We all get it.  That nervous—sometimes paralyzing—anxiety just before a big exam.  Or worse—we panic and forget even the simplest things during a big test.

Test anxiety.  It’s not just annoying, it can affect your performance.  And your grades!

And final exams are almost upon us.

Recent research has revealed an easy and effective trick for reducing test anxiety during your next big test.  You do this trick just before the test.  I mean in the few minutes you have just before the text begins.  You know, that time you are sitting in the hallway nervously awaiting for the doors to open and the test to begin. Listening to your classmates talk about all that stuff you’re not sure you know well enough.  Frantically going over your notes one last time.  Making yourself a nervous wreck.

OK, so what is this nifty trick?

Journal your anxiety.

What?!  Write out my feelings like in a middle-school diary?

Well, yes—sort of.  Research shows that if you take about ten minutes to write out (not just think about) your feelings at the moment, you’ll feel less anxious during your exam.  And because of that (the research shows) you will do better on the exam! 

On average, students that use this technique raise their grade and average of one whole letter grade.  So even if you think it’s silly, isn’t it worth trying?

Students in a research study reported that by writing out their feelings, they quickly got to a point of calm and confidence.  The writing somehow took the energy out of the anxiety and replaced nervousness with readiness. 

So on exam day.  Get there ten minutes early.  Ignore the raving of your frantic pals.  And just write what’s going through your head.  When the exam starts, you’ll be ready for it.

The LPN education requirements differ slightly from state to state, but in general the minimum requirements are a high school diploma or equivalent (GED). Most colleges or vocational schools also require that you have the following prior to submitting an application: Developmental Psychology, English composition, Math, human anatomy & physiology, human anatomy & physiology II, and microbiology. Another of the LPN requirements is that you are at least 18 years of age. Some institutions also require that applicants are endorsed by two professionals such as professors, principals, guidance counselors or employers, in terms of general personality traits. A drug and criminal background check will also be done.

When applying to study to become and LPN you will be required have at least a 2.5 GPA in the above courses and a "C" or better in maths. The LPN requirements mean that you will have to produce official transcripts of your school. If your Academic Skills Assessment Program scores are below those required you may be required to complete a developmental courses in English and math. Good scores in the LPN education requirements are very important as most colleges do not have a lot of openings on their courses and admission is more often than not based on the cumulative score you get from the Math, Reading, Writing, and Science admission tests, related courses you took in high school or college, work experience and location and any post secondary degree or diploma you may have.

The LPN requirements remain the same whether you do a LPN Degree Training Program at a community college or vocational school or an LPN Degree Course at a nursing college. The training programs generally take twelve months and can often be done online. If you do one of the programs ensure that the program is approved or accredited by your states Board of Nursing. Training done at nursing colleges generally takes between twelve and twenty-four months to complete and include hands-on training at a community hospital or health care facility. These courses also include medical surgical nursing, medical calculation, psychiatric nursing, pediatric nursing, nutrition, physiology, CPR and anatomy.

After completing your course you will have fulfilled all of the LPN education requirements, but completing the course is only the first step. One of the main LPN requirements that you have to comply with before you will be able to practice as a Licensed Practical Nurse is obtaining licensure. This can be done by passing a certificate exam called NCLEX-PN which is a computer based multi choice exam containing between 150 to 200 questions.

The study of anatomy, however, is not and cannot be as dynamic as the life science study of how the human body actually works and how the parts of the body behave and interact with each other. This science is called human physiology.

The bodys organization

The body is organized on four different levels:

1. Chemical - at the very smallest and base level, the body consists of atoms and molecules



2. Cellular- on the next level, the atoms and molecules make up cells. Cells are the bodys base level structure. The body consists of various kinds of cells which include: white and red blood cells; fat cells; muscle cells and nerve cells



3. Tissue - The body contains just 4 tissue types: muscle; nervous; epithelial; and connective tissue. Tissue consists of cell groups & the surrounding matter which both function together to do a specific job.



4. Organ- an organ consists of 2 or more kinds of tissue. Organs have specific shapes and perform different individual functions. The liver, for example, is a vital organ responsible for many things including detoxifying the body and producing biochemicals, called bile, to help digestion. The liver consists of nervous, connective and muscle tissue.

The bodys systems

The body is made up of ten different systems which work together to make the body function. These systems are: Endocrine system; Nervous system; Circulatory system; GastroIntestinal system; Integumentary system; Respiratory system; Urinary system; Reproductive system; Musculoskeletal system; Immune system.

The way in which the bodys systems work and interact with each other is called integration. Many systems, whilst they have their own specific function, work in parallel with other systems to ensure the body works as it should.

The way in which the bodys systems talk to each other is called communication. It is vital that all parts of the body know whats going on in other parts of the body so that optimum performance can be achieved.

When everything is working well in the body and it is operating efficiently and normally, it is said to be in a state of homeostasis. However, this balance is a delicate one and many things can go wrong with the body - be it for external or internal reasons. The body then reacts to try and correct the balance using its various systems but it cannot always achieve this. This is where modern day medicine steps in to try and fix what the body itself cannot.

The study of human physiology and anatomy has been around for over 2000 years. The research by pioneers such as Aristotle and Hippocrates was quite basic but kicked off the more complex life science study we know today. Modern day human physiology however gives us the knowledge to learn more about how our bodies work thus helping all of us to live longer and healthier lives.

1. Integumentary - This law includes the skin and its appendages (hair, nails, and specialized sweat- and oil-producing glands). Its traditional function is protection. For example, the skin protects the basal tissue from invasion by harmful bacteria, bars entry of most chemicals, and minimizes the chances of mechanical injury to basal structures.

2. Skeletal - The skeletal law includes bones and related tissues such as cartilage and ligaments, which furnish the body with a rigid framework for maintain and protection. The skeletal law also makes potential the movements of body parts.

3. Muscular - The muscular system, consisting of the private skeletal muscles, makes movement potential and generates the heat required for maintaining a constant core body temperature. Voluntary muscles are so called because their contractions are under known control. Involuntary or flat muscle tissue is found in blood vessel walls, other tubular structures and in the lining of hollow organs such as the stomach and small intestine. Cardiac muscle is the specialized muscle tissue of the heart.

4. Nervous - The nervous law is composed of the brain, spinal cord and nerves. The nervous law makes potential communication between body functions, integration and control of body functions, and recognition of sensory stimuli.

5. Endocrine - The endocrine law is composed of specialized glands that secrete chemicals known as hormones directly into the blood. The organs of the endocrine law are sometimes called ductless glands. The endocrine law is similar to the nervous law in that it also provides communication, integration and control, but it does it in a slower and longer-lasting way by hormone secretion. Hormones are also the main regulators of metabolism, pregnancy and other body activities. They play foremost roles in fluid and electrolyte balance, acid-base equilibrium and power metabolism.

6. Cardiovascular (Circulatory) - The cardiovascular law includes the heart, arteries, veins and capillaries. The traditional function of this law is transportation. communication needs comprise continuous movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide, nutrients, hormones, and other foremost substances. This law also helps regulate body temperature by distributing heat throughout the body and by assisting in retaining or releasing heat from the body by regulating blood flow near the body surface. Specialized cells of the circulatory law can also come to be complicated in immunity.

7. Lymphatic - The lymphatic law is composed of lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels and specialized lymphatic organs such as the tonsils, thymus and spleen. The lymph law moves fluids and inevitable large molecules from the tissue spaces around the cells and moves fat-related nutrients from the digestive tract back to the blood. It also plays a role in the functioning of the immune system, which is the defense mechanism of the body against disease.

8. Respiratory - The respiratory law includes the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs. Its traditional function is to permit the movement of air into the alveoli, which are the tiny thin-walled sacs of the lungs. In these sacs, oxygen from the air is exchanged for carbon dioxide, a waste product, which is then carried to the lungs by the blood so that it can be eliminated from the body. The respiratory law is also complicated in regulating the acid-base equilibrium of the body.

9. Digestive - The digestive law is composed of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum and anal canal (primary organs), as well as the teeth, salivary glands, tongue, liver, gallbladder, pancreas and appendix (secondary organs). All of the organs of the digestive law work together to ensure proper digestion and absorption of nutrients.

10. Urinary - The urinary law includes kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. The traditional function of this law is the elimination of waste from the body. Other organs of the body are also complicated in the elimination of body wastes, such as the lungs and skin.

11. Reproductive (consisting of a male subdivision and a female subdivision) - The pregnancy law is composed of gonads (testes), vas deferens, prostate, penis and scrotum in the male, and gonads (ovaries), uterus, fallopian tubes, vagina and mammary glands in the female. The purpose of this law is the procreation of life, insuring survival of humankind.
