Marie, I went through this countless times in nursing school as well, and it fried my butt no end. The last group project we were assigned was different though -- the instructor included a form to be turned in by every member of the group, rating the...

Hi, Grace. I'll be starting an OR internship in the middle of July, it will be a 9-month program. I'm totally looking forward to it! :)

I took the NCLEX on Wednesday, May 25th. Didn't even bother with Pearson, because the MN BON had posted that I passed when I happened to blip by their website at 7:30 am THE VERY NEXT DAY. I just endorsed my license to TX for a job that starts next ...

I'm sure it may vary from state to state, but I FedEx'd my paperwork to TX last Wednesday, they received it Thursday, and on Friday they had assigned my temporary TX RN license (which I checked out on their website this morning). I'm slated to move d...

I'm not a male, so sorry if this response is inappropriate on this forum, but I love finding information on the other perspective and really appreciate your posts and insights, Thunderwolf. Just as reason and critical thinking are not solely male tr...

Oy vey, BadBird, you KNOW I'm headed for the water when I'm done with school! At least that's what my brain tells me. Coastal Florida is looking better and better, even with the summer humidity (which I know can be killer). Still I'd miss the fall c...

As if I haven't said enough already... I would highly recommend that you pick up a copy of Cliff's Notes for Anatomy and Biology -- it's clear, concise, and followed my textbook and classes perfectly. It summarizes a lot of the main information you'...

Justjenn, try to relax my friend! :) Your A&P instructor, like any other, will give you a detailed syllabus (class outline) on your first day of class. In it, you'll have spelled out what chapters and pages of information will be covered in which...

I've found that Cherokee scrub pants are a bit roomier in the hips, while the Landau are a bit narrower. Not having hips myself, I prefer the Landau. :) ats

I second the sleep vote! You won't absorb anything if you're dragged-out tired! I've always found that I retain more if I do a quick review (NOT a cram session) right before bedtime. I believe studies have proven this to be true as well. That's also ...

People who work full time and go to school CAN and DO give it their all. :) Some of us have no choice as to working, we are the sole means of support for ourselves (and very often for families). I know someone in my class who is married, works full t...

You can help it live, depending on just how young it really is. Dropper feeding frequently is good, but call your vet and ask about it -- we had to use a special mix once for the same situation. Other than that, I think warmth and quiet, and protecti...

suzannasue, I'm very sorry you've been hurt so much in your life. I have been myself so many times, from early childhood...makes up the majority of my memories. So many times I've wished I could just sit down and give up, I get so tired...but somethi...

I'm pretty dead-on at spotting the character of other people in most situations, especially when my friends are the object of someone's attention. (I'm pretty protective of people I care about.) Guess I'm intuitive, just good at picking up on vibes.....

Well, I had my first day of class in my evening/weekend ASN program today (with another 8 hours to follow tomorrow). I've got to say how impressed I am with the two instructors who will be teaching us -- smart, funny, and just plain nice to be around...

Hi, dianacs! Man, I thought my weekend classes were long....12 HOURS BOTH DAYS???? *shudder* I would say that the vast majority of people in my 43-person evening/weekend class would fit into the "non-traditional" category: some in their 20's, most in...

Thanks for the welcome, Marie! :) Yes, my program is Monday and Wednesday from 6-9 pm, and every other Saturday AND Sunday from 8 am - 5 pm. Weeknights are reserved for lecture and/or seminar topics; weekends are for our skills lab, testing, and/or c...

Hey, all! Yet another non-traditional student chiming in here! I have a BS from a while back in business, have spent a lot of time as a personal trainer/medical exercise specialist and as a massage therapist. I loved those two jobs, mainly because I ...
