Yahoooooo!!!I got a B..... I couldnt be happier...This was a hard class but I had a teacher who gave lots of easy extra credit.Im so glad its over. Good luck to all those who are still in class..

Im taking Microbiology this summer from 05/22/06-07/07/06. Monday Wed. Thurs. Foundations in Microbiology 5th edition. Talaro. Im a little nervous. But I guess if I could make it through A&P1 last summer I should be ok with Micro. Thanks for the links! Amy

Wow. Ok, I feel useless again, lol. But I still feel better knowing CPR than not Knowing. Thank you all for your posts.

I Just finished a CPR class and was wondering how often you use CPr as nurses and if anyone has had to use it in an emergency situation outside of the job? CPR used to seem sort of like no big deal, before I took the class, now I feel like if I had to I could actually save someones life with it . PS .Im a nursing student that hasnt gotten to clinicals yet so this is my first exposure to any kind of technical training. I look forward to hearing of your experiences. Thanks All Amy

Hi Lawrela, I just applied to the slip program yesterday through JFK. I am also going to Muhlenberg. I have all the paper work. I just read it over last night and it seems like a good deal. They seem to be very weary of giving out info on this program and every one I have spoke to about it seems to be very discouraging. I was told because many people have defaulted on the program. anyway if you want You can private message me and I can give you all the specifics that I know. Who I talk to and stuff like that Hope to hear from you soon . Amy

I am going to Muhlenberg. I just finished Nursing 119 and 100. I dont really have anything to compare it to. Nur.119 was ok I was really scared in the begining of the semester because we were told that so many people had failed the semester before us. It turned out to be ok. They are very strict like Lawrela said but there is alot to learn. hope this helps.. About the tests, we were allowed to see which ones we got wrong but they did not go over the question to clarify an answer or why it was wrong. you kinda just had to figure it out with the help of other students. Amy

Thank you all soo much. Some days I feel very confident others I am very unsure of my self. It helps so much to have all of your reassurance. I forgot to mention that Im 33 years old and have two children. So I have to keep telling my self that Ive already seen and experience alot and to have a little confidence in my self. thanks again Amy

I am a nursing student and feel like nursing is something that I was born to do . But, I am concerned that when it comes to the hands on / unpleasant stuff Im afraid of what my reaction is going to be. I am not the squemish type and dont get grossed out easily.I havent started clinicals yet and my biggest fear is that Im going to throw up, pass out, or god forbid start laughing (which is what sometimes happens when I get nervous) . Has anyone had an experience like what I mentioned above, got over it and became a nurse. Thanks in advance for all you input!!

I had a splenectomy in 1999 ( the old fashion way)( ITP) I have a 8 inch scar across my abdomen. I was shocked when I saw it.
