2. Ethical Objections to Dissection

   texasmommy replied to texasmommy's topic in General Students

   I thought it was interesting that some schools even offer the lab sections of A&P online, using computer programs. It doesn't really seem fair to those of us who are actually dissecting (it's not my favorite part of the course, to say the least, ...

3. Ethical Objections to Dissection

   texasmommy posted a topic in General Students

   Another prenursing student I met on another nursing site says she was able to bypass the usual A&P dissections because of an "ethical objection" (that's how she put it) to dissections (animal and cadaver alike). She was able to complete the disse...

   I am thinking of applying to a local hospice center as a CNA. Could someone describe for me the typical work of a CNA in a hospice home? Or experiences they have had as a CNA there? Thanks!

6. is this a smart idea?

   texasmommy replied to texasmommy's topic in General Students

   Thanks for your replies, everyone! I guess I also feel like I need to be prepared (for everything class-wise, at least). I think I'll also browse the book just to familiarize myself with the material!

   I am taking nursing prereq's starting in March (I need the A&P's, microbiology, chemistry and psychology), but don't really have a lot going on schedule-wise until then. Would it be a smart move to learn (as much as possible, at least) the A&...

   :idea:Any suggestions for a moderately-math-challenged nursing prereq student? I am going to be taking chem soon and I'm very nervous about it... Are there any practice books etc that you have heard of or anything beneficial to someone taking the pre...

12. Shabbos/Religious Observances

    texasmommy replied to texasmommy's topic in General Nursing

    An Orthodox Jewish conversion requires immersion in a mikvah - a ritual bath. The mikvah itself can resemble a hot tub (at least that's what I think they look like!), the water is heated and chlorinated, and in many cases, mikvahs are very beautiful....

    The issue wasn't that they were Black people, of that I am sure. There are many, many Black Jews in America, Israel and around the world. I can't recall the details but there was another side to the story with the Ethiopians.
