1. HELP!!!

   budhead replied to christyb33's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I agree with Saysfaa. You'll never have the time with your children back again. And this is a time in their lives they need their mother, even if they don't think so. Slow down, take the time to enjoy your children. Time flies, and before you kno...

2. Starting A&P

   budhead replied to Marissad6111991's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It is a challenging course, but if you commit the time and effort, you'll do fine. You have to read the text(s), and read them again, and make notes while you read, and review your notes. Try to record lectures and listen to the recordings, perhaps...

3. Life as a Nurse

   budhead replied to mushymash's topic in General Nursing

   For someone who is on a path to enter the nursing field, this is a discouraging post. I hope this is the exception, and not the norm. I'm very excited about my future in this field, feeling I could do a lot of good - I hope I'm not writing a simila...

   budhead replied to burnedoutRNinSC's topic in Men

   jpizzle11 i cannot begin to express how offended i am by your post. yours is a reprehensible argument. abuse should not be tolerated by anyone. just because some members of group one may have been abused more than members of group two does not gi...

5. 25 YO w/ toddler & 35 wks pregnant...Help w/ classes for next semester?

   budhead replied to Wan2BRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Two is a whole other world than one. As Anne36 wondered, are you alone, lots of family, working, not...all play into it, but I would agree one max, and probably better an easier class - definitely not A&P!

6. AP 100 question..?

   budhead replied to windmill182's topic in Pre-Nursing

   obviously i'm not going to reveal that information... i will say, though, that i'm sitting here reading about sarcomeres, i an a bands, m and z lines, and wondering exactly how this is going to apply to my nursing career. and i could pull numerous e...

7. AP 100 question..?

   budhead replied to windmill182's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I believe I was told Sage College in Albany, NY. A quick look on their site shows a human physio course requirement, so perhaps there is no formal anatomy course requirement. I agree, based on what I'm learning, that A&P would seem necessary. ...

8. AP 100 question..?

   budhead replied to windmill182's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My professor has stated that A&P is really not a critical course to become a nurse. Apparently some schools don't require it at all. With this in mind, I would love to be able to take it online. Yes, there's a lot of material, but the online p...

9. I need help memorizing the tissues!

   budhead replied to JadenRN TO BE's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Collect, from the Internet, various images of slides of the different tissues so you can compare and contrast even examples of the same tissues so you can identify them more easily. Relying on just one example, say from a textbook, can hurt you when ...

11. Need suggestions about schedule/direction

    budhead replied to OBplease's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Have you thought about volunteering at a hospital? I would think it would provide you with good insight into some of the inner workings, and provide you with experience that you could accentuate when it's time to start looking for a job after you fi...

12. Need suggestions about schedule/direction

    budhead replied to OBplease's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I may be misunderstanding.... You want to apply in January for the nursing program that starts in September, but you can't because you haven't yet completed AP2? AP2 is a prereq, not a coreq? You can't apply with the understanding that you will co...
