Hi all, I am in the first semester of a 4 semester ADN program at Our Lady of Lourdes SON in Camden, NJ. I took 3 semesters to get my pre-reqs done and am now finally in Nursing 1. I love this forum and spend a lot of time in here lurking. Hope to pa...

I would like to know what nursing students are required to wear during clinicals, specifically students from Our Lady of Lourdes in Camden, NJ. I would also like to know the same info about Helene Fuld School in Blackwood NJ. Can you wear scrubs or ...

I see what you mean. And then there's those cases where two muscles are contributing to one action, like adduction of the arm is both the pectoralis major and the lattisimus dorsi. But it does help some. And yeah, you're right. It doesn't matter wha...

For the lab exam we only need to know the 30. But I think that for the lecture exam we'll need to know more. I'm not sure yet because we haven't started on the Muscular System in lecture, we're still looking at the physiology of the skeletal muscles....

:) Good to have a human model... lol. I use myself as a model. So when I read that a particular muscle has a particular action, I do the action and try to see if I can feel the muscle. Most times it works. I have a feeling that not only will i look ...

OMG, these stories are hilarious. Makes me see a whole other side to Nursing. I am still a pre-nursing student wondering how I'll cope, so it's really done my heart good to see that there are light moments to it all. Thanks all.

Welcome aboard and all the best!! :)

Thanks for the links Fun2Care and BoonersMom! They are awesome and will be really helpful in mastering all the info we need to know. Last I was singing bones, landmarks and joints. Now I'm singing muscles, origins, insertions, and functions. Oy! Good...

Hi SKYSTHELIMIT. It's a simple exam, and its basically English and Basic Math as JKCMom said. There's a study guide you can buy that will give you a very good idea of what to expect and some practice material. Good Luck.

CONGRATULATIONS! :Melody: :)

We're following Marieb. Our breakdown is A & P I: Chapter 01: The Human Body: An Orientation (DONE) Chapter 02: Chemistry Comes Alive (SELF STUDY - DONE) Chapter 03: Cells: The Living Units (DONE) Chapter 04: Tissue: The Living Fabric...

Hey CAG12345, Get well soon. I got a bad viral infection and it knocked me down for the entire week before my lab exam, so I can sympathise. I hope you're well enough to enjoy your scuba diving. Have fun! . I will think of you and all the muscles you...

Good luck with that! We started on muscles this week in lab and we have to know origins, insertions and functions for our lab exam which is about three weeks away (one of those weeks is Spring Break therefore not so useful :rotfl: ).

Yes, we did start at a really fast pace. We are now on chapter 9. We will go up to chapter 16 for A&P1 and then do the rest in A&P 2. I hadn't thought about people dropping the class ... I guess I'll find out this week since we got our test ...

Good start LKG! Congratulations. I scored 59.5 out of 60 in my skeleton lab exam and 99% in my first lecture exam (which covered Marieb chapters 1 to 8). Needless to say I am thrilled. Incidentally, the 0.5 I lost in the lab exam was because I wrote ...

This was driving me crazy till i figured out a method for myself. I agree with Fun2Care. It's easier when you start by understanding some basics about the bone. What I also did was decide to master one particular view of each bone and all the landma...

Popping in to say thanks to all who've posted links to various useful sites, even if I did find some of them too late . Fun2Care, I don't know my grade yet for the lab exam but I think I did okay. I have a written exam on Tuesday, 100 multiple choic...

This is a great link. I just came out of my first A&P lab exam and it covered all the bones in the body, both the axial and appendicular skeleton. I wish I had seen this website yesterday *sigh*, but Marieb is pretty good. I found it easiest to r...

Goodluck with the interview. There's lots of threads with interview questions on here. Read the sticky and look around. Dress smart, be on time, be confident and you'll do okay. And please do let us know how it goes :). All the best!!

Ouch! That sucks. Last semester i registered at the last minute and wound up with a really bad schedule. So i tried to do it really early this semester. I would be hopping mad if they cancelled anything on me! I hope it works out for you. Good lu...

Hi Denverchick, i applied to two schools and have already interviewed with both. I've been accepted at one and am waiting to hear from the other one. Interesting choice - Ballroom dancing.. that should help reduce the stress :).

I start on 18th Jan. Got some of my books yesterday - English comp 2 and Developmental Psych. Am getting the rest on tuesday. Hey, congratulations mimine... and good luck!!

Physical strain ..... i think that's why i haven't gone to the bookstore yet. I am dreading just seeing what the books look like, let alone weigh. I have my Chem 101 and A&P 1 classes on the same day and i have this premonition that i am going t...

Good for you Achoo. That's a great offer. Make the best of it. It will certainly look good on your resume. All the best!!

Thanks Fun2Care. I like the Albert Einstein qoute on your sig. I like a lot of what he had to say. :)
