Summer classes, I have decided are the bane of my existence! 520 dollars for a four hour class. 120 dollars for books (it's Medical Micro although I got a used edition, 60 bucks, the lab manual was 60 bucks too! What a rip off!) Next fall I'm lookin...

I don't think so much that it's about negativity, it's about how much negativity is boring. I know any time I hear a sad story from one of my peers I usually tune out the negative things, until their revelation about how great life is. Instead, you...

Congrats! (WIA is workforce investment act for those who know, you just need to google it, it's through your state)

I just went to my RN orientation today, and was so disappointed with the uniforms they've chosen. Instead of selling the patches separately, and allowing us to put them on (I'm a sewing champ!) they've contracted out the work to Meridy's. Which req...

This is a horrible situation! I never received financial aid until I lost my job, and now that I have it, I know exactly how lucky I am. It can be a miserable and trying time especially for those trying to get back in school and start a productive ...

I hadn't been able to sleep the whole weekend after someone told me they'd mailed out our acceptance letters... I opened my letter, sent out a mass text, then took a nap.

You're in the same boat as I was! I got into a technical college program, and also a private university (they just obtained university status this year). Both only offer ADN, so I was absolutely terrified when I discovered how much the tuition was ...

I took the class but have yet to get my certification. The plan I'm going with doesn't require it though, but my just-in-case school did.

I hate myself sometimes for having a draw to the disgusting things. The only thing that really turns my stomach is that hocking sound some people make when they cough, and then don't spit.

Don't be sick to your stomach! The first time I took A&P 1 I thought I'd been working my butt off, but guess what? Big ole D! It doesn't matter how well you do on all the laboratory work if you don't understand the exam material. First thing y...

You could always be a CNA. My best friend took an EMT-B class while doing our pre-reqs (this is years ago, and I took a few years off before actually putting forth the right effort in school). She ended up failing her pre-req classes, but loving the...

I really don't know what'd I'd do without this website! So far I've ordered two books just for summer reading, "Saunders Student Nurse Planner" (I made sure to get the 2011-12 guide) and "How to Survive and Maybe Even Love Nursing School". And of...

I took all my pre-reqs at a CC college, so I understand the expense part most definitely! You gotta give yourself options!

KHAN ACADEMY! The BEST youtube channel for math, and step by step instructions/explanations. Still not an all inclusive thing, but watching some of the videos over and over especially helped me understand the function of nephrons, the heart, the ce...

I would suggest online ONLY if there is a tutoring facility you can go to for hands on instruction in your spare time. OR your instructor is really generous with their time, and will meet with you occasionally to discuss specific weaknesses. Classro...

One of the college's in my area has known as what's "automatic acceptance" which means you qualify for the program with a 3.0 AND a minimum score of 24 on your ACT. HOWEVER they have have a limited number of seats therefore, if more applicants apply ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3t8gtN-Wfk This may help you understand it more! I'm not sure if this explains it, but the way it works is, if there is an area of greater concentration of salt outside of the blood stream, in the extracellular fluid, ...

Congrats, I'm gonna be hitting you up on all kindsa questions come August!

If you do take it, although I have not had any experience with A&P online, consider looking for youtube videos also. There's a wonderful one... I'm not quite sure what it's called, but it's a series. Something Academy? AHA? I'm not sure. He d...

Your grades have nothing on mine. My first actual semester in College, I got a D in A&P I. I ignored it for a long time, thinking Nursing was something I didn't want to do. Then, after a few years of working, and realizing that I could do bett...

I received my acceptance letter a few months ago. Not to your university, but a small one here in Eastern Kentucky. It's a ASN program, but I'm so proud of myself I could blow bubbles! Now to just make my momma proud and go in and graduate. :)

Ahem... 1. ER (I'm like you theantichick, I could just eat sleep and breath trauma! But I'm a former 911 operator, I like the sudden panic, the calming people down, and my best friend is an EMT, so I'd love to get to see more of her, and see the oth...

I was fired. In this particular situation, HOWEVER!!! It all worked out for the better for me. I had informed my boss two semesters ago I intended to go back to school to attempt to be a nurse, his reaction was "So-so blah blah, you won't last til'...

You really need to see how the transfer credits worked at your school! Sometimes they take A&P II in lieu of Physio. You just have to make sure the equivalencies balance out. Also, you need to find the minimum requirements for your school, som...

I have to say it was one of the most awkward experiences of my life! I did my clinicals in a nursing home also, and probably the kind of place you'd hide a family member that was less than your favorite distant relative that you just so happened to ...
