    getting thru clinicals without throwing up

    I don't normally have a problem with poop and vomit, whatever the source. The worst thing I ever smelled was the hazmat bin for A&P lab. That did make me gag a little.+ The Vicks idea is a good...

    A & P 1 -- Fall 2010

    We did a cat for musculature, a sheep's brain for CNS and a cow eye for special senses. The smell was occasionally discomforting but no real problems. There were several in the class who didn't want...

    Facial Hair

    lol, so funny. I had a goatee until recently and I shaved it off for that very reason: now days it grows out about 80% white. As far as the OP goes, a neatly trimmed goatee has become a very...

    Nursing as a Second Career

    I did too. I was in material handling aftermarket parts and service calling on Ford and Chrysler for ten years before the economy tanked and I got laid off. So I decided to go back to school. I got...

    Feeling Trapped

    That's what you get for being smart! But seriously, you have plenty of time (unlike some of us). You can certainly afford a break. Really good work though! I am tremendously

    Nursing as a Second Career

    Tell me your GPA. Just wanna compare

    Still 4.0 but only 28 credits in, I expect it to diminish once I get into clinicals. I guess the wonky idea for me has been to keep my lecture/lab GPA high so that it can be offset by clinical and...
