  1. Learning the Skeletal System

    Saysfaa replied to soingal's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My class required all of them. The top two vertebrae individually the rest by catagory (cervical, thoracic, etc.). And the ribs were "ribs" not which rib. And we didn't have to know the wrist,...

  2. What do you think?

    Saysfaa replied to tanelson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some schools have a way to account for current classes. Either some form of "pending" before the end of the school year or some form of "amending" the application after grades are in. I would ask....

  3. I'm Totally Regretting Taking 3 Science w/Labs :( HELP!

    Saysfaa replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I second jngo91. If I were you, I wouldn't drop it until close to the last day to drop. Until then, I would go all out to make it work. Really all out, breaks would be switching subjects or...

  4. Seemingly pointless classes

    Saysfaa replied to thenameismac's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    hm, I go to two school currently. At one, online classes are distinctly not self paced. They make a big deal about that... the whole regular assignment due dates, specific test dates and regular...

  5. Seemingly pointless classes

    Saysfaa replied to thenameismac's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, I've had such classes (not because I don't think the material is relevent, but I've already learned it, multiple times; it is the way the system works that I have to take it again). I've also...

  6. full time and get it done, or part time and work?-LONG

    Saysfaa replied to jboykin5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it is a nobrainer to take the extra time. With the income, insurance benefits, and reimbursing tuition, how can there be any financial advantage to earning a nurses income one year sooner?...

  7. B-O-M-B-E-D the Cat Muscle Exam Today!

    Saysfaa replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, for sure check out the other cats. My prof pushed us to do that and he was sooo right. Some things look very different on another cat. I'm sure you will do better on the next

  8. I'm REALLY uninformed about the next step(s) in nursing school fu

    Saysfaa replied to gabrielgroom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LPN/LVN/PN are all the same thing and are different than an RN. The RN has a considerably wider scope of practice (meaning they are licensed to do specific things that an LPN/LVN are not licensed to...

  9. slacking

    Saysfaa replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Me too. But I've been here before enough times to figure out how to deal with it. You don't have to be in a study mode to study. It might not be quite as effective but getting half as much done as I...

  10. Medical Ethics class

    Saysfaa posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would like to find/start a general discussion on medical ethics. I'm enjoying the class so far but so far it is primarily a book and lecture class. I'm hoping we will do more discussion once we...

  11. Are you going to work tommorow in the big storm?

    Saysfaa replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Lol, frizzard! I had to share that with my sil who also lives in MI and has been exchanging terms on facebook. Her current personal favorite is snowtorious B.I.G. Also, I wanted to add that I don't...

  12. Are you going to work tommorow in the big storm?

    Saysfaa replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    You could not arrange for your husband to meet you at a hotel? With all of the schools closed, there is not a single high schooler (or school teacher maybe) around that could babysit until your...

  13. 15 hours this summer?

    Saysfaa replied to nursinghopeful1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Never mind, I didn't read it carefully. It depends on how much they overlap. If they totally overlap that would be the equivelent of 30 credits as far as work load. If it is just a week or two, you...

  14. can anyone explain what an online course is actually like?

    Saysfaa replied to cdrcan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've had two. Neither were skype or skype like. The first was an English class that had no book required. The prof taught via a series of lessons he posted on the website... it was sort of, a little...

  15. Are you going to work tommorow in the big storm?

    Saysfaa replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Us too. It came after three days of "blizzard warnings for Tuesday" blanketed the weather channels and

  16. If we had a conservative nurses forum

    Saysfaa replied to FLmomof5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Thanks for noting the spelling. I originally phrased the idea differently, although I do tend to make spelling mistakes anyways. Grammar and punctuations mistakes too, sometimes. Especially when I...

  17. If we had a conservative nurses forum

    Saysfaa replied to FLmomof5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    "it likely only seems like there are more "liberal" nurses because they may be more vocal." and "from what i have observed, there is actually a substantial but quiet proportion of conservative-minded...

  18. Are you going to work tommorow in the big storm?

    Saysfaa replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I hate the "but I have...." excuse. So do the nurses who are getting stuck covering for you (kids, pets, etc). If it is live long ways away, in the country, don't have an adequate vehicle, ect.......

  20. Leaving our beliefs at the door

    Saysfaa replied to jordansnapp's topic in General Students

    I don't know what your mean, could you

  21. Medical Ethics class

    Saysfaa replied to Saysfaa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So far, I'm more into what should be. For example, Kant's first formulation. If a dr believes the pt would be better off not knowing his diagnosis (and assume the doctor is actually correct about...

  22. is it true?

    Saysfaa replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Students

    It doesn't go by state, it goes by

  23. is it true?

    Saysfaa replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Students

    Your school might do it that way, most don't. Also, I would check what your school means by "starting over." From what most schools do, I think it is likely yours doesn't take the first two attempts...

  24. Good Advice Karma Given Here!

    Saysfaa replied to alliphx's topic in General Students

    I think you got good advice above. I see just one small detail to add.... I do the inspirational sayings thing also. I've found they do help. I think they help better if they say where to go or what...

  25. Why do people rent text books?

    Saysfaa posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So far, I've been able to sell my used books for about what I paid for them (I always buy them used), except the consumables like lab packets. Renting costs almost as much as a used book and then the...
