My son is 8 and is in the 75th percentile for weight (95th for height!). His pediatrician told me he could safely gain up to 10 pounds and still be perfectly fine. I have always believed in...

My son broke his arm on Memorial Day and my ER bill was $3800. Thank heaven for insurance which knocked my out of pocket down to $1600. After almost $26000 in bills last time I had to go to the ER,...

I had a 3.633 with all courses completed for Fall and I got in on the first pool.

haimyem - still waiting with you. I called advising and was told they are working on getting the orientation info out to us. The tentative date I got for orientation was the 30th of this month. ...

I was in the ER two years ago for appendicitis and rang my call bell for assistance. No response. Turns out it wasn't working. They had no idea I needed assistance. I had to take my son to a...

I have been wondering about this same thing for when I start school in August. Same issue, tat on my left wrist about an inch-and-a-half square.

I have to wonder how past and current patients of the hospital are going to react to this. I have a feeling the hospital is going to have a lot more to deal with now that this story is out.

I will be right there with you with the loans. Like pat8585 said, I look at it as an investment, one with a wonderful return. Does it stink, having to do it? Absolutely. But I think it will be...

I'm in the same boat as K girl. I will be pretty much living off of my student loans come fall. That being said, I did all of my pre-req's part-time to avoid having to take out loans before I...

I too have been getting a ton of motivation from this site. And one of my favorite quotes (which I think I just posted on another thread this morning) is keeping me going too: "One half of knowing...

Definitely sending you prayers and positive thoughts!! And congrats!

The more I read on this site, the more secure and right I feel about my choice to become a nurse. Thank you!

I have a coworker that does not even attempt to pronounce words correctly. And when I get frustrated and correct her, she brushes it off with a "Yeah, whatever." Really chaps me when she mutilates...

I know a woman who name her daughter Blue Rose. Why would you inflict that on a child??

I just got accepted to the ADN program at my college for the fall and I know I would have been devastated to have put in all that time and effort just to be told the doors were closing. My heart...

Will definitely agree on the subjectivity of the "minimum" GPA. SPC claims 2.5 but I've seen people with a 3.6 get rejected. It can be extremely frustrating. I applied 4 times before I finally...

Sending you big hugs!! For what it's worth, I started having severe shoulder pain a little over a year ago. After tons of tests and meds and useless crap, I was finally diagnosed with fibromyalgia....

"One half of knowing what you want is knowing what you must give up before you get it." --Sidney Howard "Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional." --M. Kathleen Casey "There is no...

I know St Petersburg College looks at your GPA for the pre-req's and not the overall.

I will be starting in the fall as well. My first thought when I recovered from the excitement of getting my acceptance letter was "now what?" My whole focus to this point had been working on...

I am all for the safeguards put in place by the hospitals to avoid mix-ups like this (i.e., checking the bracelets, rooming in, etc). However, I wonder where either mother's responsibility is in...

I will be starting nursing school in August and this really helped me to see the kind of nurse I want to strive to be. Thank you.
