  1. WTG everyone on awesome grades!!! KEep up the great work!! Traci - too funny about the EC point! Love it!!!
  2. HI Whitney! I hope you did better than you think you did. Hopefully it'll be like my test last week :) *crossing my crossables for you* And I HATE waiting for test results - that is the WORST!...
  3. I hope I didn't offend re: grades in my post! I am totally grade obsessed and always have been *blush* In no way am I trying to insinuate that I'm better, etc... It is just a personal obsession of...
  4. Hi all and welcome to "The New Guy" :) I had my first test last week on the endocrine system and blood, and I really thought the best I did was a low B - so imagine my shock to discover I got an...
  5. Yay for that letter :) I agree about deferring the nursing classes - I could not imagine doing it together either. No
  6. ack! my 1st lecture exam is tomorrow on the exact topics i am truly not prepared for it. i won't be sleeping tonight! i usually do well under pressure so we'll see what happens. my 2 yo was...
  7. Our lab instructors go over the lab instructions and then we're on our own. She floats around answering questions and such, but mostly letting us work on our own. Near the end of lab, we all get...
  8. Thanks for the encouragement! Thankfully the weather has improved and we have school today :) Sounds so weird to be excited about that LOL My kids think I'm nuts. I just realized my first A&P2...
  9. Wow I couldn't imagine taking A&P1 in 6 weeks! You rock :) My prof. doesnt' really use our book at all either. It's all from the supplements we purchase at the bookstore (which are incredible...
  10. Sorry your first lab was terrible. {{{hug}}} Our lab instructor was sick Thursday, so we're 3 hours behind now! The class was happy but I was not. We have a quiz to make up and a blood typing lab,...
  11. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    Blech!
  12. Great Website for math refresher..

    Thank you so much for posting this. I have always been good in math, but I've been out of school for 14 years! So I'm struggling a bit in my online College Algebra course. Thanks
  13. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    WHat a great thread! I've just read all of it over the span of a few days and have alternately been incredibly amused and really grossed out. Nothing to add, as I'm still a student :) but I look...
  14. That makes a lot of sense. IE the chapter on the endocrine system has taken forever and we're still not done. We've already devoted 4 hours of lecture to it, and will finish tomorrow, starting the...
  15. So do you suppose that means it's going to be harder??
  16. We started on January 5th, so quite a bit earlier than most of you :) But our fall semester ended Dec
  17. 7p-7a nurses: do you spend enough time w/ your family?

    This is a great thread and I've enjoyed reading everyone's insight. I don't graduate til 2007, but have already been putting thought into this decision. I really think that the night shift will be...
  18. IT's nice to see some activity in this thread :) Has everyone started classes now? I know some are starting this week...hopefully that will get things going in here. We have off tomorrow for MLK...
  19. I love most of Anne Geddes work. Babies are beautiful and most of her work exemplifies that. But I can see the point about making these tiny preemies just look like cute little dolls, downplaying...
  20. I didn't get the lab instructor that I was hoping for (the same one I had for A&P1) but the one I got seems nice. I've heard her quizzes/tests/reports are more difficult and she doesn't give as...
  21. Today was my first day of lecture and it was a complete waste of time. I suspect tomorrow's lab will be also. We spent the entire hour going over Web CT and the syllabus which is basically identical...
  22. What Have You Had to Disect

    In A&P1 we did a cat (muscles) and a sheep's brain. In A&P2, we'll be doing the cow's eye, doing more of the cat we began last semester, and I'm not sure what else. I enjoyed it and learned...
  23. Personally I want to concentrate only on my core nursing classes once they begin, so I'm getting as much as possible out of the way. Once I start the program in the fall, the only non-nursing class...
  24. YAY! for people posting! Hi everyone
  25. Mnemonic for cranial nerves

    WTG on your 96! I got a 94 on my exam yesterday - that mnemonic really helped!!! Also my instructor taught us Some Say Marry Money, But My Brothers Say Bad Business Marry Money To remember whether...
