1. ***A&P I Fall '05 Club -- Sept Q&A***

   Boink replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm trying! I was in mega burn out mode for a while there. I'm taking A&PII with Weight Training next semester. Taking I with English and working fulltime was kind of kicking my butt! Wow, two people!? That is insane!

   Boink replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi everyone! I haven't read back so I hope everyone is doing well. I have not had much time to keep up with any forums I generally read and participate in. How is everyone fairing? We have our last lab practical on the 8th! The class we started ...

   Boink replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Swamped is right. Our lab practical is the 18th and I've only just gotten the anterior, lateral and some of the inferior view of the skull down. I woke up reciting all the parts of the mandible and it was involuntary. Very odd. Our lecture exam is...

   Boink replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Glad I'm not the only one. I'm insulin resistant and meats and salads keep me healthy, unfortunately, who has time to cook!? I've gained 7 of the 25 I'd lost. Very annoying. On the upside, I'm doing well in class. Maybe it's all related :)

   The skeletal system will be my weekend project. I printed copies of the skull labs from my Holes lab book and I'm just going to do them over and over and over. Hopefully the bookstore has a good chart or flash cards. I'll be staying in this weeken...

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

   Boink replied to NicInNC's topic in Pre-Nursing

   *frets* We've been out of school since last Wednesday due to Hurricane Rita. During that time, I didn't even think about A&P! We received a very late notice type email that we're still going to have our 100 question lab practical today. Well,...

7. RITA CRISIS- Houston traffic!

   Boink replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

   I hope everyone made it back OK. Looks like coming back was smooth sailing in most areas. It was insane and I still can't believe it was done, but 2.5 million people were evacuated and by Friday morning, the streets were empty.

   Awesome, Casi. I did this for tissues. I printed out pictures (In color at work! Gotta love laser printers) and pasted them on note cards -- described the tissues on the back. I will have to do this for the skull as well.

   Thanks stpaulgirl! I will definately give you a shout. I am writing a narrative essay and half is due Monday. I just hope my brain can CHURN something out. Science is so much more fun. I had my first test today. Out of 76 multiple choice, I miss...

    Boink replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing

    stpauligirl, that's very rude of people, you sound like you handle it very well though. I always walk into class expecting what you've received -- and I've been "let down" everytime. So far my classmates all seem friendly and eager to learn. Today ...

    Boink replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Luckily, I have the time to study at work. That is a HUGE help. I use up at least four hours a day at work looking at the materials. I would be disappointed if our tests were set very far apart, it doesn't sound crazy to me! I am nervous about le...

    Thanks Kayel! I'm betting you're right on number 8. I appreciate you pointing it out. I've found that once I know an answer, it's like, duh!!! And it sticks to my head. This website is such a life saver!

13. I am in need of tips on good studying habits

    Boink replied to sunnyday1's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm new to this as well. It's been 10 years since I've set foot in a classroom. What I've found that's helped the most is filling in the blanks -- over and over and over. I do the same with practice tests. I also read my notes over and over. I r...

    Boink replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hi Casi. That does not sound insane. LOL. I have made geez, 20 copies of my fill in the blank lab sheets and I just keep doing them over and over and over and over. I know all of my body aras (popliteal, patellar, mental, occipital, etc!). I und...
