   2amigos replied to Nurse2bSandy's topic in General Students

   I always wanted to be a grade school teacher, or a missionary, or a social worker. I decided last summer (at the wonderful age of 44) that I WILL be a nurse. My main objective has always been to make a difference. Nurses MAKE a difference. I am...

3. Why do spouses "freak out" about us going to nursing school?

   2amigos replied to luluann's topic in General Students

   2amigos replied to 2amigos's topic in General Students

   I can hardly wait! I went to order the RN notes that had been recommended on this site and was hesitating. I realized that it was another mental roadblock that I had to deal with. Ordering the book symbolized, for me, the all out effort on my beha...

   2amigos replied to 2amigos's topic in General Students

   Thanks Connie! I wasn't sure I made any kind of sense. It's just neat to feel the internal changes and you want to try to explain and explore those changes, but it's difficult to explain them. Thanks for replying!!! CherylM

    2amigos replied to wv_nurse 2003's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my gosh! Thanks for posting this! Can you believe it? And to top it off, he thinks nothing of doing this! Maybe someone should brand his "organ" and see how he feels about it, after all, we'd just be orientating ourselves, right? Cheryl Moore

13. So, do I become a nurse or what?

    2amigos replied to Satori's topic in General Students

    You mention that you have short-term memory issues. Are those issues signifigant enough to keep you from retaining information? Is it possible for you to start taking pre-requisite classes now? It would let you know how you can adapt your studying...

15. APA program?

    2amigos replied to 2amigos's topic in General Students
