Barb Bancroft is my hero. We watched some clips from her videos in class. My favorite line was "So this took you 4 months to get through in nursing school, and now you're going to learn it in 4 minutes!" And we did. She explained the RAAS pathway in the most straightforward way possible. I feel cheated having spent hours and hours hunched over a textbook trying to analyze diagrams last semester. It makes perfect sense when she explains it. She comes on a little strong, and I was initially afraid of her, but her drrrrryyyyy humor had me in stitches for the whole clip. The following isn't the clip we watched, but it's her, and you can see what I mean:

Anyway, back to the point - I'm a little concerned about this Pharmacology business. I just don't feel like I'm going to remember *anything* next January for clinical. I'm going to be married to my drug guide. In the wise words of NNR, I also correlate learning this stuff to learning to drive, where I am being handed the keys to an exciting but ultimately hazard-laden responsibility.

Anyway, I've been studying a lot for this final. It might be fun to post my study guide later, once I'm actually done with it!

I hope it goes well...
