  1. A&P1 study group

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

    Mine starts 1/20. I would be up for participating in an online study group, too, although I don't know if anyone else is using my book (by Martini)...

  2. Do friends outside of nursing school give you a hard time?

    back2thebooks replied to hunnybaby24's topic in General Students

    The most negativity I have had was when I told a few people of my plans to go back to school for nursing. About 4-5 people said "Wow....nurses don't ever get time off" or "Nursing is A LOT of work."...

  3. 2015 is it official? YES

    back2thebooks replied to HieuNgu1155's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Is there currently a 'shortage' of CRNAs? If so, it would seem that this new requirement may contribute to that shortage even greater---with it being more difficult for so many (like me) to attain...

  4. Should the illness of an "important person" be revealed?

    back2thebooks replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    Virgo, do you know what criteria needs to be met in order to define someone as a public figure? It seems like it would be difficult to define someone like this because the definition of 'public...

  5. Should the illness of an "important person" be revealed?

    back2thebooks replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    There is little privacy for people like Mr. Jobs. I personally believe it is his business, not the shareholders', and however he sees fit to handle it should be respected (within ethical and moral...

  8. Why is it top secret? ;) (grades)

    back2thebooks replied to Miss_Piggy.RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I consider my grades to be private, whether I get 100% or 60%. I don't see any good that can come out of sharing grades with others. Why bother contributing to the likely drama? KWIM? My motto is...

  9. Any other ADNs wishing they had done BSN??

    back2thebooks replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    I am of the same thought process as tero80. I have a family to care for now. I already have a Bachelor of Science, obtained in '97. For me, the ADN was a no brainer. All I needed to complete before...

  10. Is it worth $100

    back2thebooks replied to sproeber89's topic in General Students

    I think they are worth it. For me, at least--I'm a visual learner--I sometimes miss things which are said aloud. So, to be able to listen to and rewrite notes is helpful. I didn't spend $100 on mine,...

  11. Advice Please: severe hit in confidence department

    back2thebooks replied to K os's topic in General Students

    It stinks to mess up. All you can do is take it as an opportunity to work hard and improve. Even if you mess up and it's made known, listen to the criticism with dignity and don't become...

  12. Annoyed with some instructors already!!

    back2thebooks replied to aerorunner80's topic in General Students

    To me, a fundamental part of advocating for yourself is making good decisions that will be to your benefit. I personally believe that many of these instructors will target you, make life harder for...

  13. Personality Test for Specialty

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

    That was really cool. It confirms what I knew....I don't want to do family practice/peds/psych...those started at something like #35 on my list! My top 3 were: 1. Pathology 2. Thoracic Surgery 3....

  14. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    back2thebooks replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    O/T from OP, but wanted to say I use Pureology. You can get it at Beauty Brands much cheaper. I have also found the shampoo/conditioner combo on Amazon for less than $60--for the Nano

  15. NCTC Rooms/apartments for rent

    back2thebooks replied to ptrdsmn's topic in Texas Nursing

    Good luck to you! I was paying close to $1000 for a 2 bedroom almost 10 years ago....I can't imagine what they are going for these

  16. New TV Commercial...

    back2thebooks replied to RutterMama's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I wouldn't exactly count on the media to instill values in my children. I personally believe that abstinence is more of a moral/value issue than anything else. I was kind of kidding when I...

  17. New TV Commercial...

    back2thebooks replied to RutterMama's topic in General Students

    I'd rather see commercials for condoms, which help protect against STDs....or how's this one....abstinence! I know, I know....the abstinence one will never happen, but

  18. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    back2thebooks replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    I don't know, for some reason, Corvettes scream "man in mid-life crisis" to me---kind of like I will always associate Caddy's with the elderly population---a stigma stuck in my

  19. NCTC Rooms/apartments for rent

    back2thebooks replied to ptrdsmn's topic in Texas Nursing

    Patrick, I lived in apartments in the Lewisville area for many years before finally building a house in Corinth (although I don't live in Corinth now). Unfortunately, even 10 years ago, my rent was...

  20. I'm going crazy...I WANT classes to start

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

    I wish my teacher would post the syllabus! I've been checking frequently. Well, maybe I don't want him to....it may add to the

  21. any non traditional students here?

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

    I'm also a non-traditional student. I'm 33 and have been a SAHM to my two boys for the last 4 years. I do have a prior Bachelor's Degree, which I completed in '97, which has really sped up the...

    back2thebooks replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    My husband has one as his company car. I'm generally a Toyota/Honda person, but this little car is pretty nice. They do need to make a few improvements, but it IS the first year that they are out. The...

  24. Which Medical Dictionary?

    back2thebooks replied to SAHMStudent's topic in General Students

    I picked up a Stedman's Medical Dictionary for Health Professions and Nursing at Half Price Books for $9---I will say that there are hardly any illustrations or photos in it (I have the 2005 Edition)....

  25. Nursing student taking drugs

    back2thebooks replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    Are you aware that some surgeries can last in excess of 20 hours in and of themselves? 12 hour shifts are not a reality for many people in the healthcare
