5. Cant retain informatin

   plaza replied to mmcgahen's topic in Student Assist

   I feel your pain! A&P was my toughest course (seconded only by pharmacology). What helped me, especially when memorizing pathways, kidney function, heart pumping action, etc., was to make diagrams. I used colors, I wrote on them, I made notes in...

6. All classroom, no lab???

   plaza replied to dee78's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   when choosing schools, I was surprised that a couple offered very little in the way of lab or hands-on clinical (LTC/rehab/acute hospitals) hours. I was even more surprised to find that one of the schools had OB/GYN and peds rotations in a rehab faci...

8. calculation question

   plaza posted a topic in Student Assist

   Am I over-looking the obvious here? Math is my strong suit, I get the calculations but this one has me stumped and I'm not sure why. I'm wondering if the prof has thrown this in to confuse us. She is known to do that...Is there a formula/equation for...

    plaza replied to wiggi22's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I had to take Term 2 over again, (not the reason why I hate that school) the clinical instructors are horrible, I’m sick of being disrespected and treated lower than dirt. what exactly is the problem? are you falling behind in your studies and not ma...

12. How to make A&P reading less boring

    plaza replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing

    "My (ANATOMY ONLY) instructor told us that we probably wouldn't have time to read the text" say what? I've never had a professor or instructor say that! as for the OP, A&P is tough and not the most spell binding of reading. as with other posters,...

13. Nurses who can't spell

    plaza replied to alex08's topic in General Students

    alex - it may not even be a matter of folks not being able to spell. instead, it may be a matter of the amount of time and care some posters put into their responses. in this era of instant communication, IM, text messaging, iphones, blackberries, e...

14. Going to appeal to get back in the LVN school

    plaza replied to Nurse Chef's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    sounds like you're going to have to prove that you are serious about continuing with NS. convincing a panel will be easier if you do what the PP said and take A&P by itself, get a stellar grade and then proceed with the appeal. is there a JC nea...
