    Ha, I've had similar intimidation when I've been the only non-melanated one in the room, though thankfully I've not really had an experience with "the Grinch." Sorry you've had to deal with that...

    CNA interview

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Moe.CNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    How do you juggle nursing school and living by yourself?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Kohai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wiggly Litchi replied to brennareilly's topic in General Students

    Gah, I'm so sorry, I misread your original post. Ignore what I said at first about retaking prerequisites, but I would definitely check in with advising to see if there are any possible next

    PlanB after getting kicked out of nursing program

    Wiggly Litchi replied to brennareilly's topic in General Students

    A&P 1 and 2 in 8 Weeks??

    Wiggly Litchi replied to angel0309's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How do you memorize / visualize for tests?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to bitter_betsy's topic in General Students

    One thing that helped me for preparing for those kinds of tests (I rarely get the luxury of scantrons ) was to make my own question bank from the book & my notes. I'd prepare it in quizlet and...

    Failed first pathophysiology exam

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    Naw, I think she's got her doctorate in pharmacology. Her questions can be grueling though as they're mostly essay questions. It might be worth tagging a copy of Medical Terminology Made Incredibly...

    Failed first pathophysiology exam

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    Ish - I tend to use the powerpoints as a guide for my reading - I'll skim the other stuff in the chapter, but I only really close read the stuff that is mentioned in the powerpoint. I find that if I...

    Not sure nursing is for me??

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Showdee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 32 and career switching and I have a little advice for you: Don't be your own biggest obstacle, don't psych yourself out. Sure, you got a C - some subjects are notoriously sucky, but it's ok!...

    A&P 1 and 2 in 8 Weeks??

    Wiggly Litchi replied to angel0309's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll keep my digits firmly crossed! Read your textbook and you'll be fine - if you have access to the powerpoints, let those guide your reading. Now you've had one test already, you know the general...
