Does anyone have any websites for the axial skeleton?

I was told by my advisor that the critical thinking class was a good elective for nursing students...

21 yrs

My last job was a soldier. It just wasnt for me. I deployed to Iraq and hated it. Want to talk stress, I dont think there is anything more stressful then worrying about your life, being thousands of miles away from your family, and doing a job you hate (truck driving). I got out and decided to go back to college to find a new career, and that is when nursing "found" me. In the Army I had stability, paycheck every two weeks (not that it was anything to brag about), healthcare, but it just didnt make me happy, so I hope nursing will be more enjoyable for me.

Honestly, I would take a different route. Everyone has someone in thier family with an illness, and that doesnt mean they will be a good nurse, or if nursing is right for them. Also, I was always under the assumption thats nurses dont diagnose.

well, im looking into applying to 3 local community colleges, the one im at im going to apply for the rn program. my school doesnt have a wait list, you either get in or you dont, if you dont u try again next year. im planning on applying for the other 2 community colleges lpn program as backups....i want to be a nurse, either way that will happen, if i get into one of the lpn programs and not the rn im going to go back to school and bridge into an rn program

I have to agree. Being Bi-lingual will only help you when its time to get a job....brushing up on math is a good idea as well. Our school offers Critical thinking which I was told by my advisor is a good elective to take. A few more I can think of- sociology, womens studies, religion, and cultural studies.

dont worry about writing down everything he or she says. write down the term and listen to the lecture....then later use your text to get the def.

I saw some at the bookstore (books a million) the other day, I think im going to get them as well. Who really has time to make all the flashcards anyway? As long as you study them you will benefit from them, or at least thats what im thinking :)

I would never marry someone based on thier job, status, or income. I married a soldier. He is gone all the time, gets crappy pay, yet I love him with all my heart.

I just wanted to say hi and welcome to bragg! You can take the cna refresher course at fayetteville tech community college...its about 10 minutes from fort bragg! If you need any info let me know

Yes, you have to pass the nclex-pn

Have you googled used bookstores in your area? I got a couple of mine at a local used bookstore...also craigslist as well.

I know for army...they have a new thing where if your husband has 6 years in and re-ups he can give you his GI bill....we might do that for me to go back and get a bachelors...right now im paying out of pocket for my ADN but its not that expensive.... Wow...I think you guys for the all the replies...but I have to ask...how did your career suffer? Was it because you didnt have the chance to advance or get the job you wanted?

hey, you dont know that persons life thats not fair to judge. In the real world (outside school) there are going to be tons of distractions and you still have to perform. I know my husband is going to korea and if I get a call (granted my phone would be on vibrate) I would step out to talk to him, and raise hell if I got any crap about it. That person could have sick kids, or whatever thier case may be.
