  1. Hi! New Here any career changers out there with some advice?

    Annabelle57 replied to laurny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  2. Muscle action, origin and insertion question

    Annabelle57 replied to stpauligirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    my lab practical was similar, and all i did was make up the 40 or so note cards - on the front of each card was the name of the muscle and a picture; the back had the origin, insertion, and action of...

  3. Ahhh!! What now?

    Annabelle57 replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    get on the shortest waitlist you can. e-mail, call, or visit a professor - many times, they can have a lot of pull to squeeze in another student when the enrollment office says "no". a friend of...

  4. Bad at chemistry

    Annabelle57 replied to olanurse2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    adding my $.02 of motivation: i sucked big-time in both high school chemistry (c-) and my horrible, horrible "chemistry of life" course in college the first go-around (d). ugh. also did sucky in all...

    Annabelle57 replied to futurenurse85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    big hugs to you!! microbiology was the first science prerequisite that i took after deciding to really pursue nursing (and after an absurdly easy dev psych class - another story), and it was so...

    Annabelle57 replied to emndarmic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i was not a great student in high school... and in fact, my science and math courses were the worst! additionally, when i headed off to college, the last thing i wanted to take was a science or a...

  9. ***Fall '05 A & P II Club***

    Annabelle57 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How did everyone's first day go? My class was at 7am this morning... the earliest I've had to be mentally alert for quite some time! Still, my professor sounds like he is good: lots of easy-to-earn...

  10. ***Fall '05 A & P II Club***

    Annabelle57 replied to Annabelle57's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yay! I got a 92! :lol2: The test was freakin' HARD, too... our professor is an MD and cut us no slack. Additionally, he put the hardest questions right at the beginning: choose the best answer...

    Annabelle57 replied to Annabelle57's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our first lecture test is this Wednesday on CV/lymphatic system. Augh! I have a different instructor for II than I did for I - my I professor was kind of psycho as a person, and this professor is a...

  12. Are there ways around the dreaded waiting list?

    Annabelle57 replied to floridanurse2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    Floridanurse2B: On Monday, September 19, FHCHS is having an Open House from 6:30-8:30pm. Don't know if you can make it, but I thought I'd throw it out there, and anyone who attends and applies will...

  13. Is anyone else SCARED, after reading some posts from 1st years?

    Annabelle57 replied to Paula7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i read that post... it's sad to hear for her, and i wish her the best, but don't base all nursing practice on one person's experience. posts like that should encourage us to "test the waters" as much...

  14. Questions about accelerated BSN programs

    Annabelle57 replied to Josh L.Ac.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There have been lots and lots of threads about this debate: get the BSN and MSN straight through, or get the BSN first, practice a while as an RN, and then get your MSN? Honestly, from what I can...

  15. Feel like such a Failure

    Annabelle57 replied to brandyl123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was only out of school for 5 years when I decided to go back for nursing, and the first class I took was this ridiculously easy Dev Psych class (no joke: 25-question multiple-choice TAKE HOME tests...

  16. How old are you?

    Annabelle57 replied to flight.attendant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good for you! You should be proud, and hey, there's NEVER an age too old to start nursing school, in my humble opinion. I'm 28, and frankly, sometimes I feel a little too young to be doing this!...

  17. I'm ENGAGED!

    Annabelle57 replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  18. A&P II Fall 2005: Anyone else?

    Annabelle57 replied to fledgling's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Michelle! I am sure that if you did well in A&PI, no matter how long ago you took it, you will do just fine this semester. It's amazing what comes back to you with just a little prodding...

  19. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    Annabelle57 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Oooh... well, I may be jumping into the frying pan here, but here are my two cents, for whatever they may be worth: For me, I am going the BSN route because - --I know I want to get my MSN down...

  20. Do you have to start out in a hospital?

    Annabelle57 replied to arigsbee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are non-poo options, or at least less poo options out there. However, I second everyone here: you're gonna do a whole bunch of cleaning up as a student. Poo, pee, barf, blood, loogeys, you...

  21. A lot

    Annabelle57 replied to nursingyoursoul's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My personal "favorite" is lose vs. loose... like when people write that they are trying to "loose" weight. I don't correct them - I get their meaning all the same - but I always get this horrible...

  22. Jacksonville Mileu

    Annabelle57 replied to ghost's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't know anything about Jax hospitals - I'm in Orlando - but I just had to say: excellent use of the word "milieu" (I'm a vocabulary geek and appreciate stuff like that!) Good luck with...

    Annabelle57 replied to Peachy720's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks! He's my dream come true. The summer classes at my school are generally harder only because they're trying to fit a lot of material in a lot less time - I think the fall and spring semesters...

    Annabelle57 replied to Peachy720's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
