Does anyone have a link to an online metric conversion chart? My Pharmacology teacher gave us a practice quiz on basic metric conversion and I can't for the life of me remember what they are! TIA
I'm going for an interview next Tuesday for a Unit Secretary position at a local hospital. The only hours that they have available is 7p-7a. I've never worked night shift before so I don't know if it would be for me or not. My biggest concern is, ...
Just wondering if anybody on here is or has ever been through Rad Tech school. I'm considering going to Rad Tech school because I don't know if I'm really cut out for nursing. I failed one of my courses and I feel like it's really too much for me. I ...
I start an ADN program in January 06. I go to orientation tomorrow and then I still have to get my physical. I must get ready to fork out the money! Wendy
My state just mandated a change in the CC curriculum starting this fall. Some of the subjects that they used to require were also required for the BSN. They used to require Algebra, two Englishes, General Psych, General Bio, A&P I & II, and...
I recieved my letter of acceptance to an RN program today (YAY!) I start in January of 06. I have a couple of questions for the current students: 1) Do you work? How many hours? 2) How do you prioritize? I'm asking these questions because I failed ...

We had our first class last night. I have the same teacher as last semester for A&P I so I already knew what to expect. I think we're going to have 5 tests including the final. Later we're going to dissect a rat. That oughta be interesting.

Hi everyone! It looks like some of you have already started class. Mine doesn't start until Wednesday but since I found this thread I'm going to go ahead and join in. I'm having the same teacher as I did for A&P I. I did really well in his cla...

I know how you feel. I've been wanting to be a nurse off and on since high school. But I've been working in Health Information Management for about 6.5 years and I was just interviewed for another HIM position yesterday. So now I'm back in forth w...
I got my skeletal exam back last night! I made a 93.5!! I didn't think I did that well due to the fact that I didn't study as much as I should have. But much to my suprise I passed. I guess the bonus question helped (name all of the cranial bone...
Well, in that case good luck. :) All I have to say about that is, if you put your mind to it, you can do it. As far as the vacation goes, go somewhere SECLUDED. Somewhere that won't remind you of nursing. Clear your head! Let it be fresh when yo...
When are you going to enter the nursing program? Fall or spring? How many prerequisites do you have left? That was a concern for me. I have 4 more prerequisites left (including the elective) before I enter the program. I was going to take A&...

Did you take a public speaking class? That's a prerequisite for most nursing programs. I used to have a fear of that until I took it, I realized it wasn't half bad. I just imagined talking to one person instead of a class full of people. That sai...

I'm applying to one school, the school that I'm taking my pre-requisites at. They've just changed the curriculum so it's alot more competitive than it used to be. They are now applying for Fall AND Spring semesters instead of just fall. At the mom...
This belongs in it's own thread but I wanted to post it here since it is the A&P 1 club thread and I hope to get better response here. But I need some tips about how to study the the Epithelial Tissues. We have a test on them Monday night and I...

I have my A&P book right in front of me as we speak open to the page I have to study for our lab exam tonight. It's just the Anterior and Posterior body regions that we have to label. Our instructor is going to have the common names in there an...

I just went through a semester of a LPN program. They gave us 4 chances for each skills check-off. If you don't make it after 4, then you fail. However, there wasn't anybody I was in class with that had that many attempts. There were at least 2 s...
