    Reminds me of when I was juggling Micro, A & P, Nutrition, and O-chem during the same term......just before I got into the nursing program. After that, I knew I could do just about anything.

    Hahahaha! I'm learning to juggle right now! It takes the edge off the stress. I need to learn that foot catch, though.

    What you mean not all nurses have 4 arms and 2 heads?

    You know, I was accepted 3 times over a 12 year period on interviews alone.
    Terrible HS grades, great NLN entrance exam and SAT scores. Of course that was back in the 60's and 70's.

    Hospital school cost $50 for uniforms and $50 a year. I went 4 weeks (I think that's what I remember). College the next year was $13 a semester hour with a max of $163 for an 18hr semester, I went 2 1/2 years there, and to finish the other 3 semesters 7 years at the University later cost me $900 total in 1973-74. Hmmmmmm? I believe I still have the University receipt/student ID cards for you doubting Thomas-es.

    With that much talent and with today's job market for nurses, he's better off taking his show on the road!

    Badly. Nursing is my dream. I've worked hard to get where I am at, I'm not going to blow it.
