    what do you use: notebooks/binders/other??

    manna replied to Maycee's topic in General Students

    If my school would "get with the times" and have wireless connectivity in our classrooms, I'd invest in a laptop and keep track of notes/handouts (on WebCT) that way! Would be so much easier, and I...

    nursing school really FULL TIME???

    manna replied to brandy119's topic in General Nursing

    We only have 14 credit hours, but we're in class from 8:30-4:30, 5 days a week. Every other week this semester, we'll have clinical - either an 8h or 12h day, 5 days a week. We spend as much time,...

    Ever done a clinical rotation in a prison?

    manna replied to mariedoreen's topic in General Students

    Not here either (although I haven't gotten to community yet - senior year) - though that sounds pretty interesting! Definately a different experience! Good luck!

    Yep, another stethoscope thread.. maybe we need a sticky! :chuckle Anyway - my dog ate my Littmann. Wah. Was convenient of him that he waited until Christmas break to do it, at least ! :chuckle...

    Going to try to CLEP Chemistry...Help needed!

    manna replied to Reesa23's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I haven't CLEP'd chem, but I'd be very careful that your school gives credit for a CLEP science course. Many colleges won't honor a CLEP score for a lab based science (if the lab is required). Good...

    What is Happening with the Texas BON!!!

    manna replied to barefootlady's topic in Texas Nursing

    So much for improving the public's perception of nurses? I agree with Chris. If this information is common enough knowledge that there's an article written on it, why doesn't the BON know? And...

    What was your Pinning Ceremony like?

    What did you buy yourself for a graduation present

    manna replied to Nightcrawler's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is what I'm hoping to give myself as a graduation gift too (if I make it :chuckle) - a vacation! We've NEVER been on a family vacation - heck, my husband and I didn't even have a

    Pharmacology and A&P1

    manna replied to stephera's topic in General Nursing

    It probably depends on your program, too. At my school, all pre-reqs (including A&P) had to be completed before we could enroll in any nursing courses (including pharm). Good luck, either way!...

    what do you use: notebooks/binders/other??

    manna replied to Maycee's topic in General Students

    Last semester I used one big binder divided into different sections - but that filled up quickly, and since some of our topics overlapped from class to class - got very confusing. I still havent'...

    Starting first job and feel like I'm leaving my kids

    manna replied to MSMCnurse2004's topic in General Nursing

    I think a little "mommy guilt" is to be expected. Just think of the wonderful example you're providing for your children - one of hard work, dedication, and the fact that you care about them enough...

    manna replied to cdietrich404's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wish we'd had cadavers as well. I don't feel like I really learned very much from the animal dissections. In A&P I & II (both the same semester), we did 2 cats, sheep brain, cow eyeball, and...

    Without Nurses We Have Nothing!

    manna replied to NoDayButToday's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't gotten any disrespect from the doctors I know personally (not working yet since I'm still a student) - in fact, when I was originally interested in med school, they encouraged me to do...
