1. Nurse with a crappy immune system??

   KristinaW replied to KristinaW's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thank you! I put off going to the doctor yesterday to get meds. When I told my fiance` that I was just going to try and fight it myself, he kind of scoffed at me saying that "getting a shot always clears stuff right up". When I tried to explain th...

   KristinaW replied to KristinaW's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thank you! I'm currently fighting off a cold right now as I work with a couple people that don't wash their hands or cover their mouths, yuck. My question, when you get sick do you just fight it off or break down & get antibiotics of some sort?

   KristinaW posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   So I have always wanted to be a nurse, as long as I can remember. I'm now going to be starting school for my pre-reqs in the summer at the age of 28. The only issue I have is this...every time somebody gets sick around me, I get sick. Am I setting my...

   KristinaW replied to KristinaW's topic in General Students

   Thanks everyone! I'm so fired up I kind of wish I could have started school in January, but that couldn't happen! My fiancé and I just finally closed on our house & are finishing the renovations & about to move & I'm pretty sure starting ...

   KristinaW replied to KristinaW's topic in General Students

   I know 28 isn't "old", just out of the educational game for awhile. I got a couple of study books to get ready for my math and science placement tests for my school and Algebra seemed like a foreign language to me until I started back reading throug...

   KristinaW replied to KristinaW's topic in General Students

   I look at my situation now as compared to 10 years ago right out of high school, and I am MUCH more well equipped to go to college and excel now than before. Don't get me wrong, I was a very good student, but I had NO support then. Actually, I was ...

   KristinaW replied to KristinaW's topic in General Students

   I guess I never realized how many people had waited to go to school until a little bit later in life. I do think it's strengthened my resolve in that I know what hard work will be involved & am completely willing to do it all. I'm also finally at...

   KristinaW replied to KristinaW's topic in General Students

   The "better late than never" is pretty much my way of thinking. I did just find out I received a $3,000 per year scholarship for up to 4 years (to total $12,000) if I maintain full time status & a 3.0 GPA as part of the Texas Woman's University O...

9. Any older students??

   KristinaW replied to KristinaW's topic in General Students

   Thank you everyone! You've kind of put my mind at ease. Because of a medical condition, I don't & can't have children so that wouldn't be an issue to interfere with school & my fiancé is the most supportive man in terms of really pushing me t...

10. Any older students??

    KristinaW posted a topic in General Students

    I just turned 28 in November & will be starting college in the Fall of 2013 to get my BSN. I've just not had the time or money to be able to pursue my career until now. I realize that having been out of school for 10 years getting in the swing o...
