  1. Which is harder - A&P I or A&P II?

    Absolutely13 replied to Lovelymo79's topic in General Students

    Dang! I wasn't going to say anything, but I took A&P II in 5 1/2 weeks. I got the usual "A", but I'm telling you nursing school is different. I get "B 's" now and I'm working harder than I ever...

    Absolutely13 replied to rplf29's topic in General Students

    Absolutely13 replied to rplf29's topic in General Students

    I did the same thing just to see what I was getting into. As a matter of fact, that's how I found allnurses.com. If you're really motivated and want something to do, get a book on introduction to...

  5. What are the most important things i need to review about Anatomy and Physiology..

    Absolutely13 replied to rplf29's topic in General Students

    The most important thing about A&P? I would have to say learn it well and give it your all, because there isn't enough time in nursing school for more than a quick refresher when tackling the...

  6. Fake Swine Flu vaccine and medication warning

    Absolutely13 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    May 1, 7:26 PM It didn't take long for scam artists to start cashing in on the Swine Flu craziness. Today the federal government released the alert below warning there's NO vaccine, cure or...

  7. Which is harder - A&P I or A&P II?

    Absolutely13 replied to Lovelymo79's topic in General Students

    A&P II seemed easier, but I think that's because learning how to study for A&P was a constantly evolving process in A&P I. I finally found an efficient and effective way to do it by the...

  8. WHO raises swine flu pandemic alert to phase 5

    Absolutely13 replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No vaccine has been developed yet and it appears to have spread to new locations by travel. Mutated strains are a big concern

  9. WHO raises swine flu pandemic alert to phase 5

    Absolutely13 replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I can see how that read and apologize for my apparent lack of compassion. Triage nurses will be challenged to identify acuity if they are inundated. The potential problems worry

    Hello fellow nursing students! We had an assignment for fluids & electrolytes and I drew hypermagnesemia - I know, vanilla. Anyhow, I just got the grade back............100% from this...

  14. Bedbaths and Bedmaking

    Absolutely13 replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in General Students

    Our first clinical rotation was LTC and the skills labs were focused on basic client care at that time, so we did a lot of baths, ADL assistance and bedmaking then. I haven't done much of that since....

  15. Students that cheat

    Absolutely13 replied to NewNurseAlert's topic in General Students

    This isn't advice, but an example of another way of looking at it. Have I turned in a cheater? Yes, in a heartbeat. Why? Because I don't want them in the same pyxis as me. They've demonstrated they...

  17. quickest Route to a RN

    Absolutely13 replied to Angela.RN2B's topic in General Nursing

    Respectfully, this was 22 years ago. All of my instructors are masters level and my A&P professors (2) are PhD's. The pass rate I referred to was NCLEX, not course. I would love to take an NCLEX...

    If you have never taken college courses, expect a year and a half, at least, to finish prereq's as a full time student before entering an 18 to 24 month ADN program. Have excellent grades! With the...

    Just a quick thanks, Daytonite, for all the advising you do here on AN. People like yourself make this place the valuable resource it

  21. Stupid question about RN to BSN programs

    Absolutely13 replied to vegnurse21's topic in General Students

    I think you're going to have to get the prereqs out of the way first. You might want to contact the bridge program in which you'll be applying to make sure the classes are transferable (say, from the...

  22. Keiser vs. BCC for Nursing Program in Space Coast??

    Absolutely13 replied to Leocadia's topic in Florida Nursing

    The BCC Palm Bay program is only in its third year and has straightened out many of the initial problems. The points system is pretty fierce and it's possible to get in with 25 points, but you'll get...

  23. Given credit for A&P II , should I take the class????

    Absolutely13 replied to rntobe4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing school is challenging enough as it is without adding potential knowledge deficits. I would audit, ask to take tests and challenge yourself just like a credit class. You'll need what is taught...
