   I'm so strongly for keeping myself healthy especially when you're in school! I religiously went to the gym at least 3 times a week after my first semester in school and it helped me a lot in controlling my stress and my body didn't feel so sluggish i...

   DJ Bertrix replied to nrsbetsy's topic in General Students

   No way ... you're never too old to go back to school! My mother went back to school for nursing when she was in her early 50s and did so well in all her classes. It's been about 10 yrs since she finished school and she's still working! She loves her ...

    DJ Bertrix replied to pispis33's topic in California

    I don't know where you're (carter1228) hearing this from, but I graduated from ELAC and I totally disagree with you that ELAC's program is horrible. The teachers are great. They are very helpful and professional. The only relationships I built with m...
