  1. How do you handle all the reading?

    I haven't read ANYTHING yet (2nd semester student) and I HAVE an A in both clinical and THEORY. Depends on the instructor I guess. WE use ATI books to study from for our tests. We use course objectives to study from. Piece of cake. First semeste...
  2. Lancaster General College vs. HACC

    AND.... I have heard REPEATEDLY that LGH students are hired over HACC students at LGH, Epherta, and York hospitals.
  3. Lancaster General College vs. HACC

    I am currently a 2nd semester nursing student at LGH. The program there is AMAZING. Everything is state of the art, and new. First semester is 3 days a week. (That includes an 8 hr clinical day). Second semester is also 3 days a weeks with an 8 ...
  4. I am SO excited. I just finished a 5 week A&P1 class with an A-. This got me OFFICIALLY ACCEPTED to the nursing program starting January 2013. I am beyond thrilled!!!! Since my school still has another 5 week summer session available I just re...
  5. Doseage and Calculations can I do this????

    So today was my first class... it was awful. We did 5 chapters in 3 hours. Our math book does not break down dimensional analysis at all and I am struggling with it already. So tempted to withdraw and take it in 15 weeks instead. Just can't seem t...
  6. A&P 1 Summer 2012 Check In

    I just started my 5 week A&P1 course. IT IS VERY FAST PACED, but do-able. I have had 8 assignments and 2 quizzes just since -Monday (today is Weds)....but the good thing is- I seem to have a wonderful professor. He is VERY knowledgable and is ...
  7. A&P1 in six weeks?

    I am in my thirties, applied to nursing school and got accepted as "pre-clinical" (basically meaning they are saving a seat for me in the FALL program) but it's contingent on the fact that I take A&P1 and get an A or B in the class. The only pr...
  8. A&P1 in six weeks?

    RN Sam... thanks for your feedback. My advisor seemed a bit hesitant when I registered for it, the nursing admin director also put pressure on me by saying "most students fail" if they take it in the summer. Really? If they fail... then why do the...
  9. Hello all, I am a mom of three looking to return to college. I have completed 80% of my pre reqs (just need to retake A&PI and A&PII since it has been about 9 years since I completed them and Micro. I just applied to the day time nursing pro...
  10. International Version?

    Getting ready to buy a book for A&P1. Contacted college bookstore and it will set me back close to $400 brand new with the workbook and media. I found an international (in English, but printed in CHINA) and it is almost HALF the price brand new...
  11. Favorite websites for A&P

    I took A&P like 15 years ago when the internet was somewhat a "new" thing, and wondered what the best sites to use now are. I Will be retaking both A&P I and II over again in the summer, and wondered if anyone has any useful FREE websites t...
  12. Need some advice...AM I CRAZY????

    I am an older student (early thirties) and in preparation for clinical math which I will be taking this summer... I have purchased my book and taught myself pretty much all the doseage/conversions/calculations. I am using the formula method (the rat...
  13. Need some advice...AM I CRAZY????

    These comments make me feel so much better. I was worried everyone was doing all the calculations/conversions in their heads and I would look like A TOTAL FOOL carrying around a little notebook or calculator. I am hoping they let me use a calc in sc...
  14. Need some advice...AM I CRAZY????

    do you ever see anyone using a calculator? I am assuming the more familiar I become with doseages and conversions the sharper I will becomer.
  15. Favorite websites for A&P

    Thanks! These all look so interesting! :)
  16. Weird question about poo....

    baby poo actually doesn't bother me in the slightest.
  17. Weird question about poo....

    This is kind of a silly question.... but I wondered if anyone who is a nurse or current nursing student gets sick at the thought of dealing with poo. I have changed a lot of diapers, babies, toddlers etc... and I know for an absolute fact that the o...
  18. Weird question about poo....

    Wow, so thankful for all of you who took the time to comment! I was a little nervous that i would be attacked for being concerned about this "minor" thing. I am planning to go into labor and delivery, so hopefully the joy of a pending newborn will ...
  19. Anyone else in limbo?

    I am anxiously awaiting my letter of acceptance/rejection.... anyone else in the same boat?
  20. Weird question about poo....

    Yes, I am going for my CNA now to get a feel for what is yet to come. I just wondered if anyone else had this same weird feeling. It's not going to change my mind about being a nurse... it's just the only thing that I kind of hesitate on being comf...

  22. Honestly, if I were you.... I would do AS MUCH as you can pre-req wise before your baby is born. I have three kids and did all my pre-reqs before I had them. I have just been accepted to the Jan 2013 program and my girls are 6, 4, and 1. It will ...

  24. Well, we owned Daddy O's Pizza in York for about 4 years. It was a fabulous all you can eat pizza buffet, but due to the declining market we decided to sell. We SOLD it last summer, and I am now looking to concentrate on me. I am so nervous, and ex...
