  1. Socially anxious nursing student

    maggie0 replied to NZNursingstudent's topic in General Students

    Like Direwolf I am also a formerly shy person. I was *excruciatingly* quiet and so anxious I would literally shake when talking to strangers. Now I'm in my forties and will talk to anyone about...

  2. Portage Learning Classes

    maggie0 replied to rachelfaith2009's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As far as I can tell, any university that accepts online classes (and while most accept lecture classes online, some don't accept on-line labs) will accept Portage, because it is accredited through...

  3. Bathing Trouble

    maggie0 replied to FutureCota's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oh, man I have no advice, just sympathy! I remember giving my first bath alone--the poor resident and I were both terrified. And during my second bath, I had just gotten the resident out--still...

  4. Help! Desperately seeking advice before I turn my life upside down!

    maggie0 replied to Tempest626's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hahaha, are you me? I also have a BA in Creative Writing and two MAs, and want to leave teaching for nursing. (I actually love teaching, but I teach college students--and without a PhD I'll never get...

  5. Summer 2017 Chat

    maggie0 replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just added Microbiology to my summer schedule; it's basically the second half of General Bio which I just finished, so it's not adding to my schedule so much as extending the class. Still, that...

  6. Summer 2017 Chat

    maggie0 replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Funny you should say that, but I was actually JUST thinking I might take an extra year to finish my pre-reqs, as eager as I am to get started-- I mean, I hate the idea of "wasting" another year but...

  7. Syracuse Nursing

    maggie0 replied to adam3's topic in General Students

    Well, I'm still in the pre-nursing school stage, but I do live near Syracuse, so I can talk about the city a little bit. It is the medical hub of the area with lots of hospitals, and even though there...

  8. Fainting as a pre-nursing student

    maggie0 replied to celouk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used to faint a lot, but I haven't in years since I figured out a technique. It's partly a matter of sensing when it's going to happen. The minute I feel even a little bit of that fuzzy disconnect,...

  9. Summer 2017 Chat

    maggie0 replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It can be either one, apparently, as long as it's a two-semester

  10. Summer 2017 Chat

    maggie0 replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First time posting here, too! I'm taking A&P I, General Bio, Dev Psych, and Statistics this summer. Only one is in person, the rest are online. I'm a little bit overwhelmed already! But I've been...

  11. C Section Post-Op Rx

    maggie0 replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like pain management has improved since I had my last c-section, in 2000. I got zippo after the IV came out. When it was time to go home, I said to the nurses, You know, getting in the car...
