It is your skills pack, but only specific items from it (listed in the packet they give you on day 1) each day. That way you don't have to haul the whole thing around with you. I'm wiped out today....
Petra - You'll be there tomorrow? Maybe we can meet up and do the syllabus exchange...Our lab starts at 8 am. Let me know and I'll make sure & bring $$$! Thanks,
Well well....Jaxia and I have one person in our group that we're certain can't last....philosophically speaking...lol. But, we did luck out in the clinical instructor department. We also have one...
I understand where you're coming from, but I believe the previous poster is correct. Do you only want to do natural births and would therefore not allow a woman to have the birth experience she...
I have my old veterinary tacklebox that I kept my "personal crisis/crash kit" in at home, but it's too big to cart around on the light rail. Maybe I can find just a small plastic container that will...
Truly...I called the police last week when I was riding the train coming back from ECC. Some crazy lady screaming on the phone and cussing...of course people were staring at her! She chose to yell...
I'm spending today packing my backpack and getting everything together. Do we need to bring anything special to the first day of skills lab? I saw the post of what Northlake students need to bring,...

I don't think they are open on Saturday, and I'm sure she has tons of stuff to do before the semester starts, but El Centro staff in general doesn't treat students worth a crap. There is no reason...

Well, good news! Kanora called me today and amazingly, she was going through her desk and found my signed waiver! Imagine that! Especially since she told me she hadn't had a chance to give it to...
Welcome to over here Amy! lol. We all lurk in all the El Centro forums anyways, but you didn't know what you were missing! lol. I know what you mean about it not quite sinking in yet. It has...
Anatomy is alot of memorization, physiology is alot of application. If you learn the anatomy well, it makes the physiology that much easier to apply. The best way I've found to learn it is to read a...
Usually A & P I covers cellular level, integument, skeletal, muscular, and nervous system. A & P II covers all other body systems. Some schools might divide it up differently, but it is all...

The entrance Hesi is not that detailed. The questions in the study guide are a great example of the questions you need to know. Buy A & P for dummies (or something like that - it's a quick study...
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I work with the local blood bank on a volunteer basis and one of the directors was diagnosed with a brain stem glioma this last year. She has been through...

Hey Katie, I started teaching it last semester, just for some extra money. I've really enjoyed it and would love to continue teaching, even after getting my RN. It also keeps me really fresh. Last...
You don't think it would be rocking the boat to e-mail the dean? I just need to know if I need to take it or not. I don't care if I do, other than the goofiness of it and the $$$. I just don't want...

Thanks so much Mysterious One! I was up there today, but only copied down the first 3 days...I was upset and just wanted to get home. I appreciate your scanning it and posting it! Thanks,
***Also posted in Fall 06 thread*** Ok ladies, I need some advice. Has anyone out there had to deal with Kanora much up at ECC? I'm having a very frustrating issue with her, and I don't even start...
