I have to start all over...again...to do this. Even though my campus is supposed to be part of the main campus, many things still don't transfer. I need to do it now or waste another year..

Anyone switch from pre-nursing to pre-med?

Love, love, LOVE my A&P instructor. I wish he was my dad! lol Friday in cadaver lab he was kind enough to explain morning wood and blue balls to bunch of young women. He was beet red but said it all quite nicely. :)

What do you mean by unimpacted?

How funny...someone just said something about this to me today and I was clueless. He said it is the 80 hours we spend in LPN school following around preceptors.

People can be odd without having others completely over react. He is a great nurse and person. If you think for one second I would put my child in a dangerous or unsafe situation with any practitioner, you are mistaken. I am the patient who will leave mid visit if the doctor is an ass or incompetent. I am the patient who will complain until something is done. I'm not going into specifics. I will say that the comment, while he was talking to my son, was directed more to me and he again apologized the other day when I saw him. It was ODD/STRANGE to have a student that I know caring for my family. That's what was the odd part of the visit. I would definately trust him to care for me or any of my family in an emergency situation. :) As for the little man's arm, it's doing as well as can be expected. He had to have a shower last night and we did the old plastic bag taped over the arm thing. He's really ticked about having a cast and boy is he showing it! He wants to take a snorkling class as soon as it gets off. :)

My advisor has to sign off on my schedule before I can take anything. Give them a call Monday and check. Good luck!

I didn't get any pictures...my cell phone can't send them anyway. He is a smart little guy. The instructor hung them on her fridge but did put big stars on them before she took them home.

My 5 year old spent the day at school with me. During lab today, he helped to dissect the sheeps kidney. It was so cute. He came to one of my study labs a while back and spent the whole hour copying different molecules and then gave his pictures to my instructor.. :)

Thanks. He got his real cast on yesterday and is none to happy. He only has to wear it for 3 weeks though.

I don't know him super well. He made an odd comment when he was talking to my son trying to be funny, but I won't go in to that. He was very tired and I'm going to chalk it up to that. He's a nice guy and he's a good nurse. It was a little strange being cared for by a classmate.

An LPN who is going for his RN got to take care of my son today. We're in an English class together. He did a good job but it was odd. I guess I better get used to that since we don't live in a gigantic city. My older son accidently ran over my little ones arm with his bike and broke his ulna. The radiology tech was really nice and let us see the x-rays right after we took them and let me "diagnose" the fracture. We got the good old hard splint today and go tomorrow for casting. It isn't too bad of a break so hopefully he'll heal quickly.

I wonder if people who donate their bodies really understand what is going to happen to them... That would completely freak me out getting a cat like that!

You don't have to touch the cadavers...or really even look at them, but you have to come to the lab or the professor will drop 5 points off your overall lab scores for every lab you miss. We have one girl who cries at every lab and she only really ever looked at the cadavers once that I've seen. There are plastic models in the lab as well and she'll sit back there and look at them. I'm extremely grateful to have access to this lab. Well, I'm off to work and then play with the boys. Have a good day!

We don't do the disection, we just get to look around in them and see what it is we are attempting to memorize. The pre-med students do the disecting. We have had sheep brains and eyes to work on. I think it's next week when we get the sheep hearts. We also had baby cow thigh bones.
