1. Nature's Classroom?

   whealer replied to hotflashion's topic in Camp

   I haven't worked there BUT I went there when I was 6th grade for a week and absolutely loved it. We dissected owl pellets, and my luckier friends decided pregnant pigs and sharks. We also re-enacted the underground railroad and the salem witch trials...

2. IV clinics for hangovers

   whealer replied to floridaRN38's topic in Entrepreneurs

   I heard about the one in Las Vegas too... I think it's called Hangover Heaven.

3. My obamacare experience

   whealer replied to coast2coast's topic in NP

   I don't know about anyone else in NY State, but right now our medical practice isn't participating in any plans offered on the Health Exchange. It sucks because so many of our patients are choosing to switch over. Nice to hear that so far it's yield...

4. The 4-Generation Gap in Nursing

   whealer replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Management

   I love Medscape too! Overall I don't think the categories are bad intrinsically; it is just how nurse managers use them. What I take away from the article is how certain events - specifically in medicine and health - can affect generations in a given...

5. Where do you get your books?!

   whealer replied to JayCimone's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Amazon. I've always had a great experience with them. Their kindle versions of books are kind of annoying to use, though. I use chegg to supplement what I can't get at Amazon. I hate their iPad app; it worked maybe 30% of the time.

6. Want to go into nursing, but seriously off track, help?

   whealer replied to VitruvianMan's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think most of what you're asking really requires you to investigate your choices a little deeply; that's not something that we can do for you. In my personal opinion you should finish your BA in history... you already put effort into studying this ...

7. 4.0 Challenge!

   whealer replied to Technicolourhobo's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I got an A for Anatomy & Physiology Lectute, a B for A&P Lab, and an A for Developmental Psych = 3.9 GPA. Close enough!

   Well said!

9. Affordable Care Act Users Guide for Nurses

   whealer replied to Jb4564's topic in Activism

   I work at a major medical office where we just had training about the ACA. Most, if not all of what the OP wrote down is factual. Also, personally I think it benefits all of us nurses to be well informed about how the ACA affects our patients, regar...

10. How do you pay for School

    whealer replied to Crew2Nursing's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I work part time at a doctors office and have financial aid. Next semester I'm applying for a scholarship. I also joined the NSNA (National Student Nurses Association) - they have different scholarships available based on need, merit, etc. I will be ...

11. Who is Excited About Human Cadaver Dissections?!?

    whealer replied to whealer's topic in Pre-Nursing

    @ HouTx Wow what a great opportunity! I wonder is the dissection and study of human cadavers available to those who obtain their NP? I didn't think so since I never saw it mentioned. I suppose it truly under special circumstances. I hope that this ty...

12. A&P 1

    whealer replied to CrystalWright's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I was little more relaxed with my studying; but what it comes down to is knowing two things: 1: What is your learning style? Do you find yourself understanding things better when it's visual or does the mental lightbulb go off when you hear your pro...

13. Who is Excited About Human Cadaver Dissections?!?

    whealer posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I think this has been the highlight of the semester for me... hahaha A couple of my classmates and I were finishing our second round of dissections, which - if you haven't realized by now - is my favorite part of A&P! We had moved on from sheep b...

14. Young Aspiring Nurse Entrepreneur - Would Love Some Advice!

    whealer replied to whealer's topic in Entrepreneurs

    Hi Harrid, Passionflower pretty much hit the nail on the head. Right now I'm taking pre-requisites. Next semester I have clinicals and at that point, I will begin to understand if I have what it takes to be a nurse. It may take me a while to know if...
