  1. A&P Books SOOOOOOOEXPENSIVE!!!

    JeanettePNP replied to 9livesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I bought an older edition for less than half the price. In fact even before I took the class I had bought a really old edition of a different textbook for $10. Turns out that a lot of the information...

  2. Spring '08 Grades!!!! Be Proud!!

    JeanettePNP replied to modelmama07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    WooHoo! I got an A in A&P II!!! My average was in the high 80s, low 90s going in to the final, and then I had to wait nearly 2 weeks for my grade, so I was on tenterhooks. I just checked the...

  3. A&P II Summer, WHERE DO I START?

    JeanettePNP replied to narussian's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just took the final last week and I still don't know my grade. My average is somewhere either in the high 80s or low 90s so if I did really well on the final I can still end up with an A. Anyway,...

  4. Statistics

    JeanettePNP replied to daisyfleur70's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took online stats so that was probably easier. We worked a lot with Excel, making charts and tables. Most of the formulas could be done by the computer so I didn't do that much calculating. It was...

  5. PreReqs: How long has it taken

    JeanettePNP replied to ladybug725's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started in Fall of 2006. I finished: English 1 Cell Bio A&P I A&P II Chemistry Sociology Anthropology Psychology Nutrition Statistics The only class I have left is Microbiology. I took most...

  6. The end of spring semester. How did everyone do?

    JeanettePNP replied to iwillbanurse08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took my final exam in A&P II yesterday, and I'll have to wait at least a week for my

  7. GPA high enough?

    JeanettePNP replied to ~Belle~'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Really it depends on the school you're applying to. They will weigh all aspects of your application, not only your grades. As others have pointed out, 3.4 is a respectable GPA. Do you have good...

  8. Help! Chemistry Assistance!

    JeanettePNP replied to twinjeep97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had the same thing when I took Chem, and I was in my third trimester of pregnancy at the time! I'm not sure why the rule applies only to chem lab since in A&P lab we could sit. Anyway, people...

  9. How do you deal with Non-Urgent Patients

    JeanettePNP replied to mom2michael's topic in Emergency

    I remember someone posted their system that seems to work very well: They have a doctor do triage and the doc decides if you're emergent or not. If not, bye bye. If anyone complains, "Well, you've...

  10. How to get volunteer experience?

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have just about finished all my pre-reqs except for Micro, and I'm ready to apply for nursing school. The only thing I'm missing is medical/volunteer experience. The problem is that I'm so busy I...

  11. Do they really look down on you...

    JeanettePNP replied to Hey There Elizah's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't worry too much about other people looking down on you or not. Just do what you gotta do and if you're happy with your choices and decisions who cares about their

  12. How do you deal with Non-Urgent Patients

    JeanettePNP replied to mom2michael's topic in Emergency

    Honestly I would never want to sit in an ER if it wasn't an absolute necessity. Whenever I've had to take one of my kids for stitches or X-rays (not often fortunately) I always tried first at a clinic...

  13. How to get volunteer experience?

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

    I'm more than willing to try that! I just want to be able to do it on my time and on my own schedule... Like if I want to come in three mornings one week and none the next, I can do that without...

  14. Rant! Unclear diagrams on exams

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is a rant about unclear diagrams on exams. What are they thinking when they give a test with a diagram with 20 different structures to identify, and the copy is so unclear you can't even tell...

  15. Rant! Unclear diagrams on exams

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

    Thumbs up for your prof! I went up to the prof and asked him if I could look at the original and his answer was, sorry, I'm not allowed to give you any assistance.Hellllooooo, I'm not asking you to...

  16. How to get volunteer experience?

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

    Yes, thank you for the suggestion, but the nursing program stipulated health care/patient care experience. I don't think stuffing envelopes qualifies for this, alas! I did call an organization that...

  17. How to get volunteer experience?

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

    Two hours at a time twice a week would work for me too. I just saw the 100-hour requirement on the application and didn't bother following up with the rest, not to mention that I had to get two...

  18. "Didn't you learn how to deliver a baby in NS?", HUH???

    JeanettePNP replied to OURN83's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think it makes sense for nurses to have that knowledge. Delivering a baby is not that complicated in most cases and babies can come anytime, anywhere when they decide they're ready. I think it's a...

    It's not like he's sinking money into your spa treatments or some other frivolous thing. Your education will pay off when you graduate and get a decent job with great

  21. Please help! Correct term for quiet breathing

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What is the correct term for quiet breathing? Is it respiration? The textbook doesn't say any specific term for quiet breathing so I just guessed. (This was a fill-in-the-blank

  22. Please help! Correct term for quiet breathing

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

    Thanks, that does seem to be the correct term. I checked the our textbook and it wasn't in there (not that that's ever stopped them before!) So I guess I got this one

  23. Please help! Correct term for quiet breathing

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

    Okay I googled "medical term quiet breathing" and found eup-ne-a (yp-n)n. Easy, free respiration, as is observed normally under resting conditions. I have never heard this word before and it is not...

  24. What should i do to prepare for my first classes?

    JeanettePNP replied to misty08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Which courses are you taking? I would recommend getting your textbooks as soon as you can and just starting to look over them. Read the first couple of chapters, read the table of contents, or look...

  25. Please help! Correct term for quiet breathing

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

    Thanks. "Absent respiration" doesn't ring a bell at all, but hopefully I got at least one word right... Although it could be ventilation was the word they were looking
