We will be doing this next week or so and I am going to take advantage of your pictures for sure! Also, I'm going to make sure I spend a lot of time looking at the various slides in the lab and feel a little comfy with what I'm looking at. I love the idea of taking pictures in lab and drawing "what you see".Speaking of what you see, funny aside: I was eating a bowl of ice cream one day and clicked on some cat dissection pictures (or videos, can't remember) in a commercial site and immediately though, uh maybe I should exit because this might not be the best time after all LOL. My kids were also there and I didn't think springing that on them without warning would be too nice, especially since they are still getting over the death of our cat (ugh, me too!!).
I am definitely going to be in the lab with my camera, though!
Sorry to learn about your cat, I have three, and two dogs.
Thank you so much, FunToCare. I will make use of your website and take pics too.
Congrats Nursecadet, I knew you could do it!! :)Newonboard: I have one quiz on tissues at www.nursingjourney.com, and some tissue pics on the lab pics page. ...not sure if they will help or not, but you are welcome to use them. :)
Draw what you see in the microscope. Take pics through the microscope lens. Whatever....
Try to associate what you are seeing with something that will help you remember what it is.
For example, to me Hyaline Cartilage looked like little rosebuds.
Pic from a slide in my class:
By drawing in pencil, and not coloring, you can visualize the structure of the tissue as your instructor may show a purple stained slide in lab, but have a pink stained slide on the lab test. Viewing lots of different pics online will also help with this.
Good luck!!! :)
Thank you .. it was in March but, still .. it was very traumatic ... that doesn't even begin to describe it. So .. we DID have three but are down to two .. and one dog! Almost the same as you!! I am not in a hurry to get another cat right now, though .. the youngest is a little annoying for one thing! The kids want another one, of course!Sorry to learn about your cat, I have three, and two dogs.

We lost one of our cats a couple of years ago on Halloween ....I tried to revive her but it didn't help, I was in the back of the truck doing as much CPR as you can do on a cat....I guess the trip to the vet took too long.
Our youngest cat is just about a year and he is into everything, like a two year old child. The girls are about 4 years old and nice kitties, little ladies. The dogs are about 9 years old, and are like two old men......very set in their ways, especially the beagle. There is never a dull moment in our household
Fun2Care,how do u take a pic thru the microscope. I have a digital camera.
My camera has a small zoom-type scope (shutter???) that comes out when I open the camera up. I just try to center that on one ocular lens of the microscope, and use the viewfinder to adjust where my camera needs to be. (The camera touches the ocular lens tubing, or you may need to pull the camera away a little bit to get it right.)
As you can see from my pics, you can get really good pics of the tissues. (...and those are made really small for the site!)
It may take a couple of tries to get it right, but it's pretty easy. :)

Hmm lol sounds very familiar! Our cats are 8 and 2 and the 8 year old female detests the 2 year old male. He's one of those types that likes to run outside any chance he gets and acts a little too familiar with the female .. but generally it's ok. He chases her and she growls at him looong and loudly.We lost one of our cats a couple of years ago on Halloween ....I tried to revive her but it didn't help, I was in the back of the truck doing as much CPR as you can do on a cat....I guess the trip to the vet took too long.Our youngest cat is just about a year and he is into everything, like a two year old child.

We miss the patriarch of the cat family who was almost 15 when he died. He was pretty much the mediator (glue that held the cat family together, as it were lol) and they both loved him and got along with him. He had cancer (we think) and died after me and my oldest dd gave him medicine but not exactly so you'd notice (i.e., not right away). Dh headed out with dd to her play practice and our youngest dd was holding him and he died in her arms. Our 6yo ds thought he killed him by knocking him off the sofa. We tried to revive him for a while and it was absolutely awful. We phoned dh and he likely drove about 2X faster than the speed limit to get back home but .. ish .. he was gone. I left him in his bed and had to go out to our dd's dress rehearsal ... and had to tell her ... and deal with his body when we got home.
It was so awful and facing the inevitable, albeit unsubstantiated, guilt and deep sorrow was more than I could have imagined. I had never lost a pet before. Dd and I sat up after dress rehearsal and cried ourselves to sleep.
Anyhoooooooooooooooo more than you wanted to know! LOL
Hey, Fun2Care, do you have the labels for those slides anywhere? I might be missing it. Anyway, they are helpful to look at in any case. Thanks!Newonboard: I have one quiz on tissues at www.nursingjourney.com, and some tissue pics on the lab pics page. ...not sure if they will help or not, but you are welcome to use them.
