Ouch...

I have so much more respect for nurses after this week. Got to shadow a nurse since the doc wasn't in and saw how much crap they have to take from patients.

Yup...nurses are truly amazing 👍👍

I thought the techs had to deal with the literal ****. Do they really make nurses do that?

Yep. I've been elbow deep in **** many times. It all depends on what kind of nursing you are doing. I'm a paper pusher now, however.

We choose the catheter size for your IV and the Foley size for your pee pee. 🙂

They're absolutely free! You just have to pay $59.99 for shipping and handling. (The shipping part is cheap, but the handling part is really expensive. It just so happens to be the same price as the book)
 
Anyone willing to teach me what Hooke's law is all about and why EK is putting too much emphasis on it 😕

Physics can get tedious and boring...When I was studying the physics review notes I don't remember there being too much emphasis on hookes law in TBR. Just F=-kx and how to apply it. So far I don't recall using it much 😱

Handling is always expensive. :laugh:

We did like one problem in physics. 🙂

Agreed 😀

Yeah for some reason it's a huge deal in EK.. I have the TBR book but I honestly can't get myself to read those loooong chapters. Their passages are really good and MCAT-like though! (albeit slightly harder and more dependant on memorization)

I don't blame you...I only read through TBR for physics because I feel really weak in some areas 😳
 
Uh oh. I guess I gave you the false impression that I am good in physics since I am not studying out of TBR. 😀 I'll actually be really happy if I'll get a 10 in PS....

11 PS, 11 VR, 10 BS... My dream score. 🙂

I was like WTF with that wind problem in the first section. I got it right, but I was like...really? This is on the MCAT?

At the end of January...I need to look at the test dates for 2012 but probably the 28th or 29th. You?

September 2nd :scared::scared:

If I void this, I'll retake in January. Guess we can start the "Official 01/28-29 MCAT Thread" now 😀

I've thought about voiding one just to see what it is like.

This is the goal I'm working towards too! It's weird, I've been taking AAMC's lately, but have wildly fluctuating scores. On AAMC 7, I got a 9/11/14 and on AAMC 8 I got a 10/11/10. So my average is around 32ish, so I'm hoping for that score on the real thing! We can do it!!

I hope 9/2 is a good date for all of us 😳

Also, does anyone else have MAJOR issues with understanding meiosis? I love love love bio, but DO NOT understand meiosis for some goshdarn reason 😱

Hope so too KPaw! My scores in AAMCs have been consistent: usually around 10 and 11 in each section, but I am afraid that test day nervousness will get to me and my score will drop by a few points. And considering that I am barely one or two points above a 30 that'd be bad. 🙁

I don't understand it either. I just memorized the order of when things happen, but have no idea why they happen. 😀
 
Hahaha, I sucked so hard at bowling. I think I got more gutterballs than my other 4 friends combined. I either knocked like 8/9 down or got it in the gutter. I think I was last for both games we played... Oh well, it was good fun!

Hahaha I LOVE KPOP OMG. SHINee is a personal favorite 😀 My avatar is Wang Lee Hom, from the album cover of Heart Beat. I may or may not love him way too much 😛

It looks like we're in similar boats! I have yet to score an 11 on PS, I usually hover around 9 or 10, but am sooo inconsistent with BS. I guess if it hits topic areas I'm good at, I can score a 14, but if it hits my weaknesses, I end up with about a 10. Verbal thankfully has been consistently around an 11. I know, me too!! I'm a nervous test-taker, so I know my score will drop a few points just from that, so the fact that I'm hovering a few points above 30 doesn't bode well 😱

Hahahaha you understand my pain!!! I feel horrible: I took all these bio classes my freshman year, understood things like meiosis SO WELL, and then promptly completely forgot them. I used to understand the dynamics of microtubules and how things were transported across them and everything, and now barely even remember what a microtubule is. I feel like a terrible biology major. It's weird, it seems like the more complex the bio topic, the better I can handle it. I've never been good at mitosis/meiosis, but I'm decent at physiology. Zis no makes the sense 🙁

Check out Khanacademy.com. He has some really good videos on that subject. I don't understand it too well, either 😛

That happened to me, too when I played after awhile...it's really hard to figure out what to do again, especially when you go to different bowling alleys...

Haha, literally just watched his mitosis video. Pretty informative, I guess we don't have to know that stuff as in depth as we did in my bio classes, which is a good thing.

Now for the meiosis video...

Yeah, just basics. Haven't seen any detailed mitosis/meiosis stuff yet. It's probably low yield.
