   Kaplan, Thank you for the kind words. I hope this instructor does help me. I was one of maybe five women in our group that got a long with this instructor. I never had a problem with her, even given her reputation for being a real you know what. ...

   I tried doing that today, actually did Ok on the final and I have my final grade calculated out to within .4 of a percent of passing - but doubt I will.

4. How do you recover?

   LinH8 replied to LinH8's topic in General Students

   I took my final today, did better than expected but still would need a .4% to pass. I've been dealing with the anxiety for two semesters now and my instructor has helped as far as different methods of actually taking exams. We have a tutor and she'...

5. How do you recover?

   LinH8 posted a topic in General Students

   I'm right on the line of failing med/surg II. I would need like .4 of a percent to pass, I know this instructor isn't going to swing that and I don't expect her to. But how do you recover if you fail a class? My self esteem is in the toilet and my...

6. What do you all have?

   LinH8 replied to SweetNSassyRN2B's topic in General Students

   I have a Palm TX as well, haven't gotten a keyboard yet. If I could just figure out why a fully charged PDA freezes or just shuts off for no apparent reason I'd probably pony up the money for a keyboard. I HATE this thing.

    LinH8 replied to mommyoffour's topic in Pennsylvania

    Thank you! I'm going to look into the RN mags and have already located the Mosby all in one for real cheap. Thank you so much for your help. I just read that you work at Conemaugh. I have a cousin who works at Lee hospital down there. I don't k...

    LinH8 replied to mommyoffour's topic in Pennsylvania

    June, I am three weeks shy of finishing my first year at WCCC. About careplan books, can you recommend a good one for OB/Peds? We have been trained to really hone our careplans, they place a large emphasis on them so with next year having OB/Peds ...
