  1. What would you do.. need advice

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

    The best way I've found to avoid sounding rude, is to explain the situation objectively (without getting into anyone's fault) and ask for their help (or ask what I can do to solve this problem). I...

  2. Gettting lost in the details

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

    Maybe it would help to read over the course objectives. They may or may not be attached to the syllabus (usually not). These are often detailed enough to use as the kinds of direction you are asking...

  3. HELP!!!

    Saysfaa replied to christyb33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have two high schoolers also. I've chosen to go slow. I want to have the time and energy to listen to them tell about their day. That, of course, often leads to deeper discussions. Would they be...

  4. Why do people rent text books?

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

    "$35/class is included in our fees."

  5. How To Study Anatomy HELP!

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

    I second everything 77for2011 said. Especially the models in the science lab. Especially, especially for the head because the pieces fit together so oddly. It was a real help to see things from...

  6. How far would you drive to go to school?

    Saysfaa replied to jdelaney3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would not add commuting for a minimum of 3 hours per day at school of travel time to a nursing school scedule when I had a baby at home no matter how supportive my husband was. "Minimum" of 3 hours...

  7. Why do people rent text books?

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

    Not directed at anyone in particular (general concensus of some of the comments here, overheard at the bookstore, and other places) but.... pointing out that $XXX for a new book vs $XX for renting...

  8. Why do people rent text books?

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

    Now I'm starting to get curious as to why the math isn't working the same for me as it is for most of you. I don't know what it is but I don't think it is the bookstore factor. Of the 5 books I still...

  9. Why do people rent text books?

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

    answers to questions: if i'm never going to use the book again why buy it? no guarantee.... because i don't have to get all of the money back to be ahead. so far, i have but even if i get half as...

  10. Does anyone take supplements to stay healthy?

    Saysfaa replied to ncbutterfly's topic in General Students

    Per day: 10 frozen tart cherries (many health benefits) 1 tablespoon of Elderberry juice (anti-viral) 1 apple They work best as preventatives rather than treatments and along with the basically good...

  11. Chemical Restraints

    Saysfaa replied to interceptinglight's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Some of the techniques in this article may help...

  12. Am I totally out?

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

    I saw the link once and now there is a glitch somewhere so I can't get to it now but I'm sure they won't throw your application out because of what you've taken in high school. They recommend strong...

  13. Anatomy Class???

    Saysfaa replied to jballa34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good idea, Thirdwatch. The technology isn't necessary for it, though. Paper and note cards work

  14. Anatomy Class???

    Saysfaa replied to jballa34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did it by putting a lot of time into it and using the various ways of working smarter rather than harder. That would be things like working on them when I'm most alert, doing a little bit at a time...

  15. Will you delete your Facebook account of you get into nursing school?

    Saysfaa replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Curiousme, I wrote out the ways I knew about five times, intending to post them. I thought I could because they really aren't that earthshattering as far as technique or ideas but I just can't. I...

  16. Will you delete your Facebook account of you get into nursing school?

    Saysfaa replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For whatever it is worth, my reservations about facebook have nothing to do with the appropriateness of what I post or what my friends post about me. They have to do with what a stalker or power freak...

  17. Student Loans got you down?????

    Saysfaa replied to ParkerBC,MSN,RN's topic in General Students

    none of these can be signed up for when the student takes out the loan. this assumes the rules will be the same years later when today's student qualifies. i think it is more likely that instead of a...

  18. I just lost my brother, hoping to get some feedback

    Saysfaa replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

  19. Life as a minority in nursing

    Saysfaa replied to cookie91's topic in General Students

    nursel56, http://pricetheory.uchicago.edu/levitt/papers/fryerlevitt2004.pdf "...there are studies that try to examine name rarity more directly, and they suggest that rare names, and rare spellings,...

  20. A&P PLEEEASE help!!!

    Saysfaa replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought of another thing that might help... the 80/20 rule. People get 80% of the benefits from 20% of the cost (in time or effort as much as money). So, if your first test is over the first five...

  21. Struggling to place in Math 120/124

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

    Do you know what, specifically, you have trouble with? I had no trouble with the concepts of algebra but had some bad habits in the operations that slowed me down so much I never did well on tests....

  22. A&P PLEEEASE help!!!

    Saysfaa replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    RL Tinker "a background in biology isn't necessary nor would it be helpful for most of the class." Probably true, especially since one gets a lot of biology info in life, without taking a class in it....

  23. A&P PLEEEASE help!!!

    Saysfaa replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The course objectives are a good idea to pinpoint what is most likely to be on the test. The course objectives are set by the school not the teacher, so sometimes when they are not in the syllabus...

  24. Life as a minority in nursing

    Saysfaa replied to cookie91's topic in General Students

    I've seen those "grade the papers" things too but there are also various studies that show the Berthas do not have statistically different outcomes in life based on their names. The differences are...

  25. A&P PLEEEASE help!!!

    Saysfaa replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My best advice is to drop the class and retake it after you have studied the prereqs for it and/or at a slower pace. Otherwise, Kapit's coloring books might be helpful. I thought they had reasonably...
