  1. Letters of Recommendation

    At work, the way our yearly performance reports are done, you list multiple "bullet statements" highlighting the accomplishments over the year. Although I have heard of it happening to where the...
  2. Kind of a weird question...

    Here's my two cents... Being in the military and having gone through the entire MEPS process and revealing my medical history, etc., I don't see any need to lie. You do want to disclose your...
  3. Don't know which nursing school route to take!

    Every person's in different situations. I have a BA from back in 2000....I was looking at the ADN route but the local community college would have me start all over with the pre-reqs; their policy...
  4. What anatomy book are you using for Spring 2007?

  6. Really want to do NICU...

    Okay, I haven't even been accepted to school yet for my BSN (I can't start school for 2 more years due to my military commitment), but I'm trying to get all my "ducks in a row" to ensure I'm as...
  7. Really want to do NICU...

    BBG- Thanks for the advice, I'll take as much as I can get. Even though I know I've got a while to go (before I even apply), I'm hoping to ask some of the nurses about their orientation program. The...
  8. regrets

    There's no sense in regretting anything. Everything in your past got you to where you are today, and without your past, you may not have appreciated your life once you become a nurse. Everything...
  9. A&P 1 Fall '06 Club!

    smattles- Congrats! I got my A too... took him long enough to post the grades. Best of luck to you in nursing school! By the time I start, you'll be graduating!!!! :) BTW, I got Dr. S for...
  10. Why do you want to be a nurse?

    Here's my story: I'm active duty Air Force; hubby's a teacher. Our daughter was born May 9, 2005. A flight on Dec 3 (to meet her aunts and uncles for the first time) landed us in the NY Hospital of...
  11. Really want to do NICU...

    As a follow-up, I've been volunteering in the Special Care Nursery & NICU for 4 months now, and it's been the most rewarding experience. I mainly cuddle, feed, change diapers, etc.; they don't...
  12. A&P 1 Fall '06 Club!

    I got an 85 on the practical so a 90 with the curve. The arm and leg muscles screwed me up, I got a bunch of the terms mixed up. I got everything else right. Yeah, there were a few questions on the...
  13. Dissecting a sheep's brain?

    We dissected the sheep brain, I thought it was fun. I wish we did more
  14. A&P 1 Fall '06 Club!

    Yay, A&P is done, my final was tonight. Whew... Grades will be posted on Friday but I'm pretty sure I've still got my A. Now a month off before A&P 2! Good luck to everyone
  15. A&P 1 Fall '06 Club!

    smattles- Nah, I'm holding off to do Micro til the summer, I'm just taking A&P 2 in the spring. My job's about to change and be even more time-consuming, and I don't want to commit to 2 classes...
  16. A&P 1 Fall '06 Club!

    smattles- Yay! I thought this test was the easiest of the semester... but I've still got the practical to go on Monday. I am definitely looking forward to the Christmas break before I start...
  17. This is just funny - I got the same comment after our 1st test this semester, I got a 100. (Yes, I'm only taking A&P 1 right now...and only have A&P2 and Micro to go before I can apply for...
  18. Any LPN's in Charleston..I'm looking to move

    Summerville and most of North Charleston are great places to live. (There are a few sketchy areas of N. Charleston.) See the thread about moving to Charleston near the top of this forum for more...

  20. ******pleeze Help!!******

    Sure... my husband only took it after 2 weeks of studying, it sure helped him. I had a couple of months to practice. I haven't seen the Kaplan's one so I don't know how detailed it got. But the...
  21. ******pleeze Help!!******

    If I recall, you have to wait 30 days to retake the GRE (their standards). If you have that much time, and have time to invest, I certainly would take it again. My husband and I both used a GRE...
  22. Wow! That was fast!! Got my acceptance letter already!!

    Athena - I have Mr. Jackson for A&P I with smattles1of2 in the evenings. And after her suggestion I'm going to try to go for Dr. S...
  23. Finding the right field.. H E L P!

    What about something like the ER? I'm pretty sure I already know where I want to work - the NICU - and I'm volunteering in the special care unit right now at MUSC. But I would think the ER might be...
  24. Wow! That was fast!! Got my acceptance letter already!!

    Athena - well good luck to you too! I'm taking A&P-I now at Trident; just need to take A&P-II and Micro so I can apply to the accelerated BSN program at MUSC too. Hope you get that letter...
  25. Wow! That was fast!! Got my acceptance letter already!!

    smattles- YAY!!!! Congratulations, so happy for you! Hopefully I'll get that same letter from MUSC in a year. You'll have to keep us posted on how MUSC is!!! I can't believe I haven't logged on...
