jdp97d Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Maybe someone can help me. I know this is crazy but I work in a ER as a tech and I am just getting started working on classes to earn my bachelors to attend a PA school. I had some set backs due to medical problems in the past that are now taken care of. I have always struggled when it comes to certain areas of science such as Chemistry. Are there any places anyone would recommend to help me, In this area. any input would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latina PA Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Tutoring, tutoring, tutoring……..and more tutoring. If you can get it for free through your University, online or if you have to pay for it that is the best way to get through the Chemistries. I spent hours studying and lots of $$ to get through them.

Moderator EMEDPA Posted November 30, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 30, 2013 a study guide helps as well for each science course: http://www.amazon.com/Chemistry-Made-Simple-Moore-Ed-D/dp/0767917022/ref=sr_sp-atf_title_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1385855250&sr=1-2&keywords=chemistry+made+ridiculously+simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AREID Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Make sure to take advantage of office hours the professor has. OChem was horrible for me. But I made sure to go over material w my professor every week. Do not feel bad, that is part of their job. You just have to be willing to do it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalfluff Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Don't be too worried if you find one class particularly tough. OChem and Biochem are notorious for chewing students out, whether in undergrad, med school, or PA school. These ridiculously simple books are very good resources. Here are two some of my classmates used: http://www.amazon.com/Clinical-Biochemistry-Ridiculously-Simple-Medmaster/dp/094078095X/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1386111048&sr=1-4&keywords=chemistry+made+ridiculously+simple http://www.amazon.com/Clinical-Pharmacology-Made-Ridiculously-Simple/dp/1935660004/ref=pd_sim_b_4 The pharmacology book is very nice to have as well, to help you understand the very abstract world of chemistry. You don't need to ace these classes either. You just need to pass them at PA school. From what I recall as well, each PA program requires only certain chemistry courses for their pre-reqs. Check the ones you plan to apply to. There's no need to beat yourself up taking OChem/Biochem if they're not required prerequisites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
