  1. Best makeup for clinicals?

    katebean04 replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    I did a little research and found some suggestions. Apparently, liquid foundation that dries to a matte finish, powder and mineral foundations are the best for oily skin. Correct me if Im wrong, but I...

  2. A&P 1 vs. A&P 2

    katebean04 replied to Nico345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school, the book is split in half pretty much. I think you need to take A&P I in order to understand the basic functioning and anatomy of the body. I would not want to jump into A&P II...

  3. Biology & A&P I

    katebean04 replied to CASM's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it is your first science course in a long time, I would take the biology by itself. My college has "Biology for the health technologies" and it is a prereq to take Anatomy and Physiology. It is...

  4. Nursing Pre reqs

    katebean04 replied to melissa1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am terrible at math!!! I decided to take a basic pharmacology course that is not required for my program to see if I could do drug math, before I spent thousands more of my money going to school. We...

  5. Med Errors

    katebean04 replied to UM Review RN's topic in Patient Medications

    This was told by my basic pharmacology teacher (who is a veternarian....just taking this class out of interest while on the waiting list for the nursing program.) Well, apparently someone broke into...

  6. Outlining textbooks???

    katebean04 replied to Darkpk55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was the same way for quite a while. Now, I make sure that I read the chapter through one time without taking notes or highlighting. This way I can tell whats important to write down. I used to spend...

  7. A&P 1 - how to study Histology?

    katebean04 replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Bones was harder than histology for me. Our lab exams were set up where we were looking at tissue samples under the microscope and had to be able to name what kind of tissue it was. We had questions...

  8. A&P in 8 wks - how did you do it?

    katebean04 replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also, if you have taken medical terminology, this can be a big help to you. Break down the words, just like you would have for med term. Break them down, sylable by sylable and try to get the full...

  9. A&P in 8 wks - how did you do it?

    katebean04 replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We had study guides and diagrams that we had an idea of what we were going to be tested on. In an 8 week course it is the same information just condensed down into a shorter time frame. I highly...

  10. Taking A&P 1 over the summer

    katebean04 replied to Darkpk55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A and P I over last summer... it was very fast paced but managable. If you do not have a full time job, I would say go for it. I was at class 4 nights a week for lecture and lab and 2 nights a...

  11. Should I retake A&P1?

    katebean04 replied to Angelitanecia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am at a community college with a two year waiting list for the RN program. There was lots of hearsay about grades before I applied. I would speak to a counsler before you spend the money on retaking...

  12. Help! How do I make it through Nursing school even though I hate it?!

    katebean04 replied to steven007's topic in General Students

    I have found that I do better in courses that pertain to my degree: I feel less stress and I actually enjoy studying. Why put yourself through the stress of nursing school if you are not planning on...

  13. questions about your first code.. from a student nurse

    katebean04 replied to tinker72's topic in General Nursing

    My mother is going through chemo for breast cancer... and at each treatment she is paired up with a different patient and they recieve chemo together. So far she has been paired up with two people...

  14. Disaster Preparedness

    katebean04 replied to ky_grl82's topic in General Nursing

    I think all mom's think alike- I have diapers, wipes, canned food, and canned milk/powedered milk stored, because you never know. It is better to be prepared, but I am not over paranoid about it...

  15. Med-Surg and the Old Folks

    katebean04 replied to Iheartadvice's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It is comendable that you care for the elderly the way that you do.. it is so sad that others on your unit do not take the same caring attitude... You have a big heart, and I am I torn between telling...

  16. Bloody patients

    katebean04 replied to SaraO'Hara's topic in General Nursing

    CNM 26.2- I highly doubt she is refering to more than one patient as she states, "even if you did not get pain pill #2 until 5 hours after pain pill #1, I cannot give you pill #3 one hour "early..."...

  17. Anatomy & Physiology: experiences?

    katebean04 replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wanted to clarify, about the full time job... I am a mom and that is a full time job- but I am in my house where I have access to my text. My poor kids, they are learning right a long with me.. we...

  18. Anatomy & Physiology: experiences?

    katebean04 replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am about half way through an eight week summer session of Anatomy and Physiology I.. it is fast paced. Our class is four nights a week, and I am at school probably 6 nights just to get extra lab...

  19. Best teacher or professor you have had and why?

    katebean04 posted a topic in General Students

    I have had several teachers that went out of their way to help their students. My medterm teacher would stay after to show us tricks to remember words that were making us crazy. My anatomy and...

  20. What do you think of the Marieb workbooks for A and P?

    katebean04 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just bought the combined anatomy and physiology workbook by Marieb from my book store. (It was 55 dollars!!!) I noticed they also had them where you could buy just an anotomy workbook and just a...

  21. What do you think of the Marieb workbooks for A and P?

    katebean04 replied to katebean04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you!! I have gotten through the first week pretty good. Got an A on the first quiz, probably due to the fact that I used the website and outlined the chapters. Have not used the coloring book...

  22. How am I supposed to get in with these grades?

    katebean04 replied to kraam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only advice I can suggest, is try to watch your course load. If you have more time to study for lets say- two or three classes.. your chances of mastering the material are better. Throughout the...

  23. how do i study? self motivate myself? be disciplined? more assertive?

    katebean04 replied to mashamontago's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I know exactly how you feel. First things first, is get rid of all distractions if possible. I usually put my cell phone on vibrate and put it in another room. If someone really needs me they will...

  24. What is Wrong With This Picture?

    katebean04 replied to realnursealso/LPN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think that this nurse is most likely incompetent but maybe there isn't enough information from this video to determine what actually happened. A quick glance at an injury doesn't seem like the...

  25. What do you think of the Marieb workbooks for A and P?

    katebean04 replied to katebean04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you for the great advice guys. I have used the publisher websites for other science courses and found them helpful. For our prerequisite to A and P, we had Marieb workbooks that were somewhat...
