  4. Scared about A&P Labs

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

    "For me I implemented a strict bedtime at 8 for the boys. This gave me 2-3 hours a night to study without feeling bad for neglecting my kids." I so agree with this. My kids have always had a bedtime...

  7. To start nursing school - or start a family? Help!

    back2thebooks replied to jlauren's topic in General Nursing

    It kind of sounds like you have already made your decision and just don't know it. By that, I mean, it sounds like you are okay with going back to school as a woman in your mid to late 30's, but not...

  8. Any thoughts on Iguana, Urbane or Dickies Scrubs?

    back2thebooks replied to michaelarose's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My husband wears Cherokee scrubs. He's 6'1"ish and he needs a tall pant. I think their tops run a little big, IMO. I will say that they look great wash after

  9. scrubs and ironing

    back2thebooks replied to CT Pixie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Another trick to avoid the shine is to use a paper bag (the old type of grocery bags) over dark colors. My father was a Major in the Army and this is how my Mom took care of his fatigues and dress...

  11. NCTC ADN Program Spring 2009!

    back2thebooks replied to vanessafb1980's topic in Texas Nursing

    I do know that the A&P grades weigh heavily in the points total, but I personally don't think I would retake A&P if I got a B. You ultimately have to make that decision yourself, after...

    back2thebooks replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    First off, let me just say that I am sorry you were spoken to that way. Completely uncalled for. Your questions: If you see a child at a family gathering acting out and the parents do nothing, do...

  14. You cant be fashionable for nursing.

    back2thebooks replied to lovehospital's topic in General Nursing

  15. NCTC ADN Program Spring 2009!

    back2thebooks replied to vanessafb1980's topic in Texas Nursing

    You can visit their website at www.nctc.edu It's a points system. They don't utilize the NET--they use the HESI entrance exam. I know that pre-reqs vary by school, but one thing that sets NCTC apart...

    back2thebooks replied to Neveranurseagain's topic in General Nursing

  17. Got at C+ in A&PI.... what would YOU do?

    back2thebooks replied to babyblue113's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What amount of weight does your A&P grade have? I.e. Is it a large part of your points system (assuming that is what entrance into the nursing program is based upon)? I know for my school, the...

  18. Probably a dumb question: "I have to pee even though I have a catheter in!"

    back2thebooks replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    Have you ever had a catheter in --yourself? It feels, to me at least, like a constant urge to pee. I also noticed that when I was accidentally sitting on the tubing it became REALLY

  19. How do you make a good impression when applying for a job in nursing??

    back2thebooks replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    I could be wrong, but I remember something about it being unlawful to not allow someone to fill out/turn in an application? I agree with PP---I would call and speak to Director of HR at least---I have...

    back2thebooks replied to MrsIndependent's topic in General Nursing

    Time to take a step back, take a deep breath and count your blessings. Only a wife? Only a Mother? Do you know how many women would die to be in your shoes? I'm saying this lovingly, btw. $15K in...
