    bookworm1 replied to LMRN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was able to purchase several of my books at Walmart.com. One book was $40 cheaper than the school bookstore. I also discovered that Target is selling some textbooks online. BTW, Borders bookstore...

  2. Getting Organized!!

    bookworm1 replied to shannonFNP's topic in General Students

    I also use 3-ring binders. My hubby found the neat ones that fold back flat. Once I started using those, I don't like the others! I also religiously used paperclips. I have XX-large ones (3 1/2") as...

    bookworm1 replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    I bought my first one to use in Patho and I listened to each lecture over again as I was re-writing my notes. I take notes in class and then re-write them to include more indepth things on the areas...

  4. What do you think this means?

    bookworm1 replied to Hoping4RNin2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    bookworm1 replied to Icare4u2's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I will be interested in reading the replies to this, also. I am deaf in one ear and it seriously impedes my ability to tell what direction sound is coming from. Hearing aids cannot help me at this...

  8. Help with a debate: What color is blood?

    bookworm1 replied to nursemommyof3's topic in General Students

    The idea that veinous blood is blue probably comes from the fact that we see blue lines from the veins, but our instructors also made it very clear that blood does not turn blue, there is always some...

  9. questions about NAS baby--feeding and meds

    bookworm1 replied to crazyaaa's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    "neonatal abstinence"...does this mean the baby was born addicted?? If that is the case, then this mom probably should not even consider breastfeeding. sorry, just a lowly student, so I am probably...

  10. Bottle-feeding really compromise Breastfeeding?

    bookworm1 replied to crazyaaa's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Most nipples on bottles force the infant's mouth to work differently than compared to when they are breast feeding. New babies can develop "nipple confusion", but I don't see how it can happen within...

    bookworm1 replied to MimismomRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. Plus size nursing students

    bookworm1 replied to nurse2btracy's topic in General Students

    That was also a big fear of mine (no pun intended). I start clinicals in the fall and just got the supply list. We have to order our uniforms from the school and they go all the way up to 5x. The next...

  19. Parents Abusing System-What would u do?

    bookworm1 replied to volsfan's topic in Home Health

    Unfortunately, I have seen this with kids already in the system (DCFS) as well as kids returned home to bio parents. This is abuse to the child, but to call in the abuse report, you would have to be...

  23. Too worried about grades?

    bookworm1 replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    YEP! That's me. I screwed up my GPA last fall semester with 3 B's and 1 A. I did have a good reason, though. My son was very ill and spent 1 week in PICU and one in a regular room due to new onset...

    bookworm1 replied to ric13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am assuming the vaccine is a killed virus? If so, #4 would be my choice as well. My Grandson got a mild case of the measles from his MMR which is a live virus. Pediatrician said it only happens less...
