   I'm currently taking pharm and, in addition to listening in class and reading the covered chapters, I bought Pharmacology for Nursing Made Incredibly Easy. It helps me understand the material better. I also make drug cards, which include the drug f...

   cjbarnes2006 replied to ryangogogo's topic in General Students

   At the nursing school I attend, graduating with honors applies only to nursing course work. But, every student does the pre-requisite courses at another institution and transfers in, so really it levels the playing field. That being said, you have to...

   I wasn't saying to never use half.com, as I have used it often in the past and will continue to do so in the future. It was just a word of caution. My best advice is to make sure you check seller ratings, etc. I got lax because I assumed that if so...

5. Textbooks for Nursing School

   cjbarnes2006 replied to toast40's topic in General Nursing

   Be careful of Half.com. They have a "buyer protection policy" that isn't. I ordered a book there that I never received, after contacting the seller with no response I filed a claim. That was in August. They are still "investigating." Meanwhile, I a...

   My sister named her baby Baiyleigh (pronounced like Bay-lee) Rae (ray). I had a child in my toddler class whose name was Preciosa, and I went to school with a girl named Tequila. My daughter's name is Hannah, and when we picked it out I wanted some...

    There are several nurses in my family and everyone I know has recommended Littman to me. I was also told, though, not to spend a lot of money on one for school because of the likelihood of theft and the rough treatment. I have the Littman Classic II ...

    I believe I remember being told that you will be asked if you prefer morning, evening, or overnights and that they will TRY to accomodate the area you live in (i.e. by not putting someone from the northwest side of Houston in a southeast hospital loc...

    No, but I got ANOTHER official transcript evaluation in the mail that I THOUGHT was my admission letter. I jumped up and down and did a dorky dance, only to open it and find the third transcript eval I have received to date. It felt like false adver...

    Like anything else it probably depends on the professor. I know clinical space is hard to come by though, the woman who interviewed me told me because most of the nursing schools in the area (ADN and BSN alike) have increased their class size clinic...
