    Also -- you can talk with your classmates. See where they have jobs, if they like them, if a kind word from them will mean anything if you apply for something

    bunnysanford replied to 078207's topic in General Students

    A&P is a lot of info! I found (and I think you'll see it echoed on these boards if you poke around) that what really streamlined it for me was The Anatomy Coloring Book (Kapit/Elson). It sounds...

    I wonder if sometimes your husband could go to his kid's house for dinner... That way, he still gets to see them, and you have a nice, quiet house and no social obligation (and no

    How old were you when you started Nursing School?

    bunnysanford replied to NursingStudentMomof3's topic in General Students

    I'm 32 and just started the program this week. I'll be 34 when I'm done. I feel like I'm doing this at the right age for ME (which is what matters). I think I'm at the lower-middle of the age range...

    Oh, dear. I wonder if this is something specific to your campus/instructors. Anyone at Allegheny know anything about these videos? I checked Blackboard, and there's nothing from the Nursing

    In regards to preparing for orientation tomorrow: Has anyone heard/read anything about what we need to bring? I'm planning on bringing a notebook/folder/pen, iPad, and a snack, but I have received...

    I was so lucky I checked that form again randomly the evening before I went in for my physical (that unannounced change was ridiculous). Now I'm all set except for the drug test. I went ahead and...

    Whats the best anatomy study program/aid?

    bunnysanford replied to rmariee's topic in General Students

    I second (third?) the Anatomy Coloring Book. When I thought I couldn't possibly make myself absorb any more information from my notes or the textbook, I turned on some light, funny TV in the...

    After getting my titers drawn at ACHD (where they currently have no TB test), I was able to get the TB test done for just $30 (both parts included) at MedExpress on Baum Blvd. So it's out there. Now,...

    Yes, I stopped in the store about 2 weeks ago and figured out sizes. They have to be sent out for the embroidery, so it took about that long. I live just a few blocks from the store, so I didn't...

    I don't know if it'll be different for you (you're LPN to RN, right?) but in my case, everything except for the drug test is due July 19, with orientation August

    Wow, these little costs sure are adding up! $15 here, $27 there! With CertifiedBackground, scrubs, titers, and clearances, I'm already a few hundred down (with sore arms from all the shots and draws)...

    I panicked a little when I read that orientation for Allegheny Night was the 13th! I have my A+P II final that evening. It's actually just registration/advising appointments; orientation's not until...

    I took a look at the course catalog the other day (after a scan of CCAC Central proved mostly fruitless) to get an idea of the schedules, and was able to theoretically set myself up with Monday,...

    No -- I'm still so happy and relieved about getting my first choice, that I hadn't given much thought to when that would happen (and with CCAC, in my experience, it's hard to tell)! I imagine...

    Hi! I got my acceptance letter Thursday for Allegheny Evening! I'm excited to start! I can't remember who was asking, but I had a 3.73 GPA, and got most of my pre- and co-reqs out of the way (only...
