Hi, just wondering why people say Human Anatomy and Physiology is so hard. What about it makes it so difficult compared to biology or psychology? Just trying to prepare myself for when I take the course. Thanks! ? EDIT: also, if you have any advice a...

You sure do seem to get defensive at peoples' "snarky-ness" for someone who is preaching to ignore it.

I know this is probably going to come off as dramatic, and if that's the case, then I'll appreciate outside perceptions of the situation gratefully. I've worked for the same company since I was 16 years old. I worked for them for 4.5 years, and I eve...

Awhile back ago I asked if taking Chemistry and Biology at the same time was okay, and the general consensus was that it should be okay. I was going back through the school I'm interested in's page on requirements and it seems as though they changed ...

I think this topic has been mentioned a few times on here, and I think what most people were getting at was that if you get your MSN before working as an RN, employers will find you too overqualified to work as an RN, and they will also find you too ...

Thanks for everyone's comments; I really appreciate them. :) Right now I'm leaning more towards taking the classes at separate times. I need to try and make an 'A' in all of my classes, I believe... I can start taking courses for the second semester ...

I think trying to make As would be ideal since the nursing program is competitive. I'm not sure how competitive, and I can't seem to find any information on that when I search for it. There are only 6 pre-req classes (the school I'm at now has like 1...

It's Foundations of Organic and Biochemistry... I've also heard of people finding Organic Chemistry to be very difficult, as well. *sigh*

I have pretty much the same problem as you. I've never really done well in school. I simply couldn't pay attention. I ALWAYS did bad in class because I could never stop day-dreaming. It wasn't until I got into high school (and decided I wanted to cha...

Huh? You're a junior in nursing school? Then that means you must have a history of doing well in your classes if you were able to get into nursing school and make it up to this point, right? To suddenly drop your courses out of nowhere seems a little...

Out of curiosity, how does pineapple juice help with coughing?

I'm really sorry to hear that you're experiencing that. When I did my CNA clinicals, I sometimes was treated rudely (though most of the time, people were very kind). I had no choice but to ignore it- I was polite and had a good attitude, and if I nee...

Yessssss... I'm a very quiet person and I don't communicate in the same way other people do. I have very awkward social skills and I don't know how to make small talk. I generally overcompensate by smiling a lot, but I get called snobby or rude, even...

I don't know if that depends on the hospital? The hospital that my husband is a corpsman at has them wearing their blue digital uniforms. Even the doctors will sometimes wear their military uniforms. The hospital that he got laser eye surgery at had ...

My husband is in the Navy. This morning he had to go to work early for a meeting about how they are no longer allowed to carry their phones on them at work, so he has to keep his locked up in an office due to this event. EDIT: I should say the meetin...

Your thread title is "This is really mean, but I have to say it..." I'd say that people would be pretty interested in knowing what you were about to throw out. I don't understand what the purpose of your comment is?

There were people on here who were rude before she began throwing attacks back. I know nursing isn't sheltered, but I do feel like sometimes people's remarks or tones can be unnecessary. And I'm not just talking about this particular thread. I've see...

I totally see where people are coming from in feeling insulted by the "menial tasks" that OP complained about, I just also thought it would be taken with a "grain of salt" by responders. I guess that I also neglected the fact that this is a public fo...

I've noticed that a lot, as well. It's silly. But, on the other hand (and I'm just bringing this up because of the discussion that's been going on) I do see other users on here quick to tell people that they shouldn't be nurses over minor things, as...

We do, yes, but the point is is that people generally come to this website to seek advice or at least understanding, and I believe that's the why forum exists, yes? So mocking comments (to me, at least) seem irrelevant. I know I am probably taking t...

Yeah, that's true, but there are posts that are clearly meant to be spiteful or mocking, and at times, when the recipient hadn't come to argue but instead to discuss an issue or vent, like in this case. When is that appropriate? I also realize, that...

This quote is the one that stuck out to me: "To me, it just sounds like a bunch of petty, dramatic whining followed by fake 'outrage' at being misunderstood." I just think it was an over-the-top and offensive statement. I realize that it's whiney, bu...

I think your first comment was helpful, as well, but it was not your comment I was strictly referring to. OP instantly got attacked for venting. She's a student, for crying out loud. I've done things and have started jobs with higher expectations and...

D*mn. People on this forum are harsh. Who cares if it's whiney? It's okay to be whiney at times. She already acknowledged that it was just her first day, and she was just venting. Because everybody always has the perfect attitude towards a frustratin...

What about people who work full-time jobs that are necessary but are still making minimum wage, while also taking care of a family? All of the people that make a big-time company run, but still get paid pennies despite working full time and being gro...
