1. Statistics Class

   Doug85 replied to Nathalie's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hate to discourage you, but I really haven't found a good site for statistics. The best way to master the material is repetition. Here's what you do: When the teacher does a practice problem on the board, write it down! Write every step that they...

2. I'm A NERVOUS Wreck!!!

   Doug85 replied to Rae_French's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Lots of good advice here. I know the 4.0 means a lot to you, but if you're truly learning the material and still wind up with a B, there is NO shame whatsoever in that. NONE! I was in your shoes for the spring semester- I was dead set on getting a...

   I hear ya- I'm already considering going into EMT school for the fall after talking with some of the paramedics there. I agree with you 100% about making contacts within your future career as well.

4. for those that are done with a&p and chem

   Doug85 replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hey, that's a good idea! You would be surprised how much the two courses can be alike. I honestly am concerned for you though as you are working 40 hrs/week and going to school fulltime...that's a huge schedule there. Best of luck to ya!

5. Anyone gone through A+P 1+2 and not cover a system?

   Doug85 replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I know- it's actually too good to be true. I know in nursing school I'm really going to hit that system hard!

   Doug85 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   It is awesome! It was my first time working in a hospital setting and I was pretty much blown away at first. I will be transporting patients, talking to family, etc. Has anyone else done this? As for me, I'm just happy I got my foot in the door- it's...

10. Male RN's in demand ?

    Doug85 replied to roxburin's topic in Male Students

    I don't know if we have an advantage in the hiring, but do males have an advantage when it comes to getting accepted into a nursing school?

11. Summer A&PII Students: Can I help you?

    Doug85 replied to Doug85's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks- I don't want to sell on eBay or amazon; I figure I'd help out fellow nursing students here first.

12. Having a strong stomach

    Doug85 replied to nev's topic in Pre-Nursing

    This thread reminds me of our blood lab in A&P2...needless to say, I was completely embarrassed that I almost fainted trying to stick myself. It wasn't easy, because I'm not usually soft like that!
