  6. prepare some frozen meals and start cataloging recipes. Where I live students get a 10% discount on their groceries so I make my weekly meal plan and buy for the week. This has been a huge $ saver and time saver!
  7. Professor Tardiness

    Oh? so in lecture the teacher would demonstrate how to conduct the assessment? Our method is very to the book literally. Read the book before class (which is fine), lecture consists of a teacher reading from their slides with the aid of anatomy diagr...

    My method of note taking can be very time consuming but it works for me. Before class I download the course pwr pts. and print off all of the slides that contain pictures, diagrams, and lots of notes. I then cut out those notes and write down each sl...

  13. I just started my 4 year BSN program and i'm currently taking 3 courses: Physiology, anatomy, and nursing foundations (I had courses transfer from a previous degree, hence the lighter course load). I don't know what it is, but I feel as though i'm e...
  14. Is it just me? Or am I studying too much?

    Thanks for all of the replies. I guess all of the time I spent studying and going to my study group has paid off! A+ on both recent midterms!! I am so pleased with myself! I think i'll have an easier time now studying because I know how the profs t...

  17. At age 25 (soon 26 ), I decided to switch careers and even though I've accepted that fact, I still get those freak out moments where I say to myself "I can't believe I'm doing this; should I be doing this?". The answer, "yes", usually comes to me af...
  18. Thanks for sharing your story with me, it's always so inspiring to hear another person's journey and to know you're not alone in this. I'm trying to cut my spending too to save up but it has been hard due to "bumps" in my employment history. Just t...
