  1. A&P II Summer 09

    back2thebooks replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm also taking A&P II during the summer. Mine is a 4 week session and begins in July. It will be intense! I also got an A in A&P I! Congrats on

  2. DFW area, Is this a fair pay for a RN with 4.5 yrs experience?

    back2thebooks replied to RNRebecca83's topic in Texas Nursing

    I second that. I've been in Texas since '97 with a 2 year break living in Phoenix. I personally feel like the heat in Phoenix was WAY more tolerable. To me, 110 in Phoenix feels like 95 in Texas. I...

  3. ? for those who've taken A&P1

    back2thebooks replied to ccjus123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've found that every instructor does things differently. I am just finishing up A&P I right now. I have worked my heiney off (hence the infrequent posts here) and I have a 102% in the class...

  4. What's your long term goal?

    back2thebooks replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My long term goal at this point is to be a CRNA. I have a prior BS, and am working on my ADN as I speak. After graduation, I'll hopefully be able to secure a position in the ICU (required for CRNA...

  5. What do you think about a six week A&P class???

    back2thebooks replied to futureflrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it really depends on you. At my school, A&P II is almost strictly Physiology--whereas A&P I incorporates more Anatomy than Physiology (although it's a blend of the two). I'm taking...

  6. " Evening students do better on exams then day students" ?

    back2thebooks replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    My school's nursing classes are only offered during the daytime hours. I will say though, with pre-reqs, anyway--I have noticed that the age of people in evening classes tends to be older on average....

  7. A&P1 study group

    back2thebooks replied to ANEWME's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOL. I used to take my oldest son to speech at a shared clinic (they also had physical therapy there)----he wasn't too fond of the skeleton he had to walk past every time he had to go potty. I found...

  8. A&P1 study group

    back2thebooks replied to ANEWME's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So far I have 100% in A&P I (I just took a test last week that may change that, though!) I like this company's charts, and they also have a skeleton called 'Mr Thrifty' for $59....

  9. A&P1 study group

    back2thebooks replied to ANEWME's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    FINALLY got my practicum score and am really happy with it. I just hope that I did near as well on the lecture exam this past week...still waiting to hear. I am really trying to pull an A out of...

  10. i'm so tired of people who look down on nurses

    back2thebooks replied to lonestar88's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry your sister has not been respectful towards you. Personally, I don't really care what people think of my career choice. If someone says something rude, I make it a point to lay down some...

  11. A&P1 study group

    back2thebooks replied to ANEWME's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good job to everyone who has done so well on their practicums/quizes/tests. I am dying to know how I did earlier this week. Waiting a week for my score seems like

  12. "Is it ok if the student stays in the room?" <-- ARRG

    back2thebooks replied to Alternator81's topic in General Students

    I agree with many of the above posters...try not to take it personally---every nurse was once a student and if you have ever been a patient, you can understand where needing the comfort level comes...

  13. A&P1 study group

    back2thebooks replied to ANEWME's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, morningdew, that's AWESOME! I had my first lab practicum last night which covered histology among other things....I *think* I did okay...we'll see. My first A&P lecture test is in one...

  14. tips for quality study?

    back2thebooks replied to retread71's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    White noise machine (or white noise mp3s on your iPod), eaaaarrrrrrllllllly mornings (think 5 a.m.) and plenty of vitamin B (and a well rounded diet, obviously) help me. Also, make sure you take a 10...

  15. Please Rate My PreReq's Workload...

    back2thebooks replied to shasta12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi. Also a D/FW person here, although I am going to NCTC. The only pre-reqs I needed were A&P I and II, but I decided to take Dev Psych and Microbiology now instead of while in the NS program....

  16. Hesi Exam for RN entrance exam

    back2thebooks replied to loulou70's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good job!!!! Thanks for the info. I will (hopefully) take the HESI at the end of this year. I've got a study book, and I have already begun looking through it. Congrats

  17. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    back2thebooks replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    :lol2: I know it's not really funny---but the way you phrased this made me

  18. A&P1 study group

    back2thebooks replied to ANEWME's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got it, too. Someone also recommended the Get Ready for A&P book--got that, too (then learned that an e-version of it came with my book..ugh!). I LOVE my textbooks online tools. I've been...

  19. A&P 1 - Spring 2009

    back2thebooks replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Labchic, like Sand Dollar said--you never know until you get your scores. It's so hard taking that first test---it's just as much about learning how the instructor tests/grades as it is about...

  20. Need Sleep

    back2thebooks replied to MermiesGreatGig's topic in General Students

    I buy mine from Kirkman. http://www.kirkmanlabs.com/ViewProductDetails@Product_ID@205@[email protected] Their supplements are pure and hypoallergenic (no fillers, etc.). I'm pretty picky with...

  21. Need Sleep

    back2thebooks replied to MermiesGreatGig's topic in General Students

    There is something called 'good sleep hygiene.' Google it and you will get some good tips. No t.v. or computer for something like 2 hours prior to bedtime, only have t.v. and computer in a room...

  22. You know what I don't understand?

    back2thebooks replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am LOVING this class. A lot of info---sure, but for me, I have such a desire to learn more that it just keeps getting better and better. I'm kind of a science nerd. I love to have my mind...

  23. Extremely frustrated @ clinicals!

    back2thebooks replied to miss_pitty_pat's topic in General Students

    I've experienced people like this in my previous career. I always feel a bit sorry for people who are so rude as to ignore/not use any manners/bump shoulders, etc. They must either be having a...

  24. What the heck do these people think?

    back2thebooks replied to imn2nursin's topic in General Students

    I can tell you that not all degrees are equal---even within the sciences. While my prior degree earned 12 years ago (Bachelor of Science) did require a lot of work....I got by with little to no...

  25. Anyone with kids?

    back2thebooks replied to Jessstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am really surprised that you can sleep until 9:30 a.m. with children! Most children are early birds by nature; mine are no exception. My first child (4 yr old) is up at 6:00 a.m. (and as a baby it...
