We are considering changing how we are doing the schedule on our Med/Surg unit, I was just wondering how other units do their scheduling. Do you rotate weekends? right now we are fixed schedules, but the weekends are always a problem to fill! Any ...

Thanks so much everyone for your input, this is super helpful!

Ok, I took Chem 100 (Basic Chem) last semester. This semester I am taking A&P. The pre-req for A&P is Chem 101 (General Chem.) I spoke to the instructor and she said I "should" be Ok with Chem 100. I have been reading my A&P book and ...

Last semester I took A&P I and the regular instructor was on sebatical so a different science instructor taught the class. We had to buy $300- worth of books, but that was ok because our instructor told us that the returning instructor agreed to...

Hey there! I have been lurking on this board for months while studying for this evil-evil test. I took the NCLEX last Friday and found out on Tuesday that I passed with 104 questions! I was (and am still!) in such shock that I am still checking th...

I totally agree. There is never a good time. There will always be something. I smoked for 15 years and quit cold turkey when I got pregnant with my son. It wasn't easy, but it was rewarding. You will feel soooo much better- more energy, food wi...

I've been having PB&J, but I think that all the sugar is giving me headaches. It seems like everything that is quick and easy is FULL of sugar!! I went to the store and bought some wheat crackers, cheese sticks, cottage cheese single packs, a...

I bought one from Amazon over a year ago, I think it cost about $20+. I sat by some other girls who were also recording, but their tapes were fuzzy and hard to hear. Mine were crystal clear, they (all 2 of them) bought the same one I had! Anyway, I...

I'm not sure why they would be whining, from my experience with online classes they seem to be more work! It just depends on the individual's learning style. I've done ok with my online classes, but I found there is more busy-work than lecture clas...

I've done that too with jeans! With the Downy/fabric softener, I mix it with a little cup of water before I add it to the wash. I find that works best.

I had orientation on Monday and Tuesday and I'm here trying to dig myself out of the MOUNDS of homework I already have!!! Orientation was nice. We received our syllabus', which weren't too big. Met some new people, and saw many that I already knew ...

I like to give myself sample tests. I have a test on Monday on prefix and suffix and I typed up all of the pref & suffixes with and empty space next to them. I printed out 10 copies. First I study my flash cards and then TEST MYSELF. Have you...

Marilyn, I just wanted to tell you that you absolutely did the right thing by turning around and taking her home. You are solely responsible for her protection and that's just what you did today! What an awful experience- who knows what would of h...

Are you sure that you HAVE to purchase them at the luncheon? In my orientation packet it said that we would take a tour of the bookstore and buy our books at that time. But in reality, most students either already had them or were going to purchase...

I'm a big Amazon.com fan! They have a big selection of used. I also have sold over 12 of my old books at Amazon because I can get more there than at the bookstore! I also always sell very quickly there- within a week usually. Marci:)

Congratulations Jenn! Feels good doesn't it?? What was your career in the legal profession? I was a Paralegal for a finance corporation. Marci:)

It does bother me, somewhat. I'm really excited about my future career and hope it will be as fulfilling as I think it will be. But when I hear so many negative comments about the profession, it's a little discouraging. My Aunt just retired after 3...

Wow Caroline- great tips and congratulations! I don't need to lose, but I definitely need to TONE! My arms, which were always sleek and slender are all of the sudden starting to droop and collect fat! I just hate looking at them. I want to start w...

Here's a link to the 9th edition (current edition is 10th.) They're selling used for under $20! http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0471366927/ref=pd_sim_books_1/002-9146218-0337638?v=glance&s=books

I could have written this post a year ago. Not only did that happen to me- but it was the same authors! I had Marieb for I and Tortora for II. Our instructor said don't worry, I could use Marieb, but I found that there were some differences in ter...

Don't worry Colleen- I think we're all having a little anxiety! All of the sudden my face is starting to break out!!! And I'm 37 years old and haven't "broken-out" in years!:roll :roll!?!?! Just think of all of the nursing graduate RN's, for some i...

I have thought about doing this too, and after reading this thread I think I will! I do scrapbooks for my kids so I already have "all the stuff" to do it. I have saved all of my important documents, like my acceptance letter, a letter from the Dea...

Paralegal for a motorcycle finance corporation. Who knows, maybe someday I'll pursue a career as a Para-nurse. But I really doubt it. One of the things that I hated about my job was the endless documents, endless revisions, and endless sitting at ...

I'm just wondering how everyone else gets through all of the required reading. See, I have this problem, whenever I read I start yawning and get tired! Maybe it's because I've always read at bedtime (I don't anymore.) Several times my hubby has co...

here's a fool-proof way to do all these types of problems. 1 gr (1 ml ) (.. 60 mg) 60 6.... (15 mg) ( 1 gr ) = 90 = 0.67 ml first you cancel out gr's and then mg's. ml is left and that is what you want to ...
