  1. Help!- I am in trouble!!!!

    AtomicWoman replied to YSB82's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

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

  3. I need your help now guys, please pray for us!!!

    AtomicWoman replied to 9livesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am so sorry things didn't go as well as planned. But they didn't go as badly as was possible, either, as I'm sure you already know! That doesn't make your situation any easier, but at least you are...

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

    It depends. My first chemistry teacher let us use a one-page cheat sheet that we filled in with whatever we thought would be important. My second chemistry teacher allowed no cheat sheets whatsoever,...

  5. I yelled at another nurse.

    AtomicWoman replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

  19. New Grads - where is there a nursing glut?

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

    I made hundreds and hundreds of flash cards for A&P. When you study, be sure to read them out loud, too. Adding the sense of hearing helps embed the material more deeply in long-term memory. I...
