  5. anyone NOT buy their textbooks?

    I agree with a PP's suggestion of previous editions. I got one for seven dollars! This is my third degree and with the exception of required assignments, I have never used a textbook in college! Just...

    I sent you a message with the school name. Maybe I'll see you there next
  7. Advice on prerequisite courses

    Don't know if you are willing or able to move, but my school allows you to earn admission through your grades in the four prerequisites that are required. Caveat is that the classes must be taken at...
  8. I want to call shenanigans!

    I worked with a guy that freaked out when he saw bananas. He said he was highly allergic. I had a coworker (not in a health care setting, FWIW) that chased him down the hall waving a banana at him....
  9. My classes were combined A&P classes so I am basing my suggestion on assumptions not experience FWIW. I suggest taking micro with anatomy. Anatomy is a lot of rote memorization. Physiology and...

  13. pet peeves when nursing students arrive

    OMG!!! I have just gone from nervous to petrified!:chair: I've never been one to not ask questions, but what if I ask too many? Then I'm in your way. I want to see and/or do everything I can, but I...
  14. Nurses as primary breadwinners?

    I think the OP is commenting more so on the fact that society seems to have permanently abdicated the traditional role of "provider" from men without lessening traditional "nuturer/homemaker" role of...
  15. The same old battle - work vs school! Ughh..

    Hmmm.....that is so interesting to me because the Dean of the ADN program I will be starting in NINETEEN DAYS:yeah:said that when I am applying for jobs (yes, I asked about and am thinking that far...
  16. Micro - I'm just sayin'

    I hate this class. I hate it with an enduring passion. I understand why I have to take it, but that doesn't mean I have to like it! Actually, it's not the class that I hate, it's the lab. The material...
  17. Micro - I'm just sayin'

    Well, it's over. Truth be told, it did kind of get better. When we moved on to diseases, it was endurable (if that's a word:lol2:) . Lab NEVER GOT BETTER. I hated the first day of lab and I hated the...

  22. Which job should I take?

    Let me second...well, third... the comment that WAH with a little one is not what it seems. My son is three and even at that age it's not any better. Unless I leave him in front of the TV with a...
  23. Halitosis invasion

    I have recently begun having bouts with cryptic tonsils. When I have tonsil stones, I have the WORST garbage mouth. It's so bad that I speak a little as possible. Do you ever spit out little...
  24. This is SO true! I had to happen to me (but not for nursing). I was at a recruiting event and the recruiter was standing behind a table holding her leather portfolio. We chatted for a minute... "you...
