   I have the same type of load this semester. Do you have a back up plan in case you need to drop a course? I plan on dropping A & P 2 right after the first exam if I don't have a strong "B" going in all of my classes. My nursing core classes mu...

8. Need help deciding on a school

   BioRN replied to Love4Me's topic in General Students

   Ditto to the comment about past rates for the NCLEX. I almost went to a school with a 79% pass rate because I could get in for the fall 2002. I am glad I waited to get into the program at the community college for two reasons. Cheaper tuition and ...

   Thanks for all of your support. Unfortunately, because I have a degree already I am not able to receive any stafford loans. I will do it. I can do it! Positive thinking will get me through combined careful spending of my dollars.

    I have gained 35 lbs since I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and had a thyroidectomy. The thyroid meds just don't do the job on my metabolism like the real thing. I am on weight watchers and I do very well with the progam but I haven't lost an ou...
