    Looking for some advice before making a mistake.

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to italianlifter's topic in General Nursing

    I've not disrespected you at all, and I did give you advice. But like most of the other advice given here, you shot it down. If you want to work in the medical field, there are countless options. I'm...

    Paramedics aren't firefighters around here. They may be housed in a fire station, but they don't run into fires. You don't want to work long shifts because you don't want your job to cut into your...

    Thanks! I have a Samsung Note, so it allows me to take photos and then write on the screen with a stylus. So that's what I've been doing, which I hope will come in

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm really enjoying A&P, as well! It's all so interesting to me. Our first lab exam is on the 14th, too. It's a practical exam and I've never taken a test like that

    Room for extra classes in schedule. What should i take?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Lightning90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have one slot and I'm going to take Medical Terminology. I'd take classes that interest me. Ages ago I took a criminal justice class, which was awesome. We got to work set up crime scenes and find...

    New grad, do not feel challenged at all. Help?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to RNinCali15's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have to disagree. I'm 36 and my A&P teacher calls me kiddo all the time. There's no disrespect there. It can also be an affectionate

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Katie19973's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't really have a study schedule. On Sunday I write down all the things I need to work on in all my classes (I love checking stuff off my list), and include "study" on the A&P part of my list....

    It's possible to get a job with an ADN, yes. A lot of hospitals are nudging their employees to get their four year. I'd check hospitals in the area you plan on working and see what they require (or...

    Kahn Academy has videos (YouTube) on math problems/concepts that were super helpful to me! If you're finding yourself unable to understand a new concept, that's where I'd head. As an aside, they have...

    The best study tip I've ever gotten is just repetition. Read your notes, rewrite your notes, create flash cards, listen to your lecture again, read the vocabulary words, etc. Each time you create...
