I thought I was holding up pretty good, until I saw my doctor about these weird arrythmias I have been having. He told me I have mitral valve prolapse with symptoms appearing right around the time I started the program, soooo basically triggered by s...

I'm using a grapefruit(bigger target ), and it works like a charm!

I have to say my first day went really well! It was orientation-like, with a healthy dose of intimidation thrown in there! LOL But they don't scare me :chuckle I'm just really excited....They changed the pharm. book at the last min. which was frust...

Just a silly nursing school student question...what does CYA stand for?

I'm in!! Took my NLN on Feb. 28th, got my score and am now waiting for the school's rejection or acceptance letter! Keeping my fingers crossed for everybody...

I'm starting tonight at a nursing home orientating as a CNA, I'm taking the class there as I go. I've never worked in this kind of setting and am very nervous. Any advice on how I can get through this with ease, any definite do's and don'ts? Thanks i...

Thanks for the replies, they were definitely helpful and true to form. My first few nights have not gone so well. Between the short staff, lack of proper orientation, unfriendly and jaded coworkers, and bad examples set by all, I am definitely discou...

I am taking the nln at the end of Feb. I have the suggested review book and am glad to hear that others have had success with it. I'll be happy when this test is over, any other tips for this particular test would help!! Thanks

Repetition, repetition, repetition!! LOL I concentrated a lot on the diff. long bones, it took awhile to keep the trochanters, condoyles, epicondyles, and tuberosities straight:bugeyes: I found this site really helpful too...http://science.nhmccd.e...

Got my cummulative score for our 3-part test(lecture and 2 bone id), I got a 99%. I goofed a little on the lecture portion but got all the bones right!! Phew, now on to muscles....

I'm awaiting my cummulative score on the bone test. We had a test for the lecture material, an ID test of the axial skeleton, and an ID test of the appendicular skeleton. I got 77 out of 82 possible points for the lecture portion. I'll find out Tues....

Ohhh, good one!! Thanks...:heartbeat

Wow, congrats....:yeah:

Yeah, I would definitely feel lied too!

Wow, thank you so much! I just posted on the A&P Fall 2008 thread that I was in need of some help with bones!

Hey you guys!! Wow, this thread is MASSIVE! I definitely know why :) I didn't have time to look through all of the posts, sorry I apologize if someone has already discussed this, buuttttttt... My A&P just started bones, and we are barely through...

You are absolutely right, we MUST be our own advocates! In 1995, I was discharged from the ER with a diagnosis of a viral infection that "had to run its course". The next day I saw my FP, by late that night, after countless tests and a major surgery...

I completed a 2-year certificate Medical Coding program. I choose it because back then I did not think I had what it took to do patient care. I was unsuccessful in finding a position. I am now working towards RN. The demand is just not there for codi...

Hi everyone! I just registered with allnurses.com, I am an aspiring nursing student who is currently working on my general education classes in hopes to take the pre-entrance exam next year.... After doing some lurking around the board, I was wonderi...

Thanks Arlene! I was hoping to come across someone from TRCC on here!! Congrats on getting into the program... I have A&P with Mrs. Wilson in the fall, that makes me feel more at ease knowing you liked her. I'm only in my second semester, but lik...
