2. Louisville vs Lexington

   unbridled replied to Astoria's topic in Kentucky

   I was born and raised in KY and have lived in both Lexington and Louisville. I enjoyed both of them. However, I feel that Louisville is the more laidback town. Lexington has more service-related business. Louisville has much more manufacturing. ...

4. Ashland

   unbridled replied to mollyz's topic in Kentucky

   The website for Ashland CC is http://www.ashland.kctcs.edu. I would check with the KY board of nursing to see if ACC is NLN accredited because about half of the community colleges in the state are not. If they are non-NLN accredited you can still ge...

    My Dad and his brothers and sisters. They were born extremely poor in eastern Kentucky during the 1910s and 1920s. They didn't learn to ride a bike because they couldn't afford one. A great Christmas present was a real orange. Their parents made t...

    I just finished a nurse aide class that is a prerequisite for nursing school this fall. The worst part was the bed-making. Vital signs? No problem. Complete bed bath? A breeze. Catheter care? Easy. Mitered corners? Total disaster. I practic...
