offer concrete techniques for becoming more productive learners. Memory plays a central role in our ability to carry out complex cognitive tasks, such as applying knowledge to problems never before encountered and drawing inferences from facts already known. New insights into how memory is encoded, consolidated, and later retrieved have led to a better understanding of how we learn. Grappling with the impediments that make learning challenging leads both to more complex mastery and better retention of what was learned. Many common study habits and practice routines turn out to be counterproductive. Underlining and highlighting, rereading, cramming, and single-minded repetition of new skills create the illusion of mastery, but gains fade quickly. More complex and durable learning come from self-testing, introducing certain difficulties in practice, waiting to re-study new material until a little forgetting has set in, and interleaving the practice of one skill or topic with another. Speaking most urgently to students, teachers, trainers, and athletes, Make It Stick will appeal to all those interested in the challenge of lifelong learning and self-improvement.
