2. Does it seem like EVERYONE is trying to be a nurse?

   BreatheFree replied to mrs.tt's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I agree that it does feel that way especially when talking to people in my classes. I was going for nursing, however, in the last few months I have changed my major to respiratory therapy.

6. A&P I is not going well

   BreatheFree replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Not to sound mean but if you have tried almost all of our ideas INCLUDING the audio ones (itunes, reading your own notes, etc.) then a different teacher might not help either.

7. A&P I is not going well

   BreatheFree replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I will once again suggest recording yourself going over the notes and then playing it back. I know it sucks but it also sounds like you are making a lot of excuses.

8. A&P I is not going well

   BreatheFree replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I wanted to add that if you learn by listening then you should record yourself reading your notes and then play it back. Like others have said, it sucks that you have a terrible teacher but you are in charge of your education. Good luck with the de...

   BreatheFree replied to Kyla.ann's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I also white out pages and make photo copies. Repetition seems to be the only thing that works for me.

10. A&P1 and micro?

    BreatheFree replied to TaraRae123's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks for answering my question. I am currently a CNA in a ltc facility. Not exactly in love with my job and one of the home health agencies here is hiring. However, I didn't think I could apply since I have not taken the home health aide class.

15. Nursing School and Being a Mom?

    BreatheFree replied to kendra1978's topic in General Students

    It sounds like you have a good plan in place. The only thing I would recommend as a fellow mother of four is that the semester that you have the baby don't take any classes. I had my youngest while going to school and I am so glad that I took off t...
