    I found the apothecary system very confusing, but is a pretty good Youtube video on

    I'm at Homestead and have two classes with Professor Thomas tomorrow. I'm pretty nervous until we get into the swing of

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't start until tomorrow and was wondering from anyone who started today, did you find out anything surprising or shocking? Or has it been pretty much what you expected? Thanks :) *Do any of you...

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    I was wondering the exact same thing. The email I received from Professor Thomas says: "Please bring any books you have purchased and I will go over when and how you will need them during the...

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yes, I think so. I just got 2 emails this morning about Fundamentals and the Math class and it says Ch. 34 - and the first 3 Chapters of the math book (I am in the Homestead program if that makes any...

    I used to listen to the audio stuff on my iPod nano while on walks. I had it inside my iTunes, but you can put the files on almost any type of device. They have a free app that I just downloaded and...

  9. MDC *Generic F/T* Fall 2011 ;-D

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    Here's something pretty cool. I once got a 'Vango Notes' audio book corresponding to my microbiology textbook. It's another way to study without having to sit at a desk and zone out. It's not a...

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    No, it's kind of confusing because I think there are 2 sites. There is one through Pearson Education site which I think is set up for classes the instructor can control online. Then the regular...

  11. MDC *Generic F/T* Fall 2011 ;-D

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    You guys have probably already seen this, but the site for the Medical Dosage textbook has a better Appendix A pdf (with many problems worked out) than the one in the back of the book. So you can have...

    Thanks for the tips. I can't believe I've never used OneNote before. I just checked it out and it looks fantastic. I have a low attention span and almost never go back over the notes I take in class...

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    Please share any study tools or accessories that you like. I've used a book stand in the past but it never held the book at the best angle. Last week I got a new one and in my opinion it is perfect...

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm afraid to know what that even is. I remember when Dawn mentioned it at orientation. If it has something to do with how our transferred units are evaluated all over again, then I'll freak out. Last...

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thanks for such a great answer boot2. I guess I meant like a bad habit to fall into, or something to watch out for that could easily trip us up. But your answer was amazing and addressed everything...

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thanks so much for that advice boot2. Since you have been exactly in our shoes, those tips are very much appreciated. 1. How did you deal with insomnia/ultra-stress/etc? 2. Are there any vacations or...

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    Flashcard Touch looks pretty cool. I had not seen that one yet and will check it out. They show in creating a card while using the iPod (which most of the apps can do). But if you make a significant...

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    That is a great idea. I am actually not that tech savvy and was checking out some more flashcard apps today. I almost went crazy because each one has different controls, glitches, protocols, etc. That...

    Thanks so much for the thorough answer. I am just starting nursing school so unaware of all that stuff. But it makes sense as there are so many scams out there and companies cutting

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    I want to revise my earlier recommendation for the flashcard apps. The two I listed, gFlash and MentalCase, were the ones I had used in the past. I spent several hours last night looking at other ones...

    Can you expound on that more? I found it interesting but want to understand more about what you are referring

    Zaptastic replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida Nursing

    There's a couple that correspond to the textbooks. I think they are free with the code from the book but I forgot because I haven't used them yet. Taber's Medical Dictionary Davis's Drug Guide The...

    Zaptastic replied to lazgon's topic in Florida Nursing

    Does anyone know which is considered the best parking lot or most secure at Homestead campus? After not having a car for several years, I just bought a used one last week (nothing fancy) and it's...
