An Essential Course If I Want to Become a Registered Nurse
When I grow up I want to become a registered nurse. Usually I ask myself questions like “Why I want to become a registered nurse?”, so in this essay I will explain why and what grade I took to improve my knowledge. To do good in the biology course a study technique I would use is to practise the content as well as, making colour coordinated notes to remember them as these have been successful for me in the past. I learn best by observing which is why having the content in this course colour coordinated is crucial. Also, doing hands-on activities helps me. For example, I would learn more by doing a hands-on lab rather than a sit-down lesson. Furthermore, a skill I want to improve is to become more responsible, not procrastinate and scramble to do an assignment the night it is due. During this course, I hope to expand on my knowledge and skills for science.
In biology for the unit diversity, I have a base understanding which is quite rusty. Some of it includes, how the cell organelles in a plant are structured and what most some of their functions are. For example, how Chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it along with carbon dioxide and water to make food for the plant. Moreover, In this area of biology the thing that interests me most has to be how viruses work and reproduce. I would also like to learn how viruses and fungi form.
For the unit about genetics in biology, I remember a lot. I recall the stages of mitosis and a brief description of what happens during each one of these steps. The topic of genetics that intrigues me most is how DNA and genetic mutations work hand in hand, such as the colour of eyes, hair, how twins are identical yet have different finger prints and more. Additionally, how a condition like a disease in a family can be transferred from one generation to the next would be something I would like to learn about as well. However, One thing I would like to learn is how cloning works as I find it extremely interesting
The topic of evolution in biology is the change in the characteristics of a species. I recall the information tree rings provide for the past climate of a location. The width of the tree ring is determined by the rate of which it is growing as one ring is produced each year. This explains the environmental conditions the tree had to adapt to, for example, dehydration (drought). However, what interests me most in evolution is how and why mammals such as humans have lost so much of the hair or fur on their bodies over time. What I would like to learn in this area is learning and memory in the wild with animals.
Internal systems are the unit I remember most about, such as how the organ systems function. Moreover, how the organs in the system depend on one another. For instance, the respiratory system and the circulatory system work together to transport oxygen to the cells. The circulatory system picks up oxygen in the lungs and later delivers it to the tissues in the body, while the lungs take out the carbon dioxide and bring in new air which includes oxygen. This shows how the organ systems need each other to make the body function correctly. What interests me most is if one organ system collapses all others would slowly shut down and lead the human to death. I would like to learn about the order of the heart cycle to extend my knowledge of the heart.
As previously mentioned, I decided to take biology as it is a prerequisite to get into the course for registered nurses. To be successful for me in this class means to be on top of my game, and getting the grades I wish to receive in this biology course. To do so, I would have to take informative and proper notes, as well as not end up slacking. The only concern I have for this class is completely missing a concept regardless of help. At times it gets hard for me to wrap my head around specific concepts not only in science but math as well.
