"i just took an exacto knife...cut all the way through the binding glue...any pages that wanted to come apart i used a stapler. now its not the prettiest thing but it works!";) this is probably the best way- i called kinco's and they said with hard or soft cover textbooks, that is all they do- cut it off. if it was a home bound or plastic coil, they would cut that too, but how hard is that to do yourself?! after debinding, punch holes in the side and you can add/remove the chapters you need/want from your binder!

I will be taking A&P this fall and can't say how reassuring it is to hear there are others with small children! I am a little nervous about finding the time to study but I want this too bad to not find the time! I also want to say how AWESOME all these links are to study guides, practice tests and tutorials...THANK YOU!!! :)

I would love clarification on this, only because from what I have seen is that MD's have less contact with the pts and more liabilty but I am in a fog about the other responsibilities that are different. I'm sure it varies a bit depending on the floor, but I have often witnessed the RN's and MDs discussing pt conditions/options almost on the same level of knowledge. I have often wondered myself what the actual differences are and would LOVE some info. I have a long way to go before I am done school (for RN) but would appreciate your take on the two professions!

I have taken many of my pre reqs through NHTI and was planning on applying...I met with the director of admissions for the program and NHTI's criteria for the NLN exam seemed very strict- she said you could only take it in Jan, so if you did not pass you had to wait an entire year. I met with admissions at Rivier and although more expensive, they seemed so much more reasonable. Parts of the RN pre-entrance exam can be re-taken right away, unlike NHTI, so I wouldn't be set back a year. I have enjoyed the instructors and classes I have taken with NHTI, don't get me wrong, I am just very nervous about the entrance exam and willing to pay more to have a little less stress and tension about the whole thing! There were a couple of other factor's that Rivier offered I liked better. And NHTI is stopping their evening RN program, which may be limiting to some.
