  1. being pregnant and hair..........

    I think adding the word "may" into that sentence is better. Here, here and here are some interesting, but not conclusive, short articles on studies about hair dyes. The risk appears greater for those who'd been coloring pre-1980s, used dark colors...
  2. I'm hoping to transfer to CSULB in Fall 2005. I've heard the program is pretty great there. I will have to transfer pre-nursing with hopes of getting into the BSN program in Spring 2006. Fingers, toes, elbows and eyes crossed! :chuckle
  3. Pharm as weed out class? at HCC

    The program at my CC suggests pharm as a prereq, and taking it will give you more points (selection is based half on points in specific classes, half on your slot on the waiting list). The class is feared by most students and is a 100% pass or fail ...
  4. Student Nurse with Breast Cancer

    I am humbled by your determination and gratitude/attitude about continuing your studies. Your situation reminds us to keep things in perspective and to again realize that what we are trying to accomplish is worth all the effort and waiting and sacri...
  5. I've had to make some serious decisions this last week as I lost *both* my part-time jobs due to cutbacks. I live in a very expensive county in California and can't afford not working a decent paying job much longer. Our debt just sits there, as we c...
  6. I Hate Statistics!!!!

    I'm taking a six week Stat course (final is in 6 days) and I'm all over the place with it. I've been averaging a B, but have received 2 100%, 1 70%, etc. I guess that means I really just don't know what I'm doing? Most of the problem is the fast p...
  7. micro before anatomy/physio?

    My school suggests at least Intro to Bio and Chem for Healthcare Students prior to Micro. However, Chem is just recommended, not required. The pre-nursing order is this: Semester 1: Anatomy (4units), Chemistry (4units) Semester 2: Microbiology (5...
  8. Study techniques, tips and tricks

    All great suggestions, and great links too. I picked up a book at the college library for $1.00 that has lots of great suggestions for managing full-time studies, work and family, too. Although I've done well in college in the 60+ units I've taken ...
  9. Study techniques, tips and tricks

    Next semester I've got a big schedule with Anatomy, BioChem, Gerontology, History...so I've been trying to think of ways to become a better student, notetaker, etc. I'd love to hear about how others study, takes notes, organize and memorize informa...
  10. My CC doesn't require it either, however, after the first year you can work in the local hospitals as one. I do have CNA cert that I haven't really used for employment purposes (it pays too little to live on 'round here). I did care for my grandmot...
  11. What are you taking for summer session?

    May 24-June 11 Gerontology (1 Unit) May 24-July 16 Anatomy (4 Units) June 26-Aug 8 Statistics (3 Units) I think I can, I think I can.... :)
  12. Class of 2007 just starting pre-reqs?

    Hi everyone! I've been visiting the boards for a long time, but just recently started posting. I'm just about finished with my first two years of college (GE classes), but have yet to take the science prereqs for the nursing program. I'll be done ...
  13. Blackheads

    I also like using those pore strips that you paste on to your nose and then *gently* pull off after it has dried and has a complete death grip on your nose. It isn't entirely pleasant, but it is very satisfying to see all those icky things on the st...
  14. Cinnamon benefits type 2 diabetics, lowers bs and lipids

    Whodathunkit?! Thanks for the info!
  15. Can our medical histories be used against us?

    Interesting stuff. When I was young I applied at a LTC facility and was required to fill out a form similar to what you might fill out at a Drs office...current meds, previous surgeries, and any dxs. I didn't know any better and didn't think to que...
