hey yall!!! i'm sure this question has already been asked but i couldnt pinpoint axectly what i needed. i have a list of 40 drugs that i have to memorize and everything about them in 2 weeks. im not really sure how to even start the process. i was going to split them up in classifications but that is all i got so far. do you guys think i should go buy the mosbys drug flash cards or should i make them on notecards myself? how did you guys do it?? thanks a seriously stressed student summer

im just saying take out subsidized first (government pays your interest while you in school) then unsubsidized (you have to pay interest while in school) then parent plus loans. All these loans will be the LOWEST interest rate and and it is FIXED unlike private loans. Private loans are largely discouraged. You can do searches on the internet for better explanation. just stay with the government funding and you till be ok!

we have to wear white button down collared shirt with high rise all white pants with a tapered leg and white leather shoes. its absolutely the worst uniform you can imagine! why do they want to embarrass us like this? i look like a marshmallow!

when i first told everyone i wanted to be a nurse a year and a half ago, i couldnt even tell you how many people laughed at me! i was always the one to get grossed out the first, couldnt watch surgery on tv and even couldnt handle watching horror movies bc of the gore. i had the most sensitive stomach to EVERYTHING! So I got a job at a tech before nursing school and i was petrified at first, but i found out, when its your own patient and they are your responsibility, its weird.. its like i dont get grossed out anymore. its just my job. i dont think of it as gross stuff... but i do have to second the dentures thing.. i gotta turn my head for that!

half.com and amazon is what i use! actually i just spend 200 bucks the other day for some of my nursing books. I saved a lot!

i know how you feel. My parents are middle class too and dont make hardly any money and we dont qualify for grants either, but i did end up taking out subsidized, unsubizided and parent plus loans. I would stay away from private loans as much as possible. Private loan companies have the ability to change the interest rate as much as they want when its time for you to start paying them off. Which means it might be 8.00% when you first start taking them out, but when you start paying on them, they can jack up the price to 30.00% if they want. Parent plus loans and the stafford loans are a FIXED rate and they wont screw you over

mine hurt so bad!! i couldnt raise my arm for 3 days and it was still a little sore after that. Im so glad i never have to do it again!! but then again, those hep b shots burn bad too

i did take micro, physics, a&p 2 in one semester and ended up dropping micro. But then again my teacher was dreadful when i took micro and i ended retaking it with a diff teacher and made an a. I really wouldnt take micro with a & p bc you want to focus and read as much as you can in a & p as possible and when you take micro, you want to devote yourself solely to that class.

i emailed the teacher and asked her which ones were required, but it seems as if she is one of those teachers they said "every one is required.".. so she wasnt much help

really?? oh gosh i guess i should be lucky..

gotta vent really quick guys but i got a book list for 1 of my classes (into to prof nursing) and it called for 10 books! just for one class! I went to half.com and found all of them and it equaled up to be $250 for just one class! i thought this was ridiculous. Did you guys have to shell out so much for just this class? Summer
