    Guest1142305 replied to Guest1142305's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Began reading for A&P 1 & 2 (Seeley’s) and Microbio (Prescott’s). Slow going. Hard to get more than 100-200 pages a day depending on the content. Have two 1000 page textbooks to read, and...

    Guest1142305 replied to guest1074618's topic in General Nursing

    So many suggestions, with no one pointing out the obvious problem. The patients are just people. Your problem is internal. Perception is everything. Work through your issue with a qualified therapist...

  7. Prerequisites and Writing Program

    Guest1142305 replied to Lonnie48's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The value of good outlining is also hard to ignore. A paper writes itself when it is split into logical bits in an outline and you begin and end each paragraph connecting the thoughts to a cohesive...

  8. Words of Encouragement?

    Guest1142305 replied to standingintheoutfield's topic in General Students

    Learning is a skill. Your learning doesn’t stop when you walk out the door from school. You will be responsible for continuing to learn after you get your license. You’ve got this. It’s all in...

  9. Prerequisites and Writing Program

    Guest1142305 replied to Lonnie48's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The best way to improve your writing IMO is to read really well written papers in a subject you love or that is similar to what you are going to write. Reading the same paper 5-6 times will open your...

    You wouldn’t give up on driving if you failed your first drivers test. Just retake the class. It will be so much easier the second time. Smoke

  12. If the US started a system like the NHS in the UK should nurses expect a cut in pay

    Guest1142305 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Military members are paid the same, but receive a locality based housing allowance and a family size based food allowance in order to average things out. Federal employees such as VA get a locality...

    Guest1142305 replied to CYNTO Y's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Guest1142305 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Guest1142305 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Early on in the pandemic Chinese researchers released data showing a whole plethora of symptoms that their patients were experiencing; more than the guidelines referenced above. I have no idea why it...
