    Race Mom replied to cherylnj81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How much did school cost you?

    Race Mom replied to suzi_h's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Do I want to do this career?

    Race Mom replied to LizB's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Microbio-ahhh!

    Race Mom replied to suzi_h's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The secret to paper is that you have to spring $$ for the better stuff. The crappy thin paper plates are nothing but annoying, and all you save is like a buck. That's what 1/2 cent a plate, but you...

    Preload/Afterload

    Race Mom replied to noele1213's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sure you need just one more thing to read on this!!! This is not out of my brain, that's why it may make sense! Preload is what comes to the heart before contraction. The heart muscle is much like...

    Race Mom replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am still playing the waiting game, but I was in the program once before (had to w/d due to $$$ and kids) but I remember orientation very well! It really made it seem "final"! That was so exciting!...
