Hello! I've just decided to change careers and pursue a long time dream of going into medicine, nursing specifically. However, I've recently become interested in holistic nursing. Can someone please explain the differences between traditional nurs...

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...

No, not my final. Wish it were that simple!

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...

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...

Super! I will definitely be taking a look since I'm actually using that book this fall! What school are you at?

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...

I was thinking I could get by without one, but since I'm doing this all online, I need to get a kinesthetic learning modality involved in learning. (I've discovered this as I'm skimming the bones.) While we have APRevealed (excellent program), I ne...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I had heard the differences before, made up my mind to go straight through the RN program, but now am wondering if I can remain unemployed that long. (No, holding down a job isn't an option for my family while I'm in school.) Now, I'm wondering w...

To make a long story short, I will be starting nursing as a second career. The opportunity to do this was kind of thrown at me and I jumped, without looking. Now I feel (mid-air) like I should have looked before I leaped! I'm only finishing pre-re...

To make an incredibly long story short, over Christmas, my parents offered to pay for me to go back to school for my ADN, and offered to help care for my 2 small children. I alredy have my BS in elementary education, but after working in it for 11 y...

We have been given the slides that we (think) will be used on our lab practical. Its all online so the slides will come off our school's biology website. However, I'm having the hardest time remembering for the 20+ slides, what each is, where they'...

Nope not PVCC. But I do have a prof. who tests very unfairly and gives you absolutely NO IDEA what the test will cover. His objectives don't match the exam. He says he's using pics from the website, but honestly, we would not be surprised if he use...

I'm taking an online hybrid A&PI class. We meet in person twice for labs and have 4 days to take each of 4 scheduled tests. We have tons of online activities, etc to use and we are expected to listen to his recorded lectures and view the releva...
