Websites...

[FutureRN~Pookie]

Hey guys! How are all of you? I just can't seem to get enough of this site!!! I love it!

Ok, here's my post for the night:

What are some really good nursing websites? I want to know about sites from nursing humor to study guides for tests.

Please post ANY and ALL websites you can think of. I am hoping to get a head start on nursing school by trying to get into the "groove" and beginning to understand the terminology.

Some of the websites I've been to and liked were:

1. ALLNURSES!!

2. www.rncentral.com

3. www.cheap-scrubs.com

4. www.cybernurse.com

Ok, feel free to add yours here. I really hope to have a lot before the summer so I can kind of "jumpstart" nursing school. Thanks again!!

http://www.khanacademy.org/ is a great site for remembering all things chemistry and many things biology. Scroll down on page. I used to use this to review while studying Chemistry. Nice, slow, easy to follow 9 minute onscreen lectures.
