The most helpful trick I have found to studying patho this semester has been to go get one of those rolls of white paper, spread it out on your floor or dining room table - wherever you can - and diagram everything out. It gives you a visual way of seeing how all of the systems relate to one another. Generally you end up with a maze of arrows on the paper between a bunch of boxes that all relate to each other, but as you are putting it down and drawing those arrows between things that associate and the steps of a process, you are putting it into your head as well. This has been VERY helpful to me. I hope it helps! Jenna S. President Indiana Association of Nursing Students [email protected]

The one that we used in CPR class would not activate if there was a stable heart rhythm present. It really was pretty dummy proof. Well, as much as anything can be anyway! JennaRN2008

My first post :-) Hello all, I'm Jenna, 29yo mom of 3 set to start clinicals for my BSN in Fall 05 at St. Francis University in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. I found out about allnurses.com from a page-a-day nursing humor calendar that my husband gave to me for Christmas. Several of the jokes/stories/anecdotes say "Overheard on allnurses.com" next to them. I just had to check it out! I'm so glad I did... I've been lurking for a few weeks now and I'm hooked. Jenna
