I'm like the last one to post on this thread, but I first took micro in fall '12 and didn't pass. I just finished re-taking the course during summer I 13', and passed with a 'B'. Microbiology does not come naturally to me at all, but I am so glad tha...

I have a resident who on average weighs over 300 pounds. She has an order by the NP to be weighed every morning before breakfast. I have to transfer her from the bed to a wheelchair, and then weigh her on the big scale in the utility room. This proce...

Wishing you guys the best of luck on your future tests and quizzes. Mine won't be until two weeks from now, and it is on the first 3 chapters. So far, lab is pretty fun. Just looking at pathogens and microorganisms.

Wow... I'm a little late! Anyway, good luck to everyone this semester. I start lecture and lab on the 8th. I hear my professor is kinda difficult, so I've already written out a weekly schedule to keep track of study time. My course book is 'Microbiol...

Hey guys! I will be taking up college algebra as a summer course starting early July. I wish that my timing could have been different, but I just wanted to get most of my complex courses (A&P I, II, English Comp I, II) out of the way first before...

UPDATE: I just found out yesterday that I passed college algebra! I feel very relieved about that. Math is surely not my friend. 'Khan Academy' and 'Purple Math' were a big help. Now, I am in the process of studying for the nursing entrance exams. Th...

Thank you very much for your advice! I am looking forward to having 'no life what-so-ever' during the next few weeks. I just hope that I can continue to stay focused and discipline myself!

Congrats! I am taking a summer class at the moment. If I score an 'A', then I will have a cumulative gpa of 4.0. I doubt that I will be able to maintain a 4.0 after the end of fall, but normally at my school, gpa's of 3.5+ stand the highest chance of...

There is a rumor in my school stating that A&P II is an easier course to take than A&P I. I (of course) am hoping this is correct, but I just don't know. For anyone out there who has already taken both A&P classes, did you believe that A&...

Racism is alive and well. Although, after hearing these rumors, I would suggest staying on your best behavior and just try to focus on getting the best grades possible. Many people deal with prejudice and racism in all avenues of their lives. Work, s...

... my resident eating her own poop. The first time I witnessed that in my short cna career. It was all over her face, her hair, bedsheets, nightgown, diaper and left hand. She was sucking her fingers like she had just finshed eating some fried ch...

Hate and Discrimination does exist towards overweight people. I am not surprised that a woman would say such a thing (even though she was wrong and extremely rude for saying so aloud). Unconsciously, the media is brainwashing both men and women on wh...

UPDATE: I just found out that I passed A&P II this semester. From my experience A&P II was more challenging than A&P I. I do not mind trying to memorize bones and tissues. In fact, the little anatomy that we did in A&P II was the eas...

I'm interested in reading about the possible theories. My spring semester just ended, and VERY briefly, the topic of 'metabolic alkalosis' just came up in one of my last few A&P II chapters. According to my notes, one of the causes could be from ...

At my school, I have to take college algebra, Chem 110 AND microbiology. Hoping the money-grubbing snakes won't add another pre-req to the list by fall.

The point of my thread was to simply express an incident that I witnessed today at work. I was not making fun of the resident. I am not here to bully anyone. I was making light of a situation that occured at work. Somedays, you just have to laugh at...

Thank you for posting. Yikes. Seems like I need to wear a bullet-proof vest and a football helmet the next I post on this site.

I wouldn't just watch a resident eat her poop. That is disgusting.

You really shouldn't be so quick to judge others. As I walked into the room, I saw stuff her fingers in her mouth. How do you know that I didn't intervene? I cleaned off her fingers, mouth and her face, etc. In the mddle of doing this, my nurse cam...

Hoping she won't get too sick, I cleaned out her mouth and reported the incident to the nurse. Reserving poop-filled cups takes it to a whole new level. That lady's hard-core.

Thank you! I'm happy someone out there understands.

That is hilarious!

I'm taking Microbiology, Introductory Chemistry (chem 110) plus Lab and Developmental Psychology. I'm excited for fall 2012. If everythng goes according to plan, I will be aplying for nursing programs that semester. Have a few classes to take this su...

It sounds like an LPN job to me. If I am correct, there are times when even nurses must perform the duties of a CNA when required.
