  1. Any advice for studying cadavers in anatomy class?

    Annieh1315 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am having trouble studying the cadavers and the photos of them for my anatomy class. I keep feeling very nauseated and imagining the prosection/skinning. It is making it hard for me to study what I...

  2. pre-nursing students with a Bachelors having trouble with getting loans?

    Annieh1315 replied to CorazonDeOro's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    if graduate loans will go through - here's a thought: look for an msn program that accepts non-nursing ba students. i know ohio state has one, so maybe your local university does too. once you get...

  3. Any advice for studying cadavers in anatomy class?

    Annieh1315 replied to Annieh1315's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You bring up a good point - with the cadavers, we don't get to do the dissection. I think there is a real learning opportunity in doing that yourself. We just see the results after someone else has...

  4. Anybody else feeling bad??

    Annieh1315 replied to kaiteabee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My husband used to get up at 4am to do his homework before work officially started and then went to school in the evenings. We barely saw him. I was home all day and night with two babies, but...

    Annieh1315 replied to Annieh1315's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Exactly, it's the preservative. The visual isn't exactly helpful when trying not to upchuck the bagel you crammed down during your 10 minute break either. We got a new recruit last week - it's more...

  6. Anybody else feeling bad??

    Annieh1315 replied to kaiteabee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I work full time at a desk job and go to school (nursing pre-req's) evenings and weekends for now. When my kids were really little, I couldn't afford to work because daycare was so expensive. I...

  7. Anybody else feeling bad??

    Annieh1315 replied to kaiteabee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in the same situation. I have re-prioritized my time. I spend much less time cleaning my house and with friends that aren't as important. I dont' always answer the phone or call a friend back...

  8. pre-nursing students with a Bachelors having trouble with getting loans?

    Annieh1315 replied to CorazonDeOro's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could research hospitals that offer tuition reimbursement and try to find a position in the hospital - even in non-clinical - that would pay your tuition. Our area is hit pretty hard with the...

  9. Any advice for studying cadavers in anatomy class?

    Annieh1315 replied to Annieh1315's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How did your "rat" class go? Maybe I am not familiar enough with rats, but I would think they would be awfully small to learn from - especially in the hands and feet. That's hard enough on a human....

  10. Any advice for studying cadavers in anatomy class?

    Annieh1315 replied to Annieh1315's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Me too! We had a "snow day" on Weds. I should have spent the day studying, but spent most of it watching NCIS re-runs on my DVR. I love those days when you never change out of your

  11. Any advice for studying cadavers in anatomy class?

    Annieh1315 replied to Annieh1315's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Please update us on how it goes! I have my lab again tomorrow - and a lab practical exam. I will come prepared with vick's and a new appreciation for having cadavers and hopefully a full knowledge...

  12. Any advice for studying cadavers in anatomy class?

    Annieh1315 replied to Annieh1315's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you guys for making me laugh this week! It has definitely changed my perspective. I will go in thinking of cats, pigs and rats (oh my!) instead of my nauseated tummy! The elusive promises of...

  13. Any advice for studying cadavers in anatomy class?

    Annieh1315 replied to Annieh1315's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ours range from 3 to 4 years deceased. Maybe that's why they are so "icky"? So, if I try to stand really close to one of the guys, that will help with the smell? Or maybe that would send the wrong...

  14. Any advice for studying cadavers in anatomy class?

    Annieh1315 replied to Annieh1315's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for your advice! Our school teaches a full quarter of anatomy and then does a full quarter of physiology. Maybe because of that division, they can do the cadavers? I don't know? I have heard...

  17. Liability Insurance for Curriculum Development

    Annieh1315 replied to No Surrender's topic in General Nursing

    Do you work directly with your carrier or through a broker? If the former, I would suggest attaining a broker that specializes in medical liabilities and E&O coverage. Depending on where you...

  18. Are we allowed to bring calculator to the NET EXAM

    Annieh1315 replied to loloterp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just like the other posters - no, you aren't. But, they give you scrap paper. I had it mostly filled up! I have always used a calculator or excel for the type of math on the NET, so I really had to...

  19. need Advice from Resume Wiz

    Annieh1315 replied to maesam1's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the previous poster. If you worked for the same company and in the same role, there is no need to indicate change in full time status on a resume. Keep in mind that your resume is a...

  20. I quit my job and am seriously considering quitting nursing

    Annieh1315 replied to sandlewood_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    We all have our moments and need to vent - that's what this site is for! Based on what I have read from your post, it sounds like you have kept a bad job for too long. No job should prevent you from...

  21. Flu Shot and TB test taken 7 days apart okay?

    Annieh1315 posted a topic in General Students

    I had a flu shot yesterday (11/13) for work and am scheduled to take a TB test on 11/20 as part of my pre-nursing physical. Will the flu shot alter the result of the TB test? I noticed a phrase on the...

  22. Things that make me HATE nursing.

    Annieh1315 replied to KalipsoRed's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your feedback. It is never fair to apply generalizations to an individual or make generalizations about a population based on an individual - and so to prevent doing that, I would like...

  23. Things that make me HATE nursing.

    Annieh1315 replied to KalipsoRed's topic in General Nursing

    I'll begin by saying that I am not a nurse and can't completely empathize. I would like to address two themes, though. One - I find it very dissapointing that the general consensus seems to be...

  24. Flu Shot and TB test taken 7 days apart okay?

    Annieh1315 replied to Annieh1315's topic in General Students

    That makes sense. I will confirm with the nurse then when she gives me the test. Thank

  25. I'm kind of sad I need advice. thank you

    Annieh1315 replied to able2009's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have been in shoes similar to yours. At age 21 my new husband and I had two infants and neither of us had a degree. He worked for $10/hr and went to acctg school at night. When he graduated, it...
