2. homeostasis is functionally wrong??

   httamli replied to httamli's topic in General Students

   Oh, trust me, you do not! This is about as opposite as it comes with his teaching style!!! He lectures on our textbook, assigns readings from it, then uses a different, much higher level text to write our tests-very difficult! So much so that ever...

3. homeostasis is functionally wrong??

   httamli replied to httamli's topic in General Students

   I honestly am not sure what direction he wants us to take-this is so far off what he normally teaches, discusses, etc.! I'm leaning towards our curent environment having such a strong effect on our bodies with the onslaught of carcinogens, foreign c...

4. homeostasis is functionally wrong??

   httamli posted a topic in General Students

   Seriously, this is an essay question from my A&P class! What is functionally wrong with the idea that homeostasis maintains the constancy of the internal environment? How constant is the internal environment? Is constancy important, or is there...

6. can infants drink water?

   httamli replied to ACNP 2B S1S2RRR's topic in Student Assist

   I am not a nurse-yet :), but I have a 4 year old and a 1 year old. My pedi advised to offer a sippy cup when they are introduced to cereal (with a spoon-NOT in a bottle!). Her explanation was that 1. getting them used to drinking from cup, not brea...

7. job expenses to expect?

   httamli replied to httamli's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks to all who responded! I am still finishing pre-reqs right now. Teaching, I prob. spent AT LEAST $200/month on classroom items alone, not counting dry cleaning, etc. That was just bulletin boards, books, supplies, snacks, materials for lesso...

8. job expenses to expect?

   httamli posted a topic in General Nursing

   I am just starting my second career journey into nursing. I was an elementary school teacher for 11 years before I decided I needed to pursue nursing. I also had a lot of continuing job related expenses that really added up-every single year. What ...

9. How will I juggle school and family - advice?

   httamli replied to Nurse2bESK's topic in General Students

   I can't stand the thought of being away from my kiddos and family that many hours (with studying!), but I keep telling myself the payoff in the longrun will be worth it. Though I'm not sure my heart is believing it right now! I'm only taking one cl...

10. How will I juggle school and family - advice?

    httamli replied to Nurse2bESK's topic in General Students

    I needed to read this also. My hubby has a very demanding career and he's all but refused to do housework when I was working full time before. (Now I'm a SAHM to a 4 and 1 year old, waiting to get into NS). So this will basically all be on me, but ...

    I'm actually doing A&P1 online now and 2 in the fall. We meet 2 times a semester for the dissection part of labs, the rest we do through aprevealed.com. That's an incredible program. I think its probably harder online than in person,but its eas...

12. ugh! bone overload!!!

    httamli replied to httamli's topic in Pre-Nursing

    And what makes this either easier or more challenging is that its all online! I've never handled a bone (though I could go into the lab) and the practical is images on a computer test! I have the websites for the sources of the images, but how do I...

13. ugh! bone overload!!!

    httamli posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I know this is just the beginning, but sheesh! I simply can't keep these straight! I've got power points (where our computer test images are coming from), ap revealed, textbook, 2 lab manuals to look at. I've (tried) drawing and labeling my own, m...

14. child care w/ crazy hours?

    httamli replied to httamli's topic in General Nursing

    Wow....thanks! DH is a homicide detective, and when he gets called to a scene, he could be gone for 20+hours! I might not even know until he's 5 or more hours over his shift end time. He also works weekends and holidays as well. He makes more than...

15. child care w/ crazy hours?

    httamli posted a topic in General Nursing

    For those of you with young children, what do you do for child care when your spouse isn't able to watch them? My husband's schedule is totally unpredictable and when I start working, my oldest will be in 1st grade, and my youngest will be in a part...
