  1. how am i going to pass?

    pookapooka replied to TamTam23's topic in General Students

    First, take a deep breath and calm down. Next, break up your studying into more manageable chunks. Don't try to tackle 10 chapters all in one night. You have 3 weeks, so do 1/2 to 1 chapter a day....

  2. finding a brachial artery

    pookapooka replied to bubbasmom's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the tips! This is the one pulse point that I have had a hard time

  3. How is it going so far?

    pookapooka replied to windmill182's topic in General Students

    I just finished up my fourth week. If you had asked me last week if I was overwhelmed, I would have shouted YES. But, we had a project due literally the same day as our first test. The instructor said...

  4. Best Apps for student RN!!

    pookapooka replied to slangley's topic in General Students

    I don't have a Droid, but I have a iPhone. I downloaded epocrates but soon deleted it.. I like Medscape much better. If Droid offers it, check it out... It's free! I also have a virtual flashcard app...

  5. What to put in lunch box? Can't spoil on me in 4 hours.

    pookapooka replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    WOW. Maybe at her last job/school/whatever the OP had access to a refrigerator. Maybe she went home for lunch. Maybe lunch was provided. You don't have to be so rude. Maybe she's tired of cup of...

  6. Estrella Mountain Community College!

    pookapooka replied to aubryb429's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm wondering this too... Does anyone have any

  7. Chamberlain (PHX) spoke with an adviser today...

    pookapooka replied to RN2b23's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hmmm... I think you are right to have some reservations about that program, with what Jennifer was telling you. How long have you been on the Maricopa wait list? If you've already been waiting for...

  8. Upcoming Background Checks for MCCD

    pookapooka replied to Driz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That's a little irritating. It says about a thousand times that we have to cover the cost of the background check ourselves. I don't want to pay for that. I've worked in law enforcement for the last...

  9. Managing monthly expenses while in school

    pookapooka replied to mhmerr's topic in General Students

    Speaking of coupons, you should definitely clip and use them for health and beauty items (if nothing else). Try doing a google search for a coupon blog in your area (there are TONS of coupon/savings...

  10. How to tell if a school is a "for profit" school?

    pookapooka replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can go to CollegeBoard and look up potential schools. On the school's profile page, it will list the type of institution it is. If it says "proprietary," then it's a for-profit school. Hope that...

  11. Starting your ADN in Phoenix area this Summer/Fall?

    pookapooka replied to orangesky24's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm going to lurk too! I'm Stefanie, and starting at Estrella Mountain this fall. I've been a police dispatcher/911 operator for the last 6 or so years, and to only have two weeks left on the job is...

  12. Fall 2011 students, what do you have so far?

    pookapooka replied to Sugar-Phosphate's topic in General Students

    Wow, you guys are on it!! I'm not that well-prepared yet. (LAME! I know.) I've set up my study space, and have been stocking up on things like printer paper, ink, notebooks, binders, dividers, page...

  13. What color is your uniform?

    pookapooka replied to MILOBRI's topic in General Students

    Ours aren't too bad... They are "caribbean blue," which actually looks like teal. The lab coat is white, and we actually get a choice as to the style of top and bottoms. We can either pick a scrub...

  14. Questions regarding immunizations for nursing school...

    pookapooka replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

    That sounds a little excessive. I had titers done for MMR, Hep B, and Varicella. I was able to find my childhood immunization record, so if my titers are negative, I don't have to have them all...

  15. Tell Me About Your Study Space.

    pookapooka posted a topic in General Students

    Hi there! I'm pretty new to the site, and will be starting NS in August. (Holy sheep! That's only 2 months away!) I want to know about your study spaces. What works for you? Do you have a dedicated...

  16. second career nurses finding jobs

    pookapooka replied to bols27's topic in General Students

    Ha! This has to be the best commment I've seen!!

  17. Well this is bitter sweet.

    pookapooka replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Oh!! Good and bad!! Its so painful to pay for essentially the same class you've already taken, but so nice to know you'll ace it...

  18. Who is finding nursing school way easier than you were told it would be?

    pookapooka replied to SayNoTo DNC's topic in Arizona Nursing

    seriously?? do you mind saying what school you went to? that's

  19. Time Stamps - anyone with Dec 2010? Is new NAU partnership program slowing us down??

    pookapooka replied to NoDNCpls's topic in Arizona Nursing

    My time stamp was May 2009 and I was placed in the first placement run for fall that took place in March 2011. But, the program I was placed into was my third choice, so I wasn't at the top of the...

  20. Nights or Days?

    pookapooka replied to mom2ccg's topic in General Students

    Personally, I would go with days. I've been working a night shift (in a completely different field) for the last 6 years, and boy is it catching up with me. I have a great deal of difficulty...

  21. Do you recommend taking anatomy and physiology online?

    pookapooka replied to bdm2010's topic in General Students

    So you have to take a semester of A&P before fall semester? Yikes! I would try to take it in person if there was any way that was possible. I took A&P online and really struggled due to the...

  22. Math!!!!! Urgent....

    pookapooka replied to Cari Turner21's topic in General Students

    Someone a few posts ago asked you which two math classes you were thinking of taking... Seems to me you're more interested in ranting than actually getting some assistance. Short answer: if one class...
