    AtomicWoman replied to AtomicWoman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are so very welcome! Every extra dollar counts, I know that!

  2. Having major concerns going the FNP route....

    AtomicWoman replied to jlcole45's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just wondering what state you practice in? You make a great point that your caseload will grow as "word gets out" that you take time with patients and give their cases your attention. I work with 3...

  3. Military/VA RN's - Please post experiences for Students

    AtomicWoman replied to RNPATL's topic in Government, Military

    Does the VA offer tuition

  4. For Those Who Sell Their Books Back to the Bookstore

    AtomicWoman replied to AtomicWoman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are very welcome; glad to help. :) I buy from betterworld.com, too. They have good prices and their shipping is cheap and they support literacy

  5. UMDNJ Accelerated BSN students

    AtomicWoman replied to njmonsterboi80's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    You can PM after you post 15 messages.

  6. A&P 1 Spring 08

    AtomicWoman replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You've definitely got to ask the professor's permission to record. If they say OK, and you think it would help you retain the material, go for

  7. Looking for online A&P or Microbiology?

    AtomicWoman replied to AtomicWoman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've done some online work, and I worked harder there than in my in-class courses. :) So actually, I think it may take MORE dedication and focus to do a major science class online. Procrastinators...

  8. Looking for online A&P or Microbiology?

    AtomicWoman posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just answered someone in another thread, but thought others might be interested. Ocean County College (Toms River, NJ) has some sections of completely online microbiology and A&P I and A&P...

  9. Microbiology - Fall 2008

    AtomicWoman replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In micro, I found it easiest to organize diseases first by the causative agent: bacterial diseases, viral diseases, parasitic diseases. Then a subcategory of where, if any place, the bacteria, virus...

  10. Military/VA RN's - Please post experiences for Students

    AtomicWoman replied to RNPATL's topic in Government, Military

    Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to respond to my questions. Dang, I don't feel so much like an Old Coot any more.

  11. Private Student Loans....??

    AtomicWoman replied to ~FutureNurse~'s topic in General Students

    Have you checked CitiBank? https://www.studentloan.com/findstudentloan/loansforundergraduates.htm?Source=ifaidcl005 They do say that it's possible to get a private student loan without a cosigner,...

  12. Taking physiology first??? HELP!

    AtomicWoman replied to jnguyen115's topic in General Students

    This idea does not jazz me too much. So much of physiology makes sense -- and is easier to remember -- when you understand the underlying anatomy. Don't give up on getting into another course you...

  13. Failing a student when not receving a failing grade?

    AtomicWoman replied to Nurse 2009's topic in General Students

    I know a lot of venting about clinical instructors goes on here, and much of it seems to be reasonable, based on some of the CI behaviors I read about. But we don't know the whole story here. If the...

  14. St joseph hospital school of nursing.

    AtomicWoman replied to toya0419's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    If they don't get that pass rate up pronto, they will lose their accreditation. I don't know how many years they have to achieve 75% or better, but it looks and sounds like they have an uphill climb....

  15. Looking for online A&P or Microbiology?

    AtomicWoman replied to AtomicWoman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's not my cup of tea, either. But for some people, it is their only option, or it appeals to them. I know the microbiology course has a home lab kit that you have to buy. Hey! Take-out E. coli and...

  16. Winter 2009 Microbio??

    AtomicWoman replied to Mmmkay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep. But it's good practice for nursing school.

  17. question about NURSE ANESTHETIST

    AtomicWoman replied to AFree's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Just bear in mind that most CRNA programs are about 30 to 36 months in length. They strongly discourage working while in the program, and with the level of science required, you might find it nearly...

  18. Nursing after 50

    AtomicWoman replied to thinkingaboutnursing's topic in General Students

    Congratulations!

  19. Accelerated without BA

    AtomicWoman replied to EpopBSN's topic in General Students

    The reason they want you to have your BA or BS first is because you will have a certain number of credits done that you don't have to cram into that year or year-and-a-half program. You can just...

  20. Nursing after 50

    AtomicWoman replied to thinkingaboutnursing's topic in General Students

    I'll be 52 when I finish my ABSN. I think we oldsters represent a great opportunity for employers: mature, not prone to get in a dither about nonsense, lots of experience dealing with all kinds of...

  21. Back rub program

    AtomicWoman replied to jer053171's topic in General Students

    If you have ever spent a considerable amount of time confined to bed, even ambulatory, you would know how much better the patient will feel after a backrub. I had a severe case of the flu 7 years ago....

  22. Winter 2009 Microbio??

    AtomicWoman replied to Mmmkay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did a 5-week summer microbiology and I don't recommend trying to do it in a 2 or 3 week Winterim term. I doubt if you'll find any school offering it in the Winterim. Ocean County College (NJ) has a...

  23. What A&P classes do most of the Programs accept?

    AtomicWoman replied to domarera's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just about every program I have ever heard of wants you to either have A&P I followed by A&P II, or a full semester of Anatomy followed by a full semester of Physiology. I have never heard of...

  24. Military/VA RN's - Please post experiences for Students

    AtomicWoman replied to RNPATL's topic in Government, Military

    Thank you! Offhand, do you know if 50 is the cutoff age for joining the Army Reserve Nurse Corps? Do you/did you like working at the VA? Thanks for your kind words!

  25. Having major concerns going the FNP route....

    AtomicWoman replied to jlcole45's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    LOL! Good luck with the female exam next week! In case you haven't seen the Family Guy clip where Peter gets a prostate exam: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHKTE75dgE4
