1. Anatomy! in 8 weeks!!!

   422jdb replied to 422jdb's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Well, for better or worse, I have been using the notecards. But, I've been typing them in MS word; key words on the left, tab to the right for the definition; print, cut, tape to cards. Believe it or not, it doesn't take very long at all. But in m...

2. Anatomy! in 8 weeks!!!

   422jdb replied to 422jdb's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I've been doing the flashcards and I have found them somewhat helpful. What I don't get is this: how do you know if you are learning the material at the level you need to be? I think probably the most frustrating thing is, for example, knowing what...

3. Anatomy! in 8 weeks!!!

   422jdb posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   So here's my dilemma and I'm wondering if anybody else has had the same issue...I am taking a 4 hour anatomy course this summer. Our first exam is in 3 days. I feel like I am nowhere near prepared. I am commuting to take it so study groups are out...

4. do not rehire?

   422jdb replied to sistasoul's topic in General Nursing

   On second thought, I always thought it was funny that they asked if you were eligible for rehire. To me, that's only part of it. Isn't the other half if you, the employee, would consider going back?

5. do not rehire?

   422jdb replied to sistasoul's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with all the other replies but if you still felt like you had to know, you can always pay a reference checking service to call your old position. Many times they cannot provide much information but a standard question to be asked is if you a...

6. January entry for accelerated programs

   422jdb replied to 422jdb's topic in General Nursing

   Oh that's great, thanks for the info. They don't have to be in the middle of the country as they do in an area where the cost of living is inexpensive. I can't imagine trying to live in parts of CA or NY and trying to do this program while attempti...

10. Interesting PhD fine print

    422jdb replied to 422jdb's topic in Men

    Fair enough, but keep in mind my example was only referring to nursing faculties. I would hope that when I apply for a faculty position that I am considered on my merits only.

11. Interesting PhD fine print

    422jdb replied to 422jdb's topic in Men

    I agree with you. I'm not necessarily worried about being discriminated against, especially since in terms of gender, I would be considered a minority applicant. But that is also why I said that I don't like it even though it would benefit me in ma...

12. Interesting PhD fine print

    422jdb replied to 422jdb's topic in Men

    Thanks. I should add too with the changing demographics of this country that what I am complaining about is something that could someday benefit me or my kids. So anyways, my two cents.

13. Interesting PhD fine print

    422jdb posted a topic in Men

    First of all, I am a male. And, I am not trying to start WW3 with this comment because I am not sexist or racist. I am considering getting my PhD so I can teach. I have been surprised at a few faculty job listings I have read which say "Women and ...
