    DA314 replied to rcclover00's topic in General Nursing

    Do you mean A&P as in Anatomy and Physiology? My suggestion for that class would be to start memorizing bones, muscles, ligaments, joints, NOW. Get the Netter's flash cards and try to learn a...

    DA314 replied to TrickieTam's topic in General Nursing

    Stay in 'Bama! I'm an Alabama transplant and I miss home like crazy! Winters here are too cold, and the atmosphere is more hurried. Although, I can see where you'd want to get out of Auburn (lol). I...

  6. Going to Nursing School

    DA314 replied to niecynoo32's topic in General Nursing

    DA314 posted a topic in General Nursing

  9. Wearing all white

    DA314 replied to THAT Nurse.'s topic in General Nursing

    It seems to me that health care professionals should be judged on their ability to provide excellent care, not on waht they wear. Do hospital administrators really have nothing better to do than...

    DA314 replied to oncologynurse77's topic in General Nursing

    I applaud you for having the strength and courage to do what you do. It can't be easy. Maybe you could start seeing a counselor? Talking to a professional about your feelings may help. Often times,...

  22. What are my chances?

    DA314 replied to exquisite20's topic in General Nursing

    Exquisite- don't listen to negative attitudes. Someone who has a crummy day/life shouldn't come on here just to take it out on others. It sounds like you had a positive experience with the admissions...
