  5. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    I bought the pharm cards on Amazon for $20. Right now I'm just trying to understand how all the A&P and micro info is connected to the pharmacology side. I also need to review all the medical...

    I figure I have 4 1/2 weeks left to house train him and then, depending on my schedule, he'll be limited to the newspaper in his crate. I plan to have a petsitter come by on the days that I have class...

  9. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    So you're going to wear the same scrubs twice duing the week? I guess that wouldn't be a problem as long as you didn't sweat too much that day. So I'll only buy 3 sets of scrubs and 2 clinical outfits...

  16. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    So now I need to find out why I have a hold on my account. I was trying to register for a PE class on the weekend since I know we don't have any classes on the weekend right? I shopped around online...
  17. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    My account says it has a "hold" on it so I'm guessing that the nursing dept has frozen my account since I can't register until after orientation. I went to Amazon.com to order my pharm flash cards. I...
  18. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    No wonder I couldn't register for a pe class in the fall. Now what's a ppd? I'm sure it will take a week to get my physical completed since they have to do a blood panel right? Just love taking it...

    Having worked as a teacher for 14 yrs, I'm not as anxious as you are to get back to work. And I don't know what you mean by "schooling all of you" because all of this medical terminology is foreign to...

  23. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    OMG!!! You mean even semester 1 will resemble the intensity of A&P II summer session. Well I might just have to settle for a few B's if that's the case. I ordered the pharmacology flash cards so I...
  24. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009
