  1. I am so glad to have found this forum!

  2. Ocean County Community College

    I am working toward getting into their program. So far, everyone has been a pleasure to deal with. However, while you are waiting to hear anything, there isn't a lot of info on what you should be...
  3. A&P I Spring 2007 Semster - Welcome!

    I just got my grade for the practical exam where we had to know all the bones and muscles, and I got an 88. I'll know next week what I got on the last two written exams. As it is, I think I would end...

  6. Any students out there dating veteran RNs?

    I think you have a great advantage over those of us who aren't dating a nurse! You have a great resource in your life. I know some nurses (two of my good friends are married to 12 yr veterans), but I...

  8. Give me some idea...

    Thanks for your well wishes and for your reply! However, I was wondering if you could expand on your answer a bit. In what way do you have to change your thought process? I have already earned a...
  9. Why don't they just call it what it is? Universal is just a nice way to say "socialist" healthcare. I didn't realize we were now living in Russia. If you want to see what a bad idea socialist...

  11. Disrespectful to instructor....

    I love that clip! They titled it "Angry Professor" but he didn't seem angry at all. He was very matter-of-fact, and I think he got his point across! It never ceases to amaze me - whether at a meeting...
  12. Chemistry 2006/ 2007 Club***

    First night of Chemistry tonight. The professor is cool and seems to want to make it pretty easy for us to do well. Plus, there was no lab tonight, so we got out

  17. I think I would like to learn more about being an OR nurse. The idea of seeing all sorts of operations and procedures fascinates me. I'm also very interested in working in a burn unit. I saw a program...
  18. Frustrated

    I don't know how the NET compares to the TEAS, but I bought the study guide for the TEAS, and scored very well on the self tests. I struggle with math, so I found a few online tutorials that gaveme a...

    My Chem class starts next week. I have lecture and lab on the same night, so I only go once a week. Plenty of leftover time to study. I have purchased the books already so I can read up on it before...
  21. Student Nurse asking RN's their opinion

    Not a nurse yet, but this seemed like a thread where I could learn a few things, and I do have one comment that some of the nurses might want to address. In my experience, people meet others in many...
  22. Meth is destroying communities

    TraumaRUs - sorry to hear about your situation. I can't imagine how difficult it must be for your family. As for the discussion about things like needle exchange programs - I'm torn over that issue....
  23. When one crosses a border into a country they do not have the legal right to be in... It would be a better world if everyone could be safe, healthy, and cared for. But there's enough legal residents...
  24. Are 12 hour shifts terribly long?

    Wow, 12 hr shifts sound great! I think I'll look for those when i get through school. In my current (non-healthcare) job, they tried a compressed workweek for a few years before doing away with it. We...
