My name is Meredith. I'm a senior in high school, finishing up loose odds and ends and studying to take the SAT. I'll likely have everything except geometry, human A&P, and chem finished by the end of this year.
I've wanted to be a nurse for 3 years now. I'm extremely fascinated by medical science and physiology, and I absolutely adore helping and caring for others.
I hope to go to college and receive my BSN from IU, then become a Registered Nurse.
The fields I'm considering working in are Trauma, ER, ICU, or Labor and Delivery.

That's kind of a frightening concept! I mean, I'm not judging the mom, if she really wants this, then at least she voiced that desire. But there are so many things that could go wrong... (Not to mention suddenly needing to throw up at the sight of a ...
I'm working on my Anatomy and Physiology course, and it requires me to memorize about 200 some of the Skeletal muscles. Does anyone have experience, have tips for making flash cards, or know of some good mnemonics or other methods of learning them? T...
