  6. 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?

    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...

  14. Bedbaths and Bedmaking

    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

    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...

  21. Stupid question about RN to BSN programs

    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??

  23. 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...
