  1. Any nurses with plantar fasciitis?

    RedSox33RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had recently taken up running again, for about a month, when I came up lame suddenly one morning. After a week of it and chomping at the bit because I couldn't run, I saw the doc and was dx'd with...

  2. Any nurses with plantar fasciitis?

    RedSox33RN replied to RedSox33RN's topic in General Nursing

    Where do you guys get the Birkenstocks? I thought this was getting better, but after a horrible day Friday (could barely walk, even with 800mg of ibuprofen every 8 hours, ice, etc.) it was a little...

  3. Medication for Migraines

    RedSox33RN replied to nurseangel78's topic in General Nursing

    Geez, I can't tell you how many times I've heard THAT! Apparently it's not possible for a low blood sugar to trigger a migraine either, even if you get down into the 40's, then rebound into the...

  4. Medication for Migraines

    RedSox33RN replied to nurseangel78's topic in General Nursing

    I've had migraines since I was a toddler, and gone through many different treatments, and preventatives. Currently I'm on no preventatives due to my Type 1 diabetes. All beta-blockers lowered my...

  5. New here, question about letters of recommendation for applications to nsg school

    RedSox33RN replied to Sarah Bellum's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had to have several recommendations also, and only had one nurse in the bunch. I think they are mostly looking for refs regarding your character, work ethic and commitment to things. I think they...

  6. The Spring '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club: A&P 2

    RedSox33RN replied to SCmomof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is it - my final post. I got my grades in the mail today. I got a 4.0!! After all that I went through at the beginning, and failing the first exam, I pulled some sort of rabbit out of my hat....

  7. Plans if not accepted into nursing school

    RedSox33RN replied to Doug85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a list of things I was going to do if not accepted last year. 1) I got an application for a Surgical Tech program. I knew this REALLY wasn't what I wanted, but I figured it was a step toward...

    Great job, Traci!!

  9. 1 month in and students already quitting

    RedSox33RN replied to luvmypatients's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We probably lost 10 out of 70 who started our A&P II class. I think a lot more failed (below the required 80% overall), so cannot start or continue on, if they are already in, the nursing...

  10. The Spring '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club: A&P 2

    RedSox33RN replied to SCmomof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, YAY for my professor posting our final exam scores. :) I passed that with an 84%, so I *know* I passed the course with an 80% or better. I don't even care to figure out what my final grade is -...

  11. The Spring '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club: A&P 2

    RedSox33RN replied to SCmomof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I *finally* got my 4th exam grade - a 94!! Woohoo! So my average, before the final exam, was a 95.5. We have yet to get the final exam grades back yet, but it *should* be tomorrow (should,...

  12. The Spring '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club: A&P 2

    RedSox33RN replied to SCmomof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took my final yesterday, but am still so PO'd at our professor. She STILL has not posted our exam #4 results on Blackboard yet, even though she "promised" to do it Wednesday (we took it Monday), so...

  13. The Spring '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club: A&P 2

    RedSox33RN replied to SCmomof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm so sick of studying this stuff!!! Friday is the final, and I've all but given up on studying the endocrine stuff. If I didn't know it well enough then to pass, no way I can learn, or re-learn, it...

  14. The Spring '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club: A&P 2

    RedSox33RN replied to SCmomof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on the A!! We *finally* took our 4th exam on Monday - and while we don't have the results from that yet, she did post a completed 4th exam that we could use to study for the final from. Our...

    RedSox33RN replied to SCmomof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I love those take-home tests!! I know that the Biostats instructor does that for all of

  16. The Spring '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club: A&P 2

    RedSox33RN replied to SCmomof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We're taking our Digestive/Urinary exam (exam #4) on Monday, then the cumulative final on Friday. NEXT Friday - and them I'm done. As it stands now (you may remember that we get one exam grade of the...

  17. Just Found Out I Failed

    RedSox33RN replied to Triple A's's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the others saying NOT to quit. I'm a nursing student, and taking A&P 2 this semester. I failed the first exam with a 69 (80 is passing). I have since gotten an 85 and just...

  18. Is there a specific test needed for admission into Nursing School?

    RedSox33RN replied to girlynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All the schools I applied to needed NLN scores. They all varied with what exactly they required or looked for in terms of scores - some were much more stringent than others, but they all wanted to...

  19. Heavily Tättooed: Can I get into nursing???

    RedSox33RN replied to YukonDave's topic in General Nursing

    Athletes wear it - to either keep warm and dry or cool and dry. Most high-end sporting goods stores sell it, or you can go here: http://www.underarmour.com/ua2/ua/default.asp It's pricey, but lasts...

  20. Clinical Question

    RedSox33RN replied to dawnivany's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have 4 kids (older though, pretty much self-sufficient, but they don't drive yet), and am going through a divorce. Between those things and nursing school, I really have NO time for myself. But I...

  21. Heavily Tättooed: Can I get into nursing???

    RedSox33RN replied to YukonDave's topic in General Nursing

    To the poster that has a classmate/colleague that gets too hot wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, I say tell him/her to get some UnderArmour. I swear by the stuff. I don't have any ink, but wear a...

  22. Need advice for non-nursing courses please

    RedSox33RN replied to nurse34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It takes a lot more commitment on your part to take online courses, but I took A&P1 online, and it was much easier for me. I get aggravated at professors falling behind the syllabus (like my...

  23. Anyone go to med school after nursing school

    RedSox33RN replied to avery's topic in General Nursing

    My ex-MIL went to nursing school with a student who got a full scholarship to Harvard. She deferred, going to nursing school beforehand, because her mother was a nurse in their native South Africa,...

  24. The Spring '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club: A&P 2

    RedSox33RN replied to SCmomof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Great job, Maryrose!! I have my 3rd exam Monday, on Lymphatic and Respiratory. Lymphatic is kicking my behind! I've listened to the lectures over and over, but still get so confused with the...

  25. Immunizations! Argh!

    RedSox33RN replied to Luciole's topic in General Students

    I did the titer thing with my nursing school physical also. I'm glad I did, because even after 4 babies (having blood drawn each time for titers and immunities), I came back with a negative titer for...
