  1. From death row to pediatrics. Say WHAT?

    Im glad it worked out for you
  2. 88 year old F patient was admitted with Acute Lower GI Bleeding. My nursing care book and Lippincott have diagnosis's for upper GI bleeding but not lower. The Dr. ordered a colonoscopy for tomorrow thinking she has an ulcer. Her other pertinent med...
  3. I am one big ball of stress!

    I felt that way taking A&PII during the summer session..8 weeks instead of 16, really fast paced with all labs self taught. But what I realized is it actually easy compared to nursing school, all memorizing and heck I can do that. I ended up with...
  4. Please give INPUT!!!!

    OH man that powerpoint way sounds aweful. Im all for timing it and if there is a way not to go back fine, but let me control my own time mgt. Some questions require more processing time than others and the time limit per question would def. stress me...
  5. From death row to pediatrics. Say WHAT?

    Just think...everybody loves Hagrid in the HP movies Big and Burley can seem protective and huggable instead of intimidating given the right tone of voice and facial expressions.
  6. First week of Nursing school over!!!

    My first week was not AS stressfull but we do have a test on Monday. Im having a hard time getting into it so far I guess because the stuff this week has been what seems to be common sense. We havent had a lab yet but we did go to the hosp. for train...
  7. No She/he Did Not!!!

    OMG this scares the crap out of me. Did she kill the pt? How did they keep his/her BS up? really curious since my son is a diabetic.
  8. Student moms who homeschool

    I am homeschoolling my 5th grader for the first time this year and I just started the ADN program on Monday so I will have to let you know :heartbeat We decided to homeschool him because he is a diabetic and the middle school here is not the best con...
  9. For those starting Monday

    Im going to finish up an intensive cleaning job on my house, I figure it will probably be awhile before I can really clean deep down. When I went and bought my books at the campus book store I had a 2nd year student come up to me and introduce herse...
  10. Grading Scale

    Our grading system is the same except a 77 is considered a C.
  11. Again, you cannot judge school work in the same light as what someone posts on message boards. Alot of times when someone is posting on a board it is in the heat of a moment or they are really stressed out and are bound to make typo's ets. People ar...
  12. Re: discrimination instructor bully leagal action need help I hope this doesn't sound unduly harsh, but if your previous posts are any indication I suspect the problem wasn't your instructor. Perhaps you should consider taking some writing and gramm...
  13. What items does your school recommend for supplies?

    Our school is recommending PSA'a and will prob. switch to mandatory PDA's. I was told that they would sell them in the bookstore and all of our textbooks will give us the option of software or PDA software. Our scrubs have to be ordered by a specific...
  14. I just got a job as a med tech. in a nursing home. In NC the test is free for med. tech and you can become certified in no time.I think this will help me with pharmacology when I start the RN program in the fall, at least that is my HOPE anyway. I do...
  15. How to get a head-start in Anatomy Class for Fall 08?

    Start memorizing the names of the bones and anatomical positions. This will help you learn the anatomy of the body and alot of things will make sense to you. Thats my opinion anyway. The hardest part of A&P I for me was the muscles (mostly the ph...
  16. Financial Aid....WIA contacts

    Why would they only play for the last semester? That seems really odd. You can call the local unemployment office and just ask for a number to talk to someone. At the school I go to they have an office in our school as well.
  17. Financial Aid....WIA contacts

    I live in NC and I am using the WIA program. My story is I was in the tech field making 50,000 a year and got laid off from my job after 8 years. In this area high paying jobs are limited to none esp. in that field. So a friend told me about workforc...
  18. So last semester I made an A in A&P but this semester I am having a REALLY hard time with it. My first test barely a B and I just took my 2nd lecture test and failed it (58), it was on Blood Vessels. The next test in resperitory but I am so lost ...
  19. Any starting in Fall 2008

    I am starting in the fall at HCC in Eastern NC. I am finishing my pre reqs this summer taking both A and P II and Micro. Having a hard time with both these classes being only 8 weeks but somehow Ill get through it. I am also not young, 36 and holdin...
  20. I failed my TEAS

    I would take the pencil/paper version if at all possible. You have way more time to go through all of the problems you know and then go back or perhaps guess at which ones are left. Luckily for me the 2nd time I took it it was the SAME EXACT test. M...
