Good luck to everyone!

Well, I'm not nearly as studious as you Fun, but I have reviewed over fluid and lytes for the first test, and started on women's repro health. I've been reading and taking notes, and watching the videos of the pedi seminar and the OB videos. Hopefully it will be enough of a jump start to keep my head above water. We don't show any study guides though for 2nd semester that you can fill out like we had for 1st semester. If anyone has anything like that for 2nd semester, I'd sure appreciate it!

I only used the Potter & Perry Study Guide 1st semester, and the appropriate study guides that went with the books for 2nd semester.

The lecture guides I have for 3rd semester are the same as the actual lecture notes you can print, but with blank spaces at various places throughout the notes.

Why is it that I already feel behind and classes have not even started yet? I have read about half the chapters for unit 1 and watched the videos. My concern is that the previous sections were referred back to quite a bit. Bone formation, for example, we barely touched on it but we should be prepared to be knowledgeable in this area. Kinda stresses me out when what is thought to be taught in others classes is in fact be skipped across. Aren't we here to learn, if our program was an online/self taught program I would not be so pissed here.

Yeah, but I think basics on that. ...Break, inflammation, callus, bone formation.

I know I have to review the traction notes from last semester, and acid-base stuff for the respiratory chapters, if not more.

I wish it was a self-taught program. We'd save on gas money. :chuckle

I just posted a new quote on my signature line (the bottom one)...seems fitting for the situation at hand.

There are so many changes at ECC/NLC going on right now that change should be listed with the choice '4 letter words'.

Change is inevitable, right? We can manage!!!!

[JaxiaKiley]

That's a good quote, Fun!

I have hospital orientation tomorrow (9/4), and it's also Kaylee's 10th birthday! Wow, time flies!!!

Hope everyone's 1st week was good. It seems like it's been more than a week already though...oh well, maybe the semester will actually pick up speed once clinical starts, etc.

Only 15 weeks to go!?!?!?!?!?

Does anyone remember the price for the uniform shirt #8232, the Snap Front with 4 pockets?

[spoiled_lil_sister]

8232 - Snap front V-neck tunic $16.25

[Fun2, BSN, RN]

Thanks a bunch! Hope your first couple weeks have been good! :)

[Fun2, BSN, RN]

I thought the respiratory test was easier than I planned it to be....although my grade doesn't show that! :angryfire

Most of the students came out saying the same thing. I sure hope there's a glitch in the scores that popped up!

[mysterious_one, ASN, RN]

I am sorry to hear that, our test is tomorrow. I have heard that resp. is not that easy, don't know:uhoh21:, though. As always , I will be glad when it's behind me.
