  1. OK.. probably a stupid question..

    Thanks everyone! I couldn't decide whether or not to do NC 5 before or after the baby comes - I couldn't decide when I would be more brain dead!! Guess we'll find out. Thanks again! :)
  2. OK.. probably a stupid question..

    Thanks! It'll be our second boy. :)
  3. OK.. probably a stupid question..

    Sweet - found a stupid answer to my stupid question. Going to do NC 7 next. Ignore me please!!! :bugeyes:
  4. I get that I can do the NC exams out of order, but does that include NC7? I am doing NC 4 next week, and the way things are going I would only be able to squeeze in one more exam before the baby comes - NC 7 looks like one I could pull off fairly eas...
  5. Is getting into a nursing school easy in other countries?

    And actually I am hearing now there are wait times for the RPN program as well. I did one in Ontario (ptbo) with no wait time, just a lot of pre-req's from HS, but that was 6 or so years ago.
  6. Dropping out of 4th semester nursing

    Sweet Caroline, I hear ya sister on the immune probs. The same women in my family also have a slew of auto-immune probs, all of which are more tolerable with changes we've made to our diets. The most devastating is my little sis who was diagnosed wi...
  7. Dropping out of 4th semester nursing

    Ps. ..Also, it's not necessarily what you don't eat, it's what you DO eat. Eat whole grains, fresh produce, and less processed meats - obviously in general, the more processed it is, the worse it is for you, and with this problem, the worse it makes ...
  8. Dropping out of 4th semester nursing

    I realize that. I have read that if you consume wheat for a week or two and then get tested it will show up. I've tried. I have 2 aunts, my mother and sister who also have the same problem, so we've done some reading. My one aunt who has had to be h...
  9. Dropping out of 4th semester nursing

    Seriously, try changing your diet. I developed "IBS" in my 3rd semester of LPN school and it was terrible. On top of the bowel probs I felt like it was getting harder and harder to focus and stay motivated. I felt depressed, irritable, emotionally vo...
  10. Healthcare-Bad economy

    I think it depends on the area. I lived in northeast UT where there was/is a lot of gas and oil work going on, therefore a lot of highly paid tradesmen in town, and it was hard for the area to keep up with the growing pop. The hospitals were so small...
  11. OH SWEET. Am I ever glad I found this thread! I was thinking of putting off an exam because we can't really afford the $65, plus gas, plus a sitter when we are moving in a couple of weeks.... but now I think I'll take advantage of this and be back o...
  12. Newborn Hypoglycemia Protocols?

    So sad. I understand doing what needs to be done, I just wish patients/people had more opportunity to make better informed decisions, in this sort of situation, and also regarding their general health. But maybe that's why I am interested in PH. :ic...
  13. Ky Excelsior Students

    Ok, relieved to hear that KY takes EC grads - we're moving there in two weeks... although I have much longer than that before I graduate, but ssh. Any conditions to being able to pracitice? Hours etc.? Thanks, V
  14. Any Excelsior Grads From Kentucky

    The money for the EC practice exams are worth every penny! Many of the questions are very similar... :) Good luck! NC 1 is pretty straight forward, common sense sort of stuff. Cheers, Vida
  15. Newborn Hypoglycemia Protocols?

    If that was my baby I'd refuse THAT many sticks! Geeze - poor little guys!
