  5. Fired during probation... what now-- more than 1 yr RN

    Sometimes a closed door heart to heart works well when people or personalities are not clicking. In my current job, we all had to go to "charm school". Actually it was titled Managing Interpersonal...
  6. Is nursing for me???

    I believe the RNs are the foundation and back bone to any hospital. Great Nurses choose to be a Nurse because they are natural born care givers. Hospitals may be moving in the direction of hiring BSNs...
  7. Anxiety about dissection.

    I think the first thing a person needs to do is approach it with the mindset that this person donated their body so people could learn, and in turn, help other living people get better. You cod...
  8. Fired during probation... what now-- more than 1 yr RN

    I also agree, you need to put the past behind you and move Forward. You certainly won't get any bites if you don't have bait in the water. I know certain states don't require you to list previous...
  9. Disappointment and sadness

    Most college professors are pretty rigid on deadlines unless you have a very valid reason for missing them. Just keep doing what you need to do and you will make it
  10. Doing lousy with being a Nurse's Aide

    Ultimately it's your choice to make, but I think the nerves will go away as you build
  11. What did/do you dissect in A&P lab?

    In Biology, baby pigs. We did not do dissections in A&P 1, but I understand there are 5 in A&P 2. I'm not sure if it will be a cadaver or something else. I do know our school has cadavers...
  12. Southwest TN Community College Spring 2014

    Go to the Tennessee thread, there is normally some chatter over there about South West Community College. From what I have read, and heard from people who have applied there, they are slow about...
  13. What the heck?

    I did the lecture online, that was tough!!! I did my lab at the campus and our Instructor was great. We had bone kits on the table in front of us, models at the front of the room, he went over...
  14. Need help looking for nursing schools!

    I believe there is also a NCLEX App
  17. Here we go.

    I also did Algebra online. I used Mathway.com, YayMath, and Khans to help me through the areas I needed help with. Good Luck
  18. What the heck?

    We had a great instructor. He went through all the material, showed us all the features and processes on the bones, walked us through using the microscopes, asked tons of probing questions, told us...
  19. Anatomy and Physiology

    Hey, first thing, we Home School our kids :-) I loved A&P lab so learning all the muscles and bones was a snap. However, there are several websites out there just to help you learn the parts of...
  20. Need help looking for nursing schools!

    The simple answer is to contact schools in your area and ask to speak to an advisor. I know here in Northern Mississippi, the classes have become so competitive that the college I attend only offers...
  21. I am psyching myself out... someone smack some sense into me

    I'm turning 47 in about a week. I completed a degree in Aviation back in the late 80's and have worked since then. When I started back to school a couple of Semesters ago, I was unsure what to expect....
  22. A & P pre requisites - need advice

    Ditto on Khan Academy
  23. I am psyching myself out... someone smack some sense into me

    Finding a "good" tutor is beneficial. The key word is "good". I went to our college's Math lab. The guy there, who was supposed to help with Algebra, preferred to play on his smart phone instead. He...
  24. A & P pre requisites - need advice

    Khan University has an APP, lots of videos, and Khan does a great job explaining just about anything. You can also go to his free website and see all the YouTube videos he has
  25. A & P

    Don't fall behind!!!! Also, understand that one chapter typically builds off the previous chapter. If you don't understand the previous chapter, learning the current chapter will be challenging. Good...
