  1. I am a visual and hands on learner

    AtomicWoman replied to Shawnygirl003's topic in General Students

    AtomicWoman replied to AtomicWoman's topic in General Students

    Thanks to all who have answered thus far. I really appreciate it. I'm going to check out a few of those books on Amazon. My hope is that if I do some reading now, my reaction won't be when I open my...

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

  15. Why is it top secret? ;) (grades)

    AtomicWoman replied to Miss_Piggy.RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Professors won't reveal a student's grade to another student, but I have never heard of students being told not to tell each other what they scored. It's up to the individual student to tell or not....

    AtomicWoman replied to notthereyet0's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  21. Things to get out of the way NOW if you are starting in the Spring

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

    This is something you gardeners may want to do. It occurred to me that next spring and summer, I won't be able to tend to my garden the way I like. I won't have time to fuss with annuals -- picking...

  24. Terrified of drawing blood

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