How about "Next, I'm going to see if your skin has any redness, swelling, or breakdown."? To me, that way seems the least rude, but it also isn't begging permission. It keeps the patient informed of the process of assessment without compromising you...

I'm going to start nursing school next Tuesday. I've been to orientation, a nursing school workshop, and a meet and greet so far. My concern is that while the administrators of my program have been present at every event, my teachers are not. The ...

I've had a lot of success with http://www.textbooks.com. They have comparable or better prices to many other textbook websites I've visited. Also, I'm not sure of the details, but if you purchase books at that site through your Bank of America acco...

I'll be 22 when I graduate.

I agree with the first poster. We come into contact with patients regularly, so it makes sense to get the vaccine. Also, many nursing students are in the age group recommended for getting it. Not to mention, if we do get the flu, that could be a l...

I'm curious as to what nursing specialties pre-nursing students are most interested in, especially those who haven't done any hospital or medical work at all. I haven't done any sort of anything related to the medical field, so I'm not sure if my in...

I found it much easier because I learn better by teaching myself in math. We used a program called MyMathLab that broke the problems down into steps and made it super easy. It was also nice NOT to have to sit through a math class. (I tend to fall ...

Well these are 3 specialties I've never even considered. gastroenterology dermatology radiology

That is a tough one. Since the only other levels of organisation are too small or too big for collagen fibers(like molecule or organism), I think your answer has to be one the ones listed. My best guess is cell level, because it's part of connective...

Count me in too! Anyone else have massive list projects describing microorganisms and their life cycles?

:hpygrp:Congratulations!

She's great!

I'd be careful about bringing the books the first day unless you know for sure it's worth buying. A lot of teachers are fine with older editions or other cheaper options to the textbook in the book store. Sometimes you can save literally hundreds o...

Thanks! And yea I do. How'd you know?

To those of you who have taken A&PII: What do you wish you could've had more time to learn, and what were the hardest to grasp concepts? I'm trying to get a little bit of a head start but don't want to spend time on something that isn't as import...

It sounds like I'm the weird one, but I thought that the nervous system was so much easier than bones or muscles. After you get the physiology of muscles, the physiology of nerves sort of just makes sense. And the anatomy is WAY less memorization.

I'm taking A&PII this spring also. My A&PI teacher said A&PII than A&PI will be easier for anyone who got an A or a B, and harder than A&PI for anyone who got a C in A&PI. I thought that was an interesting theory. We'll see ho...

I would add another class. This semester I took A&P 1, Human Development, Stasistics, and English 1 while working 30 hours a week and still pulled off all As, so it can definitely be done. But get ready, because A&P is definitely very time ...

:up:Congratulations!! Thank you for starting this thread. It was so interesting and helpful!

There is a science comprehension section on the NET, but some schools don't count it. Check with you school's advisors to see which sections are counted in your admission to the nursing program.
