2. Do you have a specific study method?

   lanitra replied to RNNoMore's topic in General Students

   I have always relied on flash cards, but found it difficult when studying for A&P. LauraLou, how do you use them for A&P when they're only helpful for "specific" information and not when you're needing to know the entire process? For exampl...

3. Mothers - Is nursing school realistic for me?

   lanitra replied to Natalieboo's topic in General Students

   Manna, Can you tell me how you managed to "juggle" raising the kids, homework, lab time, etc. WHILE working full time? I've thought about not enrolling the summer and fall b/c I'm having such a difficult time. I haven't found a successful way of ke...

4. Anatomy! Nursing School...do I stand a chance?

   lanitra replied to lanitra's topic in General Students

   WOW! I guess I thought that I was ready, but after reading all of the posts, I guess I'm not ready ENOUGH. I haven't responded to many of the posts b/c I was too busy reading and thinking about my priorities. When I first began this journey, all I ...

   lanitra posted a topic in General Students

   I'm in need of some encouragement : This is my second attempt in Anatomy I and I know that I'm only going to come out of it with a D. It's not that the work was so difficult, it's just that with my full-time job going away, I've been under some pe...

10. What to do when U know others are cheating...(in classes)

    lanitra replied to KBnursestudent's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that if people are given enough rope that they, usually, hang themselves. I know that you're mad b/c you study sooo hard, but just think, this is just the beginning. You're gonna encounter tons of people who will cheat....don't focus so muc...

11. Bathing a 7 y/o

    lanitra replied to Nurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, my gosh... I couldn't imagine NOT bathing my child (or myself) every single day. I don't care what's going on, there is no way that being dirty is unacceptable! Imagine if they don't get in the habit of daily bathing and they grow up to be men/...

    lanitra replied to lanitra's topic in CRNA

    Everyone, Thank you for such encouraging words. I was a bit down about the class, but since I wrote the email, I looked at it as being a wake-up call for me to quit whining, quit complaining and do what I have to do! The Lord promised me that he wo...

    lanitra replied to lanitra's topic in CRNA

    Amy, It's pretty sad that I needed you to tell me that...but I did! I knew that it would take some sacrifices, but I wanted to pick and choose what I was willing to sacrifice. Now, I see that it wasn't enough. Thank you!
