    aachavez replied to loveoutloud's topic in General Students

  5. Best to take Phys right after Anatomy?

    aachavez replied to kaya767's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definetly take A&P close. They relate so much to eachother. I love that in Florida we have A&P 1 and A&P 2, instead of being separate like you have. I would say that difficulty wise...

    aachavez replied to keepmovingrn's topic in General Students

  7. Anyone else hate group projects?

    aachavez replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    ive always hated group projects. I dont like the idea that MY grade depends on the work of someone else. It might end up ok, but it might not. I'll take care of myself

  9. Galen Accreditation?

    aachavez replied to <3adventure's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure what their accreditation is, but it sounds like you should look for a Regional Accredidation, meaning that most other universities in the area would likely accept credits earned there...

  10. Clinical etiquette: card for nurse on the floor??

    aachavez replied to njmomstudent's topic in General Nursing

    of course send a thank you card! I dont know about the sympathy card as you don't know her personally. But those little personal hand written notes mean a whole heck of a lot to someone getting

    aachavez replied to Tepidorchid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Keep thinking of them in terms of squid. Spineless, live in the dark, are always down too deep to be seen, and stink if it gets too hot. OHhh too funny lol.... I was miserable .... MISERABLE at my...

    aachavez replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

  13. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    aachavez replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    even tho you're too drunk to feel it, you should probably follow the paramedic's advice and go to the hospital after your foot is run over by your wife while backing down the driveway... You might be...

  14. Using a MCAT book to study for the TEAS?

    aachavez replied to juslikeneon's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I used only the ATI guide, studied for two weeks and passed with a 70. The ATI book was enough, and was a very good represenative of what to expect on the test. Take the practice tests in the book,...

  15. Clinicals = networking!

    aachavez replied to Cuddleswithpuddles's topic in General Students

    aachavez replied to aachavez's topic in Florida Nursing

    the ATI guide was great. There are little bits of everything on there, so if you bomb the chem questions, there's only a couple and shouldnt be a big hit. I also used Kahn Academy videos on youtube...

  17. The Made Incredibly Easy books

    aachavez replied to SunshineDaisy's topic in General Students

  21. Any tips for science portion of TeasV; petrified!

    aachavez replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    The wording in the science section of the study guide was a bit confusing. It was also the longest, so weighted the most, and of course more stressful! I took chemistry about 10 years ago in HS, and...

  22. Any tips for science portion of TeasV; petrified!

    aachavez replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I took the TEAS V this morning, (and passed, yay me! with only 2 weeks to study) To me, the science portion was the most difficult. However, the material in the book was a very good represenative of...
