   CAG12345 replied to stuRN6's topic in Psychiatric

   I'm so sorry about the loss of your mother. Although I don't imagine you feel this way now, I hope eventually that you will arrive at a place where you won't feel always beset by the "what if I did this..." regrets, and appreciate yourself for how mu...

2. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

   CAG12345 replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks, Jess, for the empathy. It's very much appreciated. I agree trying to find out how many people are on the waitlist for each track and where I am (they didn't mention which track I was waitlisted for, so I was assuming it was my first choice, A...

   Hi Smile, That will be my next move. I don't like to make any assumptions either. I was bright-siding it last night after the letter arrived. I plan to call them to check on this, but suspect some good news because they have both a rolling admissions...

   Hey, Heather: Glad you finally got your lecture midterm back. To get an 80% on that particular instructor's midterm is no small achievement. Glad to hear you are still within easy reach of an A and so glad about the extra credit, too. I need it BAAAA...

   Congrats to both of you. I haven't been around for a few days, and was just reading through the posts. How DO you do it? I don't even dream of 100% on anything when it comes to Anatomy... Anyway, you don't have to give me an answer. Just enjoy the ...

   I'm sorry about your grandmother. What an emotional time... I am glad that she lived to hear and enjoy the success you have just had in being able to begin your new career during her last hours, and that you're going to be doing work that will be hel...

   CAG12345 replied to MsDrea03's topic in General Students

   No need to apologize for "wailing", that is what we're all here for, to support each other. It is a small world. I grew up Forest Hills, by the way, but had friends in and went to elementary and junior high in other parts of Queens, then spent high ...

    I don't know anything about nursing school at Stony Brook, but I have both a BA and MA from Stony Brook in other subjects and lived there from 9/80 - 6/86, mostly on campus, the last year and a half off campus. I think it's an excellent school in gen...

    CAG12345 replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks Max6well, Nothing came in the mail today, either. Monday will probably tell all. I called the post office today to see if there was any lingering mail to be had; I offered to come down and pick up anything that might not have made it into the...

    That is so great! I'm so happy for you PdxDreamer. You go out and celebrate this weekend! :Melody: :balloons: Gerontology, huh? So you want to change from working with children to working with older folks? Sounds like there's an interesting story...

    CAG12345 replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am so right there with you, PdxDreamer. I jumped on this website when I got home this evening after encountering my empty mailbox to check whether my fellow westcoaster had heard from MGH. I got an e-mail from them today (which I guess everyone got...
