  2. dissecting cats

    back2thebooks replied to tessa45's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know what you are saying about the cats not having a say in being speciments, but think about drugs....there is LOTS of animal testing in the pharmaceutical industry. That's also a huge part of...

  3. Hesi

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

    The TEAS is completely different than the HESI or NET. It's a college readiness test (Test of Essestial Academic Skills). Many community colleges use it for their Health Care Programs (obviously,...

  5. how to deal with a know-it-all?

    back2thebooks replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    How FRUSTRATING! I'm so sorry. What I do in situations like this (I have a brother-in-law who is a bit like this)---is say "Thanks, I got it," or "Thanks, but I don't think I need any help right...

  7. Eww white uniforms??

    back2thebooks replied to jla623's topic in General Students

    I'm 99% sure that we'll be sporting the lovely white scrubs and lab coats, as well. The only positive I could see is that I can use bleach to clean those suckers (oh, and I just learned about peroxide...

  8. Spring 2010 Hopefuls!

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

    I'm taking 2009 to complete my pre-reqs and co-reqs which weren't completed in my prior degree (2 pre-reqs required, 3 co-reqs for 5 total). I want to focus only on the nursing courses, so I'm getting...

  9. Help: Taking out stains on uniform?

    back2thebooks replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    Oh, I'll have to try that peroxide trick..makes sense. I asked about bleach before you added that part to your post (I could have sworn it wasn't in the original?). I usually have okay luck with...

  10. Help: Taking out stains on uniform?

    back2thebooks replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    Have you tried bleach? (Seems obvious, but I had to ask) What I do when I get blood stains on something is put it into cold water asap and then I wash in cool bleach water (with laundry soap). If...

  11. Nursing student, and two deaths this week (very long, sorry...)

    back2thebooks replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Nursing

    ((HUGS)) It sounds to me like you acted quickly and appropriately. I'm so sorry--I wish I knew what to say to you, but I don't. I'd definitely suggest prayer/pastoral care to get you through this...

  12. To the girl who was texting all through chemistry class....

    back2thebooks replied to polka-dot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, that's true---recently my husband and I went out to run an errand in his car and both he and I left our cell phones in my minivan Of course, we needed to make a call....we looked for a pay phone...

  13. What are the first Pre Reqs you take in the ADN program?

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

    Every program is different. My school technically has these as true pre-requisites (you can't apply until you are completely finished with these classes): College Algebra One semester of college...

  14. WE're OUtta the vagina!!

    back2thebooks replied to Jenny67's topic in General Students

    I'm not asking this in a sarcastic way...I'm really just curious---what part of the OB rotation is so bad? I'm sure there are a ton of different opinions, but I'm just wondering if you didn't/don't...

  15. To the girl who was texting all through chemistry class....

    back2thebooks replied to polka-dot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Boy, is that the truth! I actually HATE my cell phone (and talking on the phone in general), so I leave mine in the car when we are at home. Certain friends say, "Where were you? I tried to call...

  16. Dallas Nursing Institute

    back2thebooks replied to dustydawntx's topic in General Students

    I am also in Dallas/Fort Worth. I've never heard of the Dallas Nursing Institute. I'm not sure how far along you went with your previous nursing schooling, but have you thought about North Central...

  17. To the girl who was texting all through chemistry class....

    back2thebooks replied to polka-dot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only person I'm responsible for is me. If something bothers me, I must speak up/do something. If I am doing something that is bothering others, I would hope that someone would also speak up. We...

  18. To the girl who was texting all through chemistry class....

    back2thebooks replied to polka-dot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I simply don't trust the school to contact me if there is an emergency in my family. Too many people drop the ball on a daily basis. Twelve years ago I graduated from state university with over...

  19. Thinking of going back to school.

    back2thebooks replied to MJL278's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can receive student loans for which you defer payment while enrolled in school (and you can get subsidized loans--which I would recommend). I would suggest this for your situation. Also, you may...

    back2thebooks replied to tessa45's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm also a cat lover (animal lover in general), and I will try my hardest to remember that this is necessary for me. Hang in

    back2thebooks replied to tessa45's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And this is relevant to the OP's concern in what way? Just

  22. Moving to Texas is not a good deal for nurse

    back2thebooks replied to John123's topic in Texas Nursing

    seen frequently on the bumpers of vehicles here in texas: "i wasn't born in texas, but i got here as fast as i could!" if i was into bumper stickers, i'd have this on my mommy-ride (read:...

  24. fundal checks

    back2thebooks replied to short1978's topic in Ob/Gyn

    THANK YOU! This is exactly what happened to me....I ended up needing 2 separate transfusions and went into shock. Two and one half days after my c-section, I had to have one nurse on each side of me...

  25. Handling rumors

    back2thebooks replied to bnrn75's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I agree that ignoring it will make it go away...but it will only make it go away for you---the person will move on to their next "victim." If I were you, I would walk up to this person,...
