  1. Has anyone taken A&P online?

    Sarah Bellum replied to Ariel70113's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For the Edukan A&P course we had to buy software that has 3D models that you can "dissect". There are assignments every week for the lab portion. All of the tests are online as well. They are...

  2. Has anyone taken A&P online?

    Sarah Bellum replied to Ariel70113's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm currently taking A&P 1 through Edukan.org and doing well. I like the online format tho I think I would benefit from having a "study buddy" and there really isn't an opportunity to form that...

  3. Any other "second career" students out there?

    Sarah Bellum replied to oh_wow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Count me in this group too! I'm 36 and for 20 years I have worked in customer service in one capacity or another, never as a "career" though I have a degree in music education. I'm currently working...

  4. WHAT DO YOU THINK? (Opinions wanted)

    Sarah Bellum replied to RosesrReder's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That stinks. The program I am applying too tells you outright to take the required tests first to see if you would even get in *before* you waste your time, energy and money on prereqs. Where's the...

  5. Ice Packs?

    Sarah Bellum replied to Aneroo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In childbirth class several years ago the instructor told us the best ones she tried were just plain old Kotex pads soaked in a mixture of witch hazel and other stuff (this was a few years ago, the...

  6. Can you "shadow" a working nurse?

    Sarah Bellum replied to bone lady's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Absolutely! I shadowed my neighbor who is a NICU nurse and I also had orientation as a formal shadowing program this summer. I haven't done the shadowing experience yet but plan to in the next...

  7. How are you "paying" for school???

    Sarah Bellum replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Loans from Educationone.com, for the smallest amount that will cover tuition and books. Can't pay as I go due to personal family situation (child w/ special needs, dh also in school *and* working 3...

  8. Medical Spanish

    Sarah Bellum replied to unknown99's topic in General Nursing

    Can anyone recommend a CD to learn Spanish with? I learn much better when I can hear it spoken, and I could do this in the car. My spare time at home is pretty much taken up with studying for the...

  9. When to plan a pregnancy

    Sarah Bellum replied to Chrissy82's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't but I know lots of people that do, it's a great site. Our problems are beyond simple charting and timed BMS though. I start injections on 9/6 and will know by the end of September/1st of...

  10. Do you cover your books?

    Sarah Bellum replied to Mudnuri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yup, I made an old-fashioned grocery bag cover for my $150 A&P book. I take classes online but I had visions of my son or dh spilling something on it and my strangling them. So for their own...

  11. Am I crazy? Or do we all do this?

    Sarah Bellum replied to Mudnuri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You aren't crazy. I do this too. I bought a little DayRunner planner and as I have gotten my son's schedules for school and therapy I have marked them down, got my own school schedule, put those...

  12. Ok, no backing away now

    Sarah Bellum replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Me too and me too! I have a bachelor's degree in education, signed up to start prereqs this fall as well. I've pretty much gotten over the "WHAT HAVE I DONE!?!" feelings and (now that I have...

  13. When to plan a pregnancy

    Sarah Bellum replied to Chrissy82's topic in Nursing Career

    My situation is a bit different... I'm 36 and have a 7 1/2 yo boy. We've been trying to have another for over 5 years now (long sad story). The reason for my infertility isn't related to my age,...

  14. A&P I: Fall '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club

    Sarah Bellum replied to NicInNC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I'm all set to take A&P 1 online thru Edukan this fall. I paid for the class this week and received my books and materials for the class today! I couldn't wait to get home from work...

  15. Is anyone else as nervous as I am about starting school???

    Sarah Bellum replied to wannabenursetx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am also scared about starting back to school after 15 years. I'm taking A&P 1 and nothing else this fall and hoping for the best! I ordered the book and paid for the class and promptly sat...

  16. A&P I: Fall '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club

    Sarah Bellum replied to NicInNC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I read the same comments about Reichert here and was glad to see (in her bio) that she understands that most people have lives outside of school. "See you" in class!

  17. A&P I: Fall '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club

    Sarah Bellum replied to NicInNC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking A&P1 through Edukan too! Are you going to be in Reichert's group, session 2? I'm going to order my book and software right now. That price tag sure stings! At least the book is used...

  18. Anyone else taking A & P I through Edukan?

    Sarah Bellum replied to Melody007_FNP-C's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I realize I'm diggin up an old thread here but I wanted to know how everyone's experience was? And also, did you *have* to buy the book through their bookstore or can you get it elsewhere?

  19. VERY NERVOUS ABOUT A&P 1

    Sarah Bellum replied to brandyl123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have suggestions for you but I wanted to say I am also registered for A&P 1 this fall and I'm scared to death! I haven't had a class of any kind in almost 15 years. I took bio and chem...

  20. How old is too old?

    Sarah Bellum replied to missninaRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a "non-traditional" student as well, just turned 36. By the time I get finished with prereqs and actually start NS I will be 40 or over. My cousin (30+ years as an RN) told me that one of her...

  21. A&P I: Fall '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club

    Sarah Bellum replied to NicInNC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Me too, I think. I have to triple check and make sure my program will accept prereqs from EduKan first, but I'm pretty sure they will so I'll start A&P 1 online thru Edukan on Sept. 19. I'm...

  22. accelerated program

    Sarah Bellum replied to araujojr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will be doing an accelerated BSN program that sounds similar to yours. Mine is 14 months long, June to August of the following year. I'm all for getting nursing school done and over with but i...

  23. HELP!! Time to choose: GRE, MAT, GMAT?!

    Sarah Bellum replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm studying for the GRE to get into an accelerated BSN program and have found the Kaplan CD-rom set very helpful. I got mine on Ebay, it's available also at kaptest.com and I heard you can find it...

  24. 1st timers- fall 05 unite!!

    Sarah Bellum replied to Mudnuri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Me too! I am going to start this fall taking one class per term as I have a part time job, a husband and an autistic 7 1/2 year old son that take up most of my time. :) I have 7 classes on my list...

  25. Nursing Shoes?

    Sarah Bellum replied to sweetmom's topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone have suggestions for someone with *very* high arches/insteps who is also overweight and very tall? I looked at Danskos but they would add more height to me than I am comfortable with. I...
