    Med Terminology

    Pixiesmom replied to IaCountryGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Gotcha, I was thinking of the Cyclopedic med. dictionary, but it isn't really a small book. Unless you compare it to an Anatomy book then it is. The Division chair of Allied Health (She is an RN)...

    Pixiesmom replied to Moondance's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Exactly! I know some of the reviews on my Chemistry Professor were just terrible, but she was one of the best teacher's I've ever had. I now recommend her to anyone wanting to learn Chemistry. Not...

    Ratemyprofessors.com?

    Pixiesmom replied to Moondance's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ratemyprofessors.com was front page news here two months ago. The article even stated that my college had taken action and complained that site's regulatory tools aren't up to par. I've checked it...

    Frustration with "the plan"

    Pixiesmom replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's too bad that they aren't just looking at your pre-req gpa. I don't really have any advice for you other than to get that application out in time, when the times comes, and to hang in there....

    Going back to school and I feel DUMB!

    Pixiesmom replied to *Bethany*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh Bethany don't feel dumb. I graduated at the top of my class many, many moons ago and I didn't ace my placement test in math. I was told that I could either re-take the math placement test or sign...

    Name that part. Words patients use for their own anatomy.

    Pixiesmom replied to JEHORAPHA's topic in General Nursing

    For some reason that reminds me of an old SNL

    Name that part. Words patients use for their own anatomy.

    Pixiesmom replied to JEHORAPHA's topic in General Nursing

    That's a new one. My friend and I started referring to them as aromatic hydrocarbons. This developed after the lady was caught lighting matches on an airplane to cover up her sparkles or gaseous...

    Pixiesmom replied to JEHORAPHA's topic in General Nursing

    My Mother has always referred to lady parts's as poonies and a member as a tallywagger. :uhoh21: My Aunt refers to flatulence as sparkles. Bubbles maybe, but sparkles? They grew up in a household...

    Internet Classes

    Pixiesmom replied to starzzmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have taken Anthropology, Ethics, Medical Terminology, and Humanities through the Arts online. The Humanities class was a killer because I had no interest in it whatsoever, but that's another story....

    What's the best way to become a CNA?

    Pixiesmom replied to CA_Student_Nurse's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The adult education center in my town offers a free CNA class. You do have to pay for your background check and your testing though. I would recommend checking around in your area and checking with...

    Which pre-req's have you enjoyed?

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

    Yikes! Yes stress can play a big part in how people act, but it's still no excuse. (I don't mean that to read as rude) I just think that we are all under stress at one point or another and how we...

    I'm sorry stpauligirl. I do agree that they are indeed a unique monster, but I am so extremely curious of the student's obnoxious stress management that you

    What are you sacrificing to go nursing school?

    Pixiesmom replied to BSNtobe2009's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Darn it someone already said that they're sacrificing their sanity. :chuckle I have no problem sacrificing everything, but I do feel guilty for asking my family to sacrifice. Granted my daughters...

    Which pre-req's have you enjoyed?

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

    Student/College Loan Information Needed

    Pixiesmom replied to Seven, RN2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Even if you don't expect to get financial aid I would definitely go ahead and apply with fafsa. At my school you must have applied for fafsa to be considered for a student loan, granted they are...

    What should I take first? Bio or Anatomy??

    Pixiesmom replied to NewCareer78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would recommend taking Biology first. It is a fun class, or at least it was at my school, and it will provide you with the ground floor knowledge on

    How's my class schedule plan????

    Pixiesmom replied to treeguy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It looks like your taking an extremely heavy load during the summer semester. How many hours would that total out to? I would also be hesitant about taking A&P II, Chemistry, and Micro all during...

    Why do you want to be a nurse?

    Pixiesmom replied to JoeyDog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that I just watched too many episodes of M*A*S*H and China Beach over the years. Seriously though I've always been interested in nursing and medicine in general. I just feel like kicking...

    Pixiesmom replied to DesertRain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is this a BAD idea?

    Pixiesmom replied to EthnicBeauty's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well this fall I was signed up for Medical Terminology, Math for Meds, Ethics, Chemistry, and A & P I. I didn't listen to the advice of others and found myself dropping A & P I. I wasn't...
