You might want to check out hte websites listed under the sticky "websites"

Also, I have found the greatest help to me has been

Memory Notebook of Nursing (Vol. 1 & 2 )

Here are the ISBN's for each of them

0-9628210-8-X

1-892155-01-X

These two books were created by nurses for nursing students! Each page is a different picture with mnemonics to help you learn!

I love them!! Each module we study has had at least one thing that I have studied from the memory books!!

Good luck!

I would greatly appreciate any information and/or web sites that you may know of.

Thanks in advance for your help,

I just wish I would have had a computer when I was in nursing school. Would have made things so much easier. But they did not even have much internet when I was in school. Boy have things changed in the past 17 years.

I have that program on my palm. I love it because I can study it while my kids are in TaeKwonDo or sitting in the parking lot at their school - very useful!

Disabled - I know what you mean, I started nursing school in 86 (before the internet), got married in 87 and dropped out, and now starting again it is sooooo much easier with computers!

All Hail Bill Gates! :roll (Just kidding)

MONA for chest pain/MI

M:morphine

O:Oxygen

N:Nitro

A: Asprin
