I do.

I'm only in my first semester, but so far, all of my instructors, and especially my clinical instructor, are extremely helpful, and forgiving. Maybe I'm just fortunate.

A&P Second Lab test on bones. I scored 100%. There were 2 A's, 2 B's 4 C's. the other 5 were D's or F's, which is not passing for a nursing core curriculum course. You're only allowed to fail a core course two times. Some of the people failing in...

The major hospital in my area offers Nursing School students positions as Nurse Externs while in school. You get to work with nurses as a sort of Aide, they help pay for your school, and you get paid. You may want to find out if a hospital in your ar...

Good grief! Thankfully, we didn't have to get that in depth into our bed baths.

First lecture exam average was 73. Thank God I got a 93. Average for the lab exam was 62. Thank God again, I got a 96. Wife got a 95 on the lab exam. She didn't have to take the lecture, because she's auditing the class (already had Anatomy, Physiol...

I had 4 tests last week. Got a B on nursing fundamentals one, a B on the Nursing across the lifespan one, an A in A&P Lecture, a 96 on A&P Lab (Average was 63, out of a couple hundred students).

I can connect to this new one just fine. However, I also use MIRC to talk for other stuff. Do you know how I can connect using Mirc? I only need to know which server it's hosted on, and the channel name.

Going well. Had our first nursing fundamentals lab on friday. I'm taking A&P1 at the same time I'm taking my NUR courses, so I'm having to study constantly. It's definitely the most rigorous thing I've ever done. Way tougher than my bachelor's de...

I hope these will help, as my A&P class has a 48% pass rate. Our nursing curriculum only allows us to fail/withdraw from one class. Any more than that, and they give you the boot.

Yes, the results of the litigation required that some of the money from the settlement (about 15% in most states) go to the tobacco farmers that harvest the tobacco, and take the risks that come with planting something in the earth. They are the ones...

Cool, I just ordered 2 (yes, two, my wife and I are both going to school) classic II se stethoscopes from reddingmedical. They were about as cheap as allheart.

Hope you don't mind me asking, but where did you get that Classic II SE?

At our informational meeting last month, I saw about 4 out of the 38 accepted. I'll find out more at orientation, August 16. Classes start August 19.

I just finished a bachelor's in political science, and I decided to join my wife in starting nursing school. She, being the smart woman that she is, has already taken anatomy, physiology, and microbiology. I however, have not had any of these since t...

I agree with feisty, I eat all the fattening stuff I want, and I lost 45lbs. Just stay away from sugar and too much carbs.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm hoping and praying that we do well in school. Reading these boards has really opened my eyes to some info that I'm sure is bound to help. My wife doesn't post on these boards, but she looks alot, like myself. Thanks a...

Thanks for the help everybody. I'm taking 15 credit hours, but I may drop the statistics, and go down to 12 if things get too tough. We're in a 2 year ADN program (fall-spring-summer, fall-spring) with the option to take the NCLEX-lpn after the summe...

Yes, 7pm. I'll correct it. I personally believe I can do it, but some people i've talked to questioned taking nursing classes at the same time as A&P. This is why I asked. Thanks for the insight

I just bought a pair of Propet Stability Walkers. Found a size 15 without a problem, and they were only $40. Anybody else heard of these? We've gotta go buy my wife some too. Not sure what to get. Just going to try and find something comfortable.

Thanks for the warm welcome :)

Currently, I work as a Dangerous Goods specialist for FedEx about 40 hours a week. I just finished a Bachelor's in Political Science, and have decided to switch to nursing school, which my wife is starting with me this fall. When school starts, I'l...

My school has a 5 semester program. I'm going Fall, Spring, Summer, then Fall, Spring. At the end of the summer session, if we want, we can take the NCLEX-PN to become a LPN, and stop there. Or we can go two more semesters, and take the NCLEX-RN, and...

:) $15/hour is alot more fair than the $2/hour some thought she was getting :)

Cheerfuldoer, I think Leesonlpn was kidding. The Canadian dollar is currently worth just a little bit less than the US dollar. I believe the exchange rate is $1.50 Canadian dollars for $1 US dollar. That means Leesonlpn makes approximately $15 USD pe...
