  1. Tips for students taking A&P during the summer?

    zbb13 replied to TexasNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am too. Figure it is going to need a couple of hours of homework and review every night, a lot of reading on the weekends. I'm going to start reviewing the first section, endocrine now, to prepare...

  2. I AM SOOOO Scared!!!

    zbb13 replied to myoahall's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was out of school for a long time, and I was also nervous. I started very part time. At first, I couldn't absorb the material and didn't grasp the text (and I have an English degree). I think our...

  3. Who's taking A&P II this summer? (2010)

    zbb13 replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My suggestion is--go online. They have tons of university websites where they show great slides of all of these. Prior to labs, I would go online and research whatever we needed to look at (i.e....

  6. What is so difficult about nursing school?

    zbb13 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've read so many discussions here, and I have heard the "difficulty" of nursing school stated or alluded to so many times. What is so difficult about nursing school? I'd really like to understand....

    zbb13 replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm also raising my hand. Just finished A&P I - and am taking a break. Will take the 8 week A&P II. I heard it's harder than the first. Great professor, so I hope it isn't too

    zbb13 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    "people who cannot afford health care should not be having families" are you kidding? what an outrageous, elitist comment. people might work hard, for years, and not see much $ for their effort....

  9. SAHM's or other busy people - time management tips

    zbb13 replied to vintagemother's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I find it best to study in the a.m. when the older kids are in school. With only a little one or two around, it's easier. I give my little one toys and activities. I study while she is playing next...

  11. What is so difficult about nursing school?

    zbb13 replied to zbb13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So much for my critical thinking skills-you're 100% correct. But I found an old post, very similar, that discussed this qn.

  12. The Great Double Standard?

    zbb13 replied to Doog's topic in Men in Nursing

    From a religious perspective, I prefer a female nurse to deal with my "female" issues. I chose a female OB/GYN for that reason. When hospitalized, people have few choices, and they suffer much...

  13. A&P I

    zbb13 replied to heavenleedesire's topic in General Students

    I'm just finishing A&P I. It is definitely doable. I have to a load of homework, and I need to give a solid amount of time to studying. If you work hard, keep up with the coursework, and take...

  14. Are you a "test-taker" or "paper-writer"

    zbb13 replied to Phlavyah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a BA in English (doesn't help you get a job). Anyway, I am quite happy taking multiple choice tests. Fill in the blank and short answers? Forget it. Essays, not really interested. I think...

  15. A&P I Jump start

    zbb13 replied to Kkalasa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Get an A&P book out of the library, example Anatomy and Physiology for Dummies. I used it as a supplement to my textbook. It was easier to understand, and it covered all the systems. Gave a...

    zbb13 replied to moma8gma1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I understand completely. Hang in there. I'm in the same situation, and I think the kids will be quite excited when I'm done, for now. Three and a half more weeks!:) I try to think of it as one...

  17. Nurses, are you glad that Obamas Healthcare Bill Passed?

    zbb13 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    We are not being disrespectful by expressing our opinions (sometimes quite passionately) on a forum. It is also not anger and fear. It is actually concern for our country, for its citizens, and for...

    zbb13 replied to CareerChanger2009's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I'm happy for you...congrats. For the people who got in, what was your ranking score (class credits multiplied by grade) all added up....without the 5 points for orientation? I'd like to know what...

  19. Nurses, are you glad that Obamas Healthcare Bill Passed?

    zbb13 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    The majority of the American people (according to almost all polls) clearly demonstrate that they are not in support of this health bill. I heard a statistic the other day that prior to Obama...

  20. pre-nursing mom of 3 needs advice

    zbb13 replied to Lgoodson614's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would never dare to tell anyone else what to do. For me, I waited until my oldest was in a day program before I began attending classes. I started out very part-time. I chose to have my kids, and...

    zbb13 replied to CareerChanger2009's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I'm finishing A&P I and have 2 more classes (A&P II and Micro). If this helps you figure it out, I have all "A"s and one "B", in Math. Most of the people who got in had already taken A&P I...

  23. Nurses, are you glad that Obamas Healthcare Bill Passed?

    zbb13 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I have no respect for Obama as President. He constantly bashes the U.S. in his speeches. I love America--greatest nation on the Earth--with all of its problems. This bill was written behind closed...

  24. Nurses, are you glad that Obamas Healthcare Bill Passed?

    zbb13 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Granted, there are problems with our system, but Obamacare is not going to fix them, only exacerbate them. I lived in Canada. My newborn was sent home with a very high bilirubin. They were...

    zbb13 replied to CareerChanger2009's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Did anyone get an acceptance/rejection letter from Truman yet? I got mine today and did not get in (have not taken enough classes, it seems). Last year's lowest ranking score was a 56 and I had a 60...
