    Actually, the original question is what is the RBC to the solution (which is not normally how this question is worded). The RBC swells because its osmotic pressure is higher than that of the...
  2. Anyone Have Professors That Do This?

    Wow, this is awful. I can't remember a class I've ever taken that we didn't get all the major assignments on the first day on the syllabus. My English Comp. teacher last semester would give us small...

  4. School Policy on Hair/Nails/Jewelry/Make-up?

    Ours is no fingernails over 1/4 inch, clear polish in good repair; no artificial nails. Hair to the shoulders must be put up and hair can't be in face. And our uniform, of course: puke blue jacket...
  5. should this girl pass nursing school?

    Tend your own
  6. No Overtime Pay after Forty Hours

    In my former job I was a trainer, and trainees were not entitled to overtime pay. If memory serves me right (please double-check this), trainees are entitled to pay, it just doesn't have to be time...
  7. I just received my stethoscope yesterday and I'm not sure if I like it. Does anyone else have the Littman "Light." Admittedly, I chose this one because it was both a Littman and fairly inexpensive....
  8. If I didn't already want to be a nurse, I probably would now. I had some minor surgery yesterday, and can't say enough good about the nurses who took care of me. As soon as I got to my room, the CNA...
  9. Is it just colorado?

    I understand what you're saying about Colorado - it's waiting lists, period, right? From what I've heard, there's no "weighting" of applicants; if you qualify, you wait until you're name is up. No...
  10. The University of Wyoming has an RN to BSN program that's on-line. This degree is no less credible than if you actually attend the brick and mortar university, and even with out of state tuition...
  11. VERY NERVOUS ABOUT A&P 1

    A lot of the information you received in your biology class will be applicable to your A&P classes, the application will just be specific to the human body - especially in the physiology...

    Don't forget to Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally (parentheses,
  13. what is difficult about anatomy and phisiology

    As has been said - the volume of material to learn can be a bit much. Anatomy is sheer memorization while physiology is more about understanding - if you can shift gears between the two, you'll do...
  14. I do this also. I keep a separate checking account from which I pay my tuition and all my school-related expenses. If I need to pay for something via credit card, I write my husband a check (made...
  15. Sounds like you are working hard to pay off as much as you can. Don't wait until next September to cut back, though. Drop cable tv now, quit eating out (or at least reduce to special occasions),...
  16. How many times did you apply?

    Once
  17. Paying back student loans...

    Not to be a downer, but....Unless your loans are on a different schedule than mine, you have 10 years to pay them off. With interest, $60,000 worth of loans may very well be almost $10,000 a year in...
  18. What did YOU pay for your Nursing Books for school??

    I had 14 books to buy for the first semester and paid around $500 on barnesandnoble.com - I bought the membership for $25, and that has been well worth it. I paid no shipping, no sales tax. I heard...
  19. Watch Your Language - Breast Isn't Best!

    Interesting article. This topic always hits a nerve with me. Let me preface by saying I do understand that sometimes, for whatever reason, breastfeeding just isn't meant to be. I don't think any...
  20. Looking for advice for dealing with co-worker

    I know this isn't the angle you're looking for, but - as this is a work-related call, she or anyone else making this call should be reimbursed by the county for making the long distance call, right?...
  21. What brand of PDA? Also, we have to wear white scrub bottoms - which I think is pretty standard - but what brand gives the best, ahem, "coverage." Or is it best just to stock up on ugly ol' nude...
  22. Anyone get A's in nursing school?

    While I know I can be a nurse with a "c,", I'm not sure I can get into the RN to BSN program with a low gpa. But, I understand your
  23. Anyone get A's in nursing school?

    Thank
  24. Anyone get A's in nursing school?

    Wow...I'm not even sure where to go with this. I hope this is one of those instances where there's something "lost in translation." I am not in nursing school because it is easier than med. school....
  25. Anyone get A's in nursing school?

    This is my concern as well. I plan to get as much education as I can afford, and know that I am not guaranteed a spot in the RN to BSN
