  1. What's your weird quirk?

    That is super cute and very funny! :rotfl:
  2. Can I do nursing?

    I am not a nurse nor a nursing student but I wanted to jump in here to commend you for going after your dream. There are many of us who start out late in life just because and end up juggling spouses and children and responsibilities. I admire that y...
  3. worried about dissection

    I feel your pain. I thought that I was going to have a problem with actually seeing the cat and then cut into it...but I didn't. Not because I'm not a cat lover or because I'm a vegan (I am not) but because the inside of a body (even though it isn't ...
  4. If I see one more post titled....

    Hyperbole and a Half This really had me laughing with uncontrollable merriment until the tears flowed. ... And, I detest the "OMG...I'm sooo depressed over the B+ I got in [insert class here] Do you think I can still get into nursing school??????"
  5. While I certainly can empathize with the feelings of discouragement and negativity, I really don't think that she meant it as you took it. Unless she is just plain ole batty, I think she thought she was doing you a favor. She has been a nurse for qui...
  6. Standing out in nursing school

    Honestly, CuriousMe, take it as you perceive it. My main focus should have been to give the OP some sort of support and/or understanding--not to guide others down the same course I chose to follow in regards to this particular post. I think I shall u...
  7. Standing out in nursing school

    I don't get it. I don't get what no one gets about the OP's post. More and more I notice that when someone comes here to 'vent' they get strung up by the heels to dry. If the post were the complete opposite, then there would be a positive reponse to ...
  8. African Americans as nurses.

    Thank goodness I signed in today. I haven't been sleeping well lately and while I say God bless his young ambitious curious soul for wanting to go for nursing--this post instantly drained me mentally and I am now able to sleep. HUH-RAY!
  9. Prison nursing.

    Hey Carol :) Don't have any experiences to share, just wanted say good-luck and congrats on the new job! Also, here is a link to the correctional nurses section here on AN-I enjoy reading stuff over there. I look forward to reading your posts on the...
  10. PA speaks poorly of RN's

    Debating, and I'm putting that lightly, is fine. Quite healthy. But what is with all the venomous comments about someone's career? No matter how much you look down on it, PA's, NP's, Nurses, etc worked hard for said title. Why the trouble of trying t...
  11. PA speaks poorly of RN's

    My sister is going for PA...I do hope she doesn't have that complex the OP mentioned. I'm older than her and will sock her one But, there are programs in NY that accept students without a bachelors, in which you would get a BA in PA. The three I kno...
  12. How long have you been here?

    I remember I started lurking right after I had my son in June 2007...it took me six months to finally register and make it official.
  13. Cochran School of Nursing (Yonkers) 2011

    Yah, really lol
  14. Concorde's Medical Assistant or LVN Program?

    Please...Please, the LVN for sure. I have no idea why they are advising you to take the MA track first (I think to make more money off of you but no one asked my opinion on that so I'll keep it to myself) but if you did good on the LVN test, I see no...
  15. Nervous about A&P I

    Hm, the best way to get rid of the fear-I'm not sure. I always have a little bit of fear of not doing well with any class I take. BUT, the thing that used to help relieve some of my anxiety was to go home, read my chapters, read my notes, make more n...
