  1. My mom just passed away....

    AtomicWoman replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Students

    Oh, I am so sorry for your loss! My Dad died while I was in graduate school, and I remember how tough that was. :icon_hug: Many hugs to you. I hope your school will cut you a little slack and that you...

  2. Stool sample for Micro class?????

    AtomicWoman replied to RXtech's topic in General Students

    Me, too! I would probably be checking my sample to make sure there wasn't anything embarrassing in it. (Gad, I won't go into details about THAT!) And an "acorn-sized" sample? What are you supposed to...

  3. Stool sample for Micro class?????

    AtomicWoman replied to RXtech's topic in General Students

    What a weird site! I just wanted to warn others that there are ads for Media on that site. I didn't see any graphics, but for those who would be offended... And PLEASE don't click on the Top 20. OK,...

  4. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I have no idea what the application preference column is for! The default was "no" or "none" and I left it that way. It MAY be for students who apply to multiple programs; perhaps they indicate their...

  5. Pathphys argument

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

    I read Medical Detectives by Roueche. I love Oliver Sacks, too! For my 50th birthday, my husband bought me a bunch of medical history/medical case books. I've been working my way through them and...

  6. Any older people in pre-nursing?

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

    I know 2 women whose Moms went to nursing schools in their 30s or 40s. Both of those women have told me how much they admire their Mom and how they felt she set a great example for them! So, you're...

  7. what is a good chemistry book for study and exercises?

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

    One of my favorite websites (and everything is FREE to download!) is chemreview.net. It is awesome, and they constantly update it: http://www.chemreview.net/ One guy who saved my bacon with Lewis...

  8. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    When I was at Jefferson yesterday, I'm pretty sure I saw a FACT student walking down 9th Street, because she was wearing that top and white pants. AGGGGGH! I also think she was wearing a white tee...

  9. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I received an email about a week after I did my online application. I then called the admissions counselor and made the appointment for a few days later. Because I had already been accepted to a...

  10. Any older people in pre-nursing?

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

    I feel the same way! If the professor doesn't say something, I turn to the students yakking and say, "SHHHH!". I'm sure my fellow students think, "Oh, there goes the Old Coot again." :chuckle But I...

  11. Pathphys argument

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

    I read one of Burton Roueche's books this summer. It was great! I also either read Discover Magazine's Vital Signs or listen to the Vital Signs podcasts while I'm exercising. They help me understand...

  12. Pathphys argument

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

    :bowingpur:bowingpur:bowingpur as always, daytonite, you rock! that link is going to be on my computer

  13. Microbiology - Fall 2008

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

    I wanted to post one other website for those of you who are NOT using the Cowan microbiology textbook. The publisher has made the site open-access, so you can go to it and do the quizzes and look at...

  14. How do you study?

    AtomicWoman replied to JustKeepSmiling's topic in General Students

    On my flashcards, I write question or a sentence with a blank in it on one side, and the answer on the reverse side. This helps me quiz myself, and it also means someone else can quiz me by asking me...

  15. Pathphys argument

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

    Thanks for the post! I am enjoying reading this, even though I am not yet in nursing school. :) I wonder if there is a pathophys case of the day/week thread on allnurses? It sure would be fun to read...

  16. Is taking A&P I and Org./Bio. Chem. together doable?

    AtomicWoman replied to hearts895, RN BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are willing to pretty much give up your social life for that semester, you should be able to do it. It will most likely be a stressful experience (I hated having a Chem and A&P exam the...

  17. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    This is my new mantra for myself: Do 2 Years Anywhere. Do 2 Years Anywhere. Do 2 Years Anywhere. ("Anywhere" preferably meaning a hospital, since it seems a lot of hospitals don't consider 2 years at...

  18. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Accelerated, take a deep breath. Now exhale. Now inhale. Now exhale. :) We might as well enjoy these months, because that 1 year is going to be intense. Besides, they may very well change the books...

  19. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Actually, I'm not in the program quite yet. :) You are probably thinking of of Bailey728, who has answered all of my questions so patiently. My interview is tomorrow. I've been through this before,...

  20. Microbiology - Fall 2008

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

    Yep. The same thing happens with telescopes. When you have a lower-power telescope (or high-power binoculars), you are looking at a big chunk of the sky. But when you look through a high-power...

  21. Our Lady of Lourdes Nursing School

    AtomicWoman replied to SerenityR.N.'s topic in New Jersey Nursing

    The interview wasn't a big deal. Why do you want to be a nurse? What are your strengths and weaknesses? Exciting questions like that. :) Try to relax and just be yourself. Be sure to go with a list of...

  22. So I'm thinking it would have been less painful............

    AtomicWoman replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mine is gastrocnemius. Most of the students in my class couldn't remember it, and I thought it had the coolest sound when you say it, because you have to kind of pause in your throat to say that "c"...

  23. Hesi A2!

    AtomicWoman replied to spangs17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely get the study guide. There are some weirdities on the HESI, like all those darn Roman Numerals! And most of the generic study guides have math that is more advanced than you need for the...

  24. CPR certification?

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

    And if your school does say BLS is OK, make sure the course you're taking is called BLS for Healthcare Providers. I just took mine about a month ago. The certification is good for 2 years and then you...

  25. Microbiology - Fall 2008

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

    Aw, shucks! I just loved micro so much I want the whole world to love it! :chuckle If you think that list is long, you should see my list of chemistry websites! I don't call myself AtomicWoman for...
