    That's what my program is using too. I got a Kindle Fire instead of an iPad, though.

    Just finished Micro :)

    i♥words replied to stratus93's topic in General Students

    Good job! For me, micro was easiest. But by the time I was in that class I had already taken A&P 1 and 2 and chem. I knew how to study by then. My first science, A&P 1, was a little rough, and...

    Anyone trying to get fit before NS?

    i♥words replied to ~Melissa~'s topic in General Students

    Yes! I am weak. Over the past semester I started working on my diet, cutting out fast food and sodas mainly. Then I realized I was snacking all the time for no reason except that I like eating. I...

    Class of 2015

    i♥words replied to MommaTy's topic in General Students

    I had to buy a required package from the school bookstore, about $1000. I looked up the books first on Amazon to see if I wanted to just buy the ebook package and the physical texts separately if I...

    Book recommendation?

    i♥words replied to AMR21's topic in General Nursing

    Villa Triste by Lucretia Grindle. So, not completely about a nurse, but it's set during WW2 and a nurse has a big role in the story. Great historical

    Anatomy and Physiology

    i♥words replied to claritasd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my lab we dissected a cow's eye, sheep's heart, and sheep's brain. We did it in groups so usually only one person did the dissecting and the rest observed. Honestly it seemed like a waste of time....

    Are You A Victim?

    I'm most interested in ICU. But, then again, I like OR. I forsee changing my mind

    I'm in a BSN program and start in August. :) I'm excited! I already completed the background check and CPR certification. I know so many on AN are already in the hospital setting before starting...

    Scolded by the teacher!

    i♥words replied to chacha82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This "toughen up" stuff is, I must admit, a little ridiculous to me. I can't see that this is about judging when and if someone is just joking. Anyone who says something rude and then follows it with...

    Dosage Calculations Test

    i♥words replied to britthohenbrink's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That sounds a lot like the BSN program I am starting in the fall. I think we spend part of the first day of class talking about dosage calculations and then have a test two weeks later. I bought...

    Disclosing Hearing Disability on RN Program Application

    i♥words replied to long2beanurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not at all up on disability issues/requirements as far as nursing school goes so what I say might not have any merit. From what you said, my understanding is that if you disclose your hearing...

    getting sick from microbiology

    i♥words replied to mbkgen's topic in General Students

    I honestly freaked out after the first lab. The instructor went on and on about the importance of cleanliness and safety in the lab, and how we would be working with some dangerous bugs and would be...

    Immunizations

    I got mine when I was a baby (couple of decades ago) and all I had to do was provide my program with proof of that vaccination. No titers

    Longest summer... Ever!

    i♥words replied to twss2323's topic in General Students

    Well, the days leading up to getting my acceptance letter seemed long. But, after that, the final weeks of the semester flew by, and now I feel like this summer is already going by too quickly! I am...

    Tablet for note taking?

    i♥words replied to DaisyRenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a Kindle Fire HD and I love it. I think it would be fine for taking notes if you have a keyboard for it. There are several note apps that are free like Evernote and Colorpad Notes. I know there...

    You seem like a really ambitious person. I hope your journey will be successful. You're actually pretty inspiring. I've been sitting here for the past couple of weeks thinking about the things that I...

    Shoes for clinical rotation!

    i♥words replied to mandi_91's topic in General Students

    I bought Timberland Pro Renova shoes in white. For my program I have to have all white (even the soles) and absolutely no mesh. I have shoe "issues," I guess. I tried on Nurse Mates but I didn't like...

    Voice Recorders

    i♥words replied to larma's topic in General Students

    I have an Olympus WS-300M and I like it a lot. It holds a lot and connects to a USB port for easy transfer to my computer. It also has really nice playback just from the recorder itself. It's a few...
