    AKAKatydid replied to Rhee's topic in General Students

    AKAKatydid replied to nikitasmom's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    AKAKatydid replied to RMA2RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. A&P Coloring books?

    AKAKatydid replied to Glimmer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I draw my stuff out too.. I'm really not great, but it helps me learn it. I think the act of drawing it helps it "sink in" for me. Also, I've got pretty good handwriting, so it's kinda becoming the...

  18. Becoming a nursing assistant after one semester?

    AKAKatydid replied to armywife2005's topic in General Students

    Why wouldn't you be able to get your CNA? I don't know about any CNA reciprocity agreements. I go to school in North Carolina, and my school required that we complete our CNA before our first day of...

    AKAKatydid replied to m4rtin's topic in General Students

    We start our OB rotations in May, so I don't know about OB in particular, but I have found so far that patients in general somehow have that weird sixth sense that allows them to SMELL student...

  23. Funny things you have said but wish you didn't

    AKAKatydid replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    I work in an office in the back of a big warehouse. Out on the floor there are some low-life people there, so they really watch what kinds of "weapons" could be around. Because of this, all the tools...
