1. A&P 1 Spring 2010

   liquidblue replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I start on Monday. I'm just taking A&P and then an algebra class. I started working on my degree awhile back, then dropped, now trying to get in again. I tried to pick an A&P professor that had good (and numerous) reviews. Have had an exp...

2. A & P 1 Spring 2010

   liquidblue replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It's the same way around here, everything is closed/waitlisted. I've read good reviews about the Netter's flash cards, but there are others out there. I think someone mentioned Barron's (http://www.amazon.com/Barrons-Anatomy-Flash-Cards-Albertine/dp...

3. A & P 1 Spring 2010

   liquidblue replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yeah, I am going to get mine from Amazon. It says there is also an access provided for some online site that you can access all of the flashcards on if you don't have them with with you. Here is the link I went to: http://www.amazon.com/Netters-Ana...

4. A & P 1 Spring 2010

   liquidblue replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm with you! I am dreading it, lol, but have to get it over with. I am getting ready to order the Netter's Anatomy Flashcards. I actually am re-taking this class (withdrew last time due to some circumstances that came up...)

5. Has anyone had to dig themselves out of a hole gradewise?

   liquidblue replied to Squirmy McCoy's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yeah, I've kind of been where you are. I got SO close, and then a bunch of things happened, and I really lost my motivation. I am finally getting back on track. It has been HARD, but you can do it! Keep your eyes on the end result - graduating, a...

6. If you could study before A & P I, what would you have done to get ahead before it??

   liquidblue replied to vizzle's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The hardest part for me was the bones. I would have been fine if I had thought to start memorizing ahead of time! My recommendation is start studying the bones (and muscles, if you have lots of spare time) ahead of time. Make flash cards, write ou...

7. Do you wear your seatbelt

   liquidblue replied to Iam46yearsold's topic in Emergency

   Yes, I wear my seatbelt. I usually automatically reach for it after entering the car. =)

8. A&PI&II cumulative final!!

   liquidblue replied to htinker's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I don't know how soon your exam is, but if you have time, TALK to your instructor. A good instructor will be willing to meet with you and provide study information to prepare for a final exam. My instructors used to pass out the old tests, and we w...

9. Is it okay to take all pre-reqs for 2nd degree BSN programs online?

   liquidblue replied to mina11's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would say it is definitely possible to take the non-science prerequisites online. I took the majority of my english, psychology, and history classes online via a community college. The sciences (chemistry, anatomy & physiology, and microbiolo...

10. Advice: Current undergrad, low gpa, accel-BSN program?

    liquidblue replied to HoneyOats's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Have you taken any of the science prerequisites for the nursing program? If you already have, and scored lower than you like, I would encourage you to re-take some those. If not, I would say just plan on doing very well when you do take the science...

11. General biology V.S A&P 1

    liquidblue replied to dolphinlover's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Sand_Dollar did a pretty good job of listing what is covered in each class. I will say that general biology was A LOT easier for me compared to anatomy and physiology. I think it was the combination of all the new material, plus the many terms, th...

12. Re-Take College Algebra and/or Chemistry Classes?

    liquidblue replied to Mr_Tom's topic in Pre-Nursing

    The nursing program that I hope to get operates on a "points" system for admission. We get more points for higher grades, and less points for lower grades. If your program operates the same way, and you can get additional points for bringing up tho...

13. Employee Privacy?

    liquidblue replied to strider1500's topic in General Nursing

    The only reason we would have any labs drawn at the pre-employment screening is if the immunization records are not present or complete. There is a choice of either taking the required immunizations, or having titers checked. However, my records we...

14. Post Offer Pre-Employment Health Screen

    liquidblue replied to anglenwhiteshoes's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I'm surprised you had to fill out such a lengthy history form. I think mine was maybe two pages. Our pre-employment health screening was basically a meeting with the employee health nurse to determine that we were fit to do the job for which w...

15. Ever Gotten STUCK w/a Needle???

    liquidblue replied to nitesky83's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, in working as a phlebotomist I did get stuck by a dirty needle, once. The patient (out of the blue) decided to start moving her arm, and I just happened to be using my index finger to palpate/figure out where to redirect the needle. So, of co...
