1. Kind of Bummed

   ptbunny333 replied to kingdave's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm in A&P II now, and I know how you feel. It can get overwhelming and disheartening at times. The things that I find help me: Read ahead and take notes ahead on the chapter you will be going over in class Use online resources (a good one is u...

2. MA to RN is it possible?

   ptbunny333 replied to MWells-Blount's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm a CMA working on my RN right now (almost done with pre-nursing). The classes we had to take (terminology, coding, that sort of thing) are not anywhere near as in depth compared to the classes you have to take for pre-nursing on your way to an RN...

3. How's everyone's fall semester going?

   ptbunny333 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Soooo, now that we are knee-deep in fall 2011, how's everyone feeling? I'm taking A&P II, Nutrition, Spanish I and College Algebra (). I think except for the math, I'm kicking buttinski. Anyone else?

4. How did everyone do in your Spring classes?

   ptbunny333 replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Pre-Nursing

   A in English 112 (so happy to see that class go, btw) and a B in A&P I. I'm not terribly pleased by the B, but I'll take what I can get after a hellacious semester. I'm actually quite excited, I get to go full time in the fall instead of taking...

5. How did everyone do in your Spring classes?

   ptbunny333 replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took my Eng 112 final, no grade yet. I don't take my A&P 1 final until Saturday-I'm currently stresses THE FRICK OUT.

6. Microbiology help?

   ptbunny333 replied to RHIA, RN's topic in General Students

   I agree, go to every class. Read the chapter beforehand. Ask questions. Also, Micro was fun because of the hands on lab. And the "Unknown" portion? SUPER EXCITING! I also got the microbiology coloring book and it was helpful. I do best when I l...

7. Semester is than half over- How is everyone doing?

   ptbunny333 replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Ugg I have hit that point where the semester is almost over (only a month to go!) and I'm just.....done. Maybe I'll take a day off of work and just relax. Which means I'll feel guilty about not doing anything and I'll study instead.

8. Semester is than half over- How is everyone doing?

   ptbunny333 replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Sooooo, anyone signed up for summer classes yet? I'm going to take some silly online things (communication and computer information) so at least keep things going. It'll be a nice break (I hope anyways!).

9. Semester is than half over- How is everyone doing?

   ptbunny333 replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm rocking English 112 (Mmmm, Othello), and A&P I is trying very hard to kick my butt, but I'm fighting back. BIG BIG BIG test on the musculoskeletal system tomorrow. Blech.

10. Tired of Pre-Reqs

    ptbunny333 replied to DarkBluePhoenix's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am working on A&P I and stupid English 112. I am currently only taking 2 classes at a time due to work and kid restraints. It seems like forever until I will be finished. It's terribly frustrating sometimes. A&P is much harder than Micr...

11. Why Even go for your MA? Don't Understand...

    ptbunny333 replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    Fair enough, I'll go with that. I think my point was that just because the person is an MA doesn't mean they don't know enough to relay a correct order if needed (I've done it before in a pinch) or phone in a script (we do it all the time). However,...

12. Why Even go for your MA? Don't Understand...

    ptbunny333 replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    I think the problem you are describing is not an MA one-its one of not being professional. Every MA should know the importance of meds, whether it is coumadin, HTN meds, insulin--heck, any med really. We were taught in school to check and recheck a...

13. Vitamin D deficiency

    ptbunny333 replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    I was having joint and large muscle pain to the point where I went to endo to explore the possibility of Fibromyalgia. My D level was down to 12 ( I think our cutoff for the low range is 30 in my office). I took 50,000 Unit dose twice weekly for 8 ...

14. Where to buy scrubs?

    ptbunny333 replied to thenameismac's topic in Maryland

    Gallo is a good place, I know of a store in the Glen Burnie area if you are around there.

15. Why Even go for your MA? Don't Understand...

    ptbunny333 replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    I, for one, got my MA because I am a single mom, it was the only part time program in my area that I could finsish in a reasonable amount of time that is both in healthcare and earns more than minimum wage. Though I am not getting the type of experi...
