  1. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    Got my grade back earlier this week. B-. Not horrible, not amazing. Means I really whooped ass in the final to get that grade. Hopefully I'll do better next quarter (even with a harder
  2. So I am currently a pre-nursing student and I just sent in my volunteer application to hopefully volunteer at Doernbecher's NICU. I have availability all over the place and am really, REALLY hoping...
  3. Request advice from Nursing Managers

    You mentioned you were applying for part-time work. From what I've heard, most hospitals will not take a brand-new grad nurse just part time. Most require that you be full-time at the beginning...
  4. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    One of my friends tried to commit suicide over the weekend, so it's been rough. Got a C on a Psych test, may have bombed a chemistry exam...my finals are next week because I'm on the quarter system....
  5. How do I get over this?

    Okay...so this is kind of a "sob story". Yes, I'm a pre-nursing student taking 20CR (six classes). I've posted this in the student forum, but I figured you guys would have good advice as well. I...
  6. Okay...so this is kind of a "sob story". Yes, I'm a pre-nursing student taking 20CR (six classes). I found out one of my friends tried to commit suicide a few days ago by OD and would have succeeded...
  7. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    Ugh. Just bombed (literally) my bones practical. 61%. I'm devastated. I need near-perfect grades in the last three exams to get a B in this class. ;;
  8. What did you do when you got rejected?

    A&P are my weakest grades - both B- in this case. I've got a B+ and three As in the rest of my classes. I'm hoping to rock the last exam and the final in order to pull them up. =/ I'm
  9. What did you do when you got rejected?

    No, I know - unfortunately, my FA is running out very, very soon so I have to squeeze everything in because there's no way in heck I'd be able to pay for any of it out of
  10. What did you do when you got rejected?

    While it may not be the same issue, I /totally/ agree with you. My college only looks at pre-req grades...which is nice initially, but not when I'm taking 20 CR and have to due to financial aid...
  11. I was going to comment on this, too - we have a cadaver lab at my CC and we're not allowed to take pictures of the cadavers because of the risk of abusing them and losing our
  12. It really depends on the school, to be
  13. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    What school is this? I go to a community college and we not only have a cadaver lab but have three cycles of A&P going constantly, so I don't think this is a "community college"
  14. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    Yeah, I've heard that we're like the only "junior college" with cadavers in our area - I've also heard that they're hard to get. Ours are bodies donated to science and are given to us from OHSU. We're...
  15. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    Does anyone else have cadavers? We just went into our cadaver lab today and started
  16. Volunteering at Doernbecher's?

    I'll definitely look at that! Thanks very much.
  17. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    We (presumably, since I missed class) started muscles today. Maybe skeleton-stuff. I'm not sure. I actually have had a rough 7 weeks...and just now (after reading some books)...I feel a lot more...
  18. Volunteering at Doernbecher's?

    Out of curiosity, what nursing program are you in? Clark, PCC,
  19. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    I'm so happy right now - just found out that there's a hospital near me that allows volunteers in their NICU/PICU! I'm filling out an application right
  20. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    Eh. I have probably a low C+ right now...I'm not sure; I don't have my "exact" score for my second exam yet. I got an 82/83 on the first, 84 on the first lab practical...76 so far on the second...
  21. I'm not a nurse yet, but I can kind of see where the OP is coming from. Eventually, in some jobs, the negatives outweigh the positives and you just want to GTF away from wherever you are. Sometimes...
  22. What to do about pay?

    I think you should re-read this to see that the OP has been a nurse for 8
  23. I feel stupid

    Get more sleep. It's /essential/. I can tell that's something that's throwing you off. See if you can change shifts, anything - you need to try to get 8 hours of sleep a night. That will help...
  24. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    Lucky! All our lab practicals are from memory - no
  25. Why do you want to be a nurse?

    Please no flaming to this, okay? I was 18 at the time (I'm a whole year older now). I wanted to be a nurse because I wanted to work with babies - particularly NICU or PICU, (or peds onco) and because...
