What courses are the hardest??

I'm starting classes on the 23rd of this month, and I just wanted to know what courses for MA was the hardest for everyone?

Are You Still In School? Starting the 23rd

Are You Working? NO

Matching action with drug names and keyboarding.
By far the most trouble I had was understanding drug action.
I have no trouble keyboarding at my pace, I just barely got a C, I have old injuries and prefer an ergo keyboard over the straight. If I could just put my elbows into my ribs and still maintain my distance to the keyboard. Then keep text at the same level as the screen, I do ok with my progressive trifocals, just not speedy.

EKG. We didnt get enough training on it, and it is essential that you know a lot about it if you ever are going to take the CMA exam!

another one was the medication dosage. I dont do well with math!


Phlebotomy is a breeze, but that is my opinion.
I was so scared to do it at first, but now, I not only enjoy it, but am proficient with my blood draws and injections!
