    I had my assessment finals both demo and lecture done almost 2 wks ago. Final grade B (I was so close to an A!) Perspectives in nursing final was wednesday. Final grade A (I adored this class and got...
  3. Hey whats those logos?

    I did it... I pressed all the buttons. Some of this stuff is pretty cool, some allow you to basically bookmark specific pages in a web based "favorites" type of thing so you can access your pages and...
  4. Injections: to pinch or not to pinch

    I wish the nurse who gave me a shot today had done that. She hit my bone and I am soooooo sore, I have pain going halfway down my
  5. stuck on goals for unresponsive pt

    In my school we are being taught to qualify our diagnosis using secondary to (medical diagnosis) routinely. We can only use the medical diagnosis as a secondary to, but are expected to do so whenever...
  6. Per my class schedule, clinical starts at 7:30 AM. We are required to be there by 7:25 AM to get assignment of client and go over the days routine. If we are not there at 7:25 we recieve a VNS...
  7. Nursing school schools with short waiting lists

    I don't know about the main campus, but I didn't find Purdue University North Central hard to get into. I think they went largely on grades, there was no entrance exam (well so far anyway), and the...
  8. I had my first clinical today at the nursing home. I was excited and nervous. Most of it was orientation, then we did an assessment... I assumed I would feel fine about that. I was terrified when we...

    Thank you all so very much for your kind words, advice, and encouragement. It is good to know others have felt like I did and got through it. Thank you Jov for explaining the no talking about things...
  10. Getting ORganized?

    I decided to stay with the system I know from prereq's since it familiar... with some variations. I got a binder for each class. I like the clear views so I can put schedules inside. I have one folder...
  11. ~~~A&P 1 (winter/spring) Club~~~

    LOL ours were similar "oh oh oh, to touch and feel valley girl's lady parts, Ah Heaven!" And "Some say marry money but my brother says big boobs matter
  12. Babbling/Worried/Advice seeking....

    One of the best things you can do with any testing is study and then learn to relax. Think about it.. what is your worst enemy when you get in that desk with a #2? Nerves! If you work yourself up,...
  13. Disrespecting the cadavers

    That would have pissed me off also. There is humor in our A&P labs, but noone ever jokes about our people ( and dead or not, they are sure as heck people). We get angry when others are too...
  14. Hey one can dream! We had a chem professor that lasted 3 semesters because people didn't like her and didn't want to study. I can say for her that she was aproachable and she did cover everything on...
  15. I may or may not wait to see how people did on the exams, but I think the head of the department really needs to get a look at one of her exams along with a copy of notes from lecture (maybe even a...
  16. *** A&P II Winter 2006 Club ***

    Our A&P class got 1 shot at extra credit last semester. 5-15 points for dressing up for halloween LOL! I wore a tight black outfit covered with sticky foam cutouts of humerus bones and I taped...

    Congrats!
  19. Every instructor has their own peculiar form of torture when it comes to the unkown I think, however what you said is the general way of things. Grab your unknown, innoculate slants and plates and...
  20. I Am Innnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    :smiley_aa Big CONGRATS to you! Now for the spending spree!
  21. Can I REALLY be a nurse?

    I don't know too many people personally that didn't start out with some fear about how they would handle the "ick" factor. Before I started A&P I was very concerned that I would spend every day...
  22. Micro peeps!

    The studying sometimes goes into my brain and sticks... sometimes not. I have 2 quizzes in Micro monday (one lab quiz, one lecture quiz), and then our exam is on thursday. I also have an A&P exam...
  23. I believe we have a flavobacterium (I am really lucky we don't need to know the species, just the genus and a few tests we could perform to find the species). The tables in bergey's manual are making...
  24. Just goes to show how different professors (and students I suppose) can change the dynamics of a class. To me chem was a 3, A&P (both my semesters are mostly combined) I would say a 7 or 8, and...
