Hi All! I would like to know how many of you here are nursing students or nursing majors at Sinclair Community College. I have recently taken the PAX-RN, and am finally on the waiting list at Sinclair. Would also like to know if any of you are taking...

Anyone have any suggestions about an easy way to keep all this cellular respiration, glycolysis, Krebs Cycle stuff straight? We have an abbreviated time in lecture on these subjects in A&P due to the Thanksgiving holiday (only two lecture periods...

I lived in an upper middle class suburb, went to exceptional public schools, and there WERE kids in my middle school having sex, and yes, getting pregnant. This was in the late 70's, early 80's. I am not picking on you or anyone else that mentioned t...

That is so cool! My 15 year old daughter has decided she wants to be a nurse, as well as my 15 year old step-daughter. Unfortunately, I won't have the opportunity to take classes with them (and they are probably glad about that at their age!), but th...

:rotfl: Gotta love it!!!!

bless you, cheerfuldoer, for saying what i was afraid to say. this little girl is a baby herself, with her whole life ahead of her. it would be an option i would consider if it happened to my daughter at that age, regardless of my general feeling abo...

Thanks, Dave. I am old enough to remember horror stories about certain IUD's, and though I realize we've come a long way in medicine it is hard for me not to feel like a guinea pig sometimes! Never hurts to ask. "ILuvNRSKarenRN"...I see you got some ...

WARNING: Anyone grossed out or easily offended by menses posts, PLEASE READ NO FURTHER! Okay, maybe I should post this in the OB/GYN area, but here goes: A couple of hours ago I had an unsettling thing happen. I stood up from a seated position and fe...

Oh, my, LilTiger, I am so sorry. As a mother of young teenage daughters you have my heartfelt empathy. Please keep us posted as to how you and your daughter are doing. I don't really know what else to add. I am not sure if it came down to brass tacks...

COOL! Really, seriously this sounds awesome! Progesterone, huh? That's excellent. That might even help me with PMS! I will definitely discuss this at my appointment. Thank you so much for your post! :kiss

thanks for the suggestion, adria. i will discuss this with my doctor. i guess it would depend whether it would be the right thing for a woman my age who never plans on having any more children. hey, if it works, it would beat the heck out of a hyster...

2 years for rn. lpn is different than rn. pm me (private message). i am in dayton, too.

I just registered for classes for Spring quarter. I only have a few pre-req's left and it may be 4-5 more quarters before my name comes up on the waiting list (possibly as soon as next fall or winter quarter). I have just registered for A&P III a...

Thank you for that, MLOS. I am feeling better about this already. I am glad someone is able to point out the forest for me...sometimes it's so hard to see for the trees!

Marilyn, Kewl! Another fellow home schooler! I am really enjoying A&P. I think micro will be cool, too. Yes, I have spoken to people at school about micro, but I don't know what to believe. I had people telling me how outrageously hard A&P...

Thanks for that, bigmona. It makes me feel better. I know what you mean about having no life. But I guess as jemride pointed out, we just have to keep our eyes on the prize!

Thanks for the encouragement you guys! A&P III and Micro will be the only classes I will be taking Spring quarter. Okay, quit laughing! Really, I have a full plate. I home school my kids, ages 15, 9 and 5. That in and of itself is a full time job...

Since we have strayed off topic here, I am going to PM you.

Yep, I think so, too. It goes back to my theory of it being "sour grapes." I plan to be a NP someday and I intend to get good grades, period. I am an "A" student, and while I don't discuss my grades with anyone someone always figures it out anyhow. "...

I think it might be a very, very small club Roland. I am sure if my husband could trade his bald head for a head full of hair, he would, but not at the expense of his life in the bedroom. Sufficeth to say, he would not wish to be a card carrying memb...

Okay, I must ask...why "white" underwear? What about fleshtone? I personally don't like seeing underwear through pants at all, and those "tighty-whities" show through badly! If pants aren't too tight, and the undies aren't patterned or colored or bri...

Umm..uh-uh...not gonna comment. Good luck to you and your wife in CRNA school.

This sounds like me. I probably study MORE than 2 hours for every hour of class time. I don't get much sleep, but I know my stuff when the test comes around. And, yeah, it depends on the course. I find I have to study longer to get my A&P to sink...

Sounds all too familiar. Definitely get back to Urgent Care. The sooner you get the bacterial stuff treated the better (but I guess I DON'T need to tell you that!). Force those fluids whether you want them or not!!! And, hey, just feel better, okay?

For me I got it the beginning of December, went into secondary bacterial infections (bronchitis and ear infections). I am still battling the ear and sinus stuff...starting my third course of antibiotics today. And yes, it started off with the flu...a...
