   WhitDogg19 replied to brownrice's topic in NP

   Happy New Year! I have a copule of opinions for you. 1. For a stethoscope, you want quality for your NP clinicals (I am on an NP track as well). Try one of the Littmann stethoscopes. You can get them from places like Allheart.com or the actual L...

   WhitDogg19 replied to birthmamaew's topic in New Nurse

   I haven't taken my NCLEX yet, but I have also been using the Saunders NCLEX review book. It is different from the rest of the books because not only does it give you a ton of practice questions, but it also gives you an explanation as to why an answ...

   WhitDogg19 replied to nursemommyof3's topic in General Students

   Books are nuts! It makes me so angry that we have to pay that much for paper and words! But, I guess it is what we get out of them that counts....... I spent $756 on 20 books for my first semester. I spent $25 on a membership card at Barnes & ...

10. Any tips for those of us taking Micro?

    WhitDogg19 replied to LindseyLou2222's topic in General Students

    Out of all my pre-req's, micro was probably my favorite (although it ran a close second to Organic - YEAH RIGHT! :rotfl: ). The class itself is very interesting, however you are right, identifying the unknowns can be extremely difficult. All I ...

    WhitDogg19 replied to goober's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Goober, and everyone else who has been repeatedly put down because you look so young! I have also been spoken down to more times than I can count, and not just in the work place, but at the movies, at the store for lottery tickets, and anything ...

13. What school do/did you go to?

    WhitDogg19 replied to blee1's topic in Male Students

    WhitDogg19 replied to RNinJune2007's topic in General Students

    PS - don't worry about the BLS class. Do you already have the book? If you already have the book, read through the book carefully, do the practice tests, and make sure you know the practical material ( if you want, you can practice CPR on a pillow...
