  4. Am I going to be able to make this relationship work?

    I am not sure advice from a bunch of people online who don't know either of you is going to be very helpful. Maybe you should try finding some pre-marital counseling that can help both of you figure...
  5. Which of the sciences did you find hardest?

    Gen Chem for sure, but not because the subject itself was hard. I liked the labs, but I had the hardest time staying awake in the lecture portion of that class. A lot of was the instructor, but I...
  6. Have most of you taken AP with Micro?

    I took A&PII and Micro at the same time. I purposefully took both classes from the hardest professors available, and all 3 were combo theory and lab classes. It was an insane quarter, but if you...

  13. Nursing Orientation...

    Your school wouldn't allow two guests to attend if they didn't think it was a good idea to involve your support system. I say go for it. And for those you who made nasty comments about mommy and...

  16. PT's that require a private room

    I am not sure that a private room would be all that helpful in the case of an Ebola patient, as chances are they would have come in contact with others in the hospital before making it to that private...
  17. How Not to Get Taken Advantage Of

    I am a lot like the OP, in that I am very organized and take very good notes and never miss class. I have absolutely no problem helping people who are working hard, and maybe need a little help or...

  19. Drug screening anxiety

    Try not to freak out too much until after you speak with her. If she has been aware of your condition and medications this whole time it could be something as simple as needing more documentation for...
  20. Good Luck! Ellinger is an awesome A&P teacher, so if you get a chance to take his class you should go for it. He is really tough, but you learn a ton from him. I also thought Diane Mauldin was...

  23. Nursing school = weight gain?

    If you are gaining weight and have not changed your eating or exercise habits you should go see your dr. to rule out any possible medical reasons, especially if the insomnia is something relatively...
  24. Out of town clinical sites?

    Most of my clinicals will be at various hospitals in Seattle, which is about 40 minutes away from my house and about 20 minutes away from the school. Day shift clinicals start before the traffic gets...
  25. Science Classes and Core Nursing classes

    I do not actually start nursing school until the fall, but judging by the things we are covering in fall quarter I can pretty much guess how each of the prereq classes are going to apply. Micro will...
