  1. Straighterline A&P

    txnewby replied to mrstookielpn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi -- good question, but it HAS been a long time. I did this for a lark and in the end realized I would just stay put with what I was doing. I am a perfectionist and did make an A+ in A&P I,...

  2. Why do mean/crabby people become nurses??

    txnewby replied to R!XTER's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am reading "Social Intelligence" right now by Daniel Goleman (author of Emotional Intelligence -- EQ). I understand your free time is probably very limited -- but a great book. These nurses are...

  3. Hospital Won't Hire Obese Workers

    txnewby replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

    Why is not hiring for weight any different than not hiring for smoking? Each is equally difficult to remedy. You could argue that both might be the result of an addiction or "out of the control" of...

  4. In need of a serious butt whoopin I am.

    txnewby replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are over-thinking this. I am glad you are self-confident, and I can't imagine anyone would write you down for such. I certainly wouldn't. Just be the best nurse you can be, and try to...

  5. Extra Shifts, Extra calls, feeling a bit guilty

    txnewby replied to 33762FL's topic in General Nursing

    I offer you permission not to feel guilty. From what I hear, there are lots of nurses who would love extra hours. Maybe you are giving them that chance. Feeling guilty is a no win situation. Please...

  6. Think Twice Before Becoming a "NURSE"

    txnewby replied to mcrutRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't understand why a few of the posters are being so mean to the OP. Perhaps this is the resistance she is speaking about. This is her experience. Fact: Right now, nursing is a very difficult...

  7. What NOT to say during an interview

    txnewby replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    She may be simply clueless, but this also sounds like "Aspergerish" behavior. They tend to be unwaveringly honest with little social appropriateness. Some of those with Aspergers syndrome are very...

  8. Online a&p straighterline for wgu

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

    Thanks so much for getting back to me. I still have not had a response from WGU whether I have to be proctored. Are you using your book with a proctored

  9. Online a&p straighterline for wgu

    txnewby posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Has anyone made it all the way through Straighterline A&P for WGU's program? I have found it easy to pass, but difficult to make a high percentage. I gather that it is open-book -- however it...

  10. Straighterline

    txnewby replied to ARO82's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Missingmy Erica: Re SL A&P -- how difficult was the Final? Did they make you use ProctorU? SL says WGU requires a proctor -- as in a webcam where you are watched like solitary confinement. And...

  11. Straighterline A&P

    txnewby replied to mrstookielpn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Personally, I think the Straighterline course is hard because your only grade is the test. I have done really well but I have referred to the book for some of the tricky questions and the drawings...

  12. Finished Straighterline A&P

    txnewby replied to MissingMyErica's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am in the second part of Straighterline A&P I and I find it hard and confusing because you have to teach yourself totally. Also, there is no specific material to hone in on -- the tests cover...
