  5. A&P I Summer 2007

    srkastc replied to reneemichell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For me, this load would be overwhelming, but with good time management and study habits, doable. My English class required us to write lots of essays and research papers. I consider English one of my...

    srkastc replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Nursing Humor

  8. What do you do with DISRUPTIVE classmates?

    srkastc replied to 2bLPNLilPrettyNewyorkr's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    First of all I would find a different seat! If your seats are assigned, ask to be moved. Tell your teacher that she is interfering with your ability to hear the lectures. Perhaps you could gently,...

    srkastc replied to NoWaNrN's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Wow - you sound like me! My first quiz in A&P I got a 6/10 - because I wasn't specific enough in my answers! Uhhhggg! I've never made a grade that low - Thank God it was only a quiz! I know it...

  10. Ughhh....Microbiology!!

    srkastc replied to SmetRN2008's topic in General Students

    I fell your pain...lol. I'm in A&P and am floundering - not because the material is particularly hard-but because I am required to master it in such a short period of time. Micro is not easy and...

  11. Will this be too hard??

    srkastc replied to seek1kees's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. A&P nightmare!!!

    srkastc replied to srkastc's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse2BStacey- Not at all! I do want to be prepared for the rigors of nursing, but without the all the drama this teacher brings! We've only had 3 sessions and the class already has nicknamed her,...

    srkastc replied to srkastc's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse2BStacey - you did make some great points. I agree that it is not productive for an instructor to hold their student's hands. I realize that alot of my time will be spend studying and teaching...
