Reading-first I did a book report on Clara Barton in 4th grade, then later, read all the Cherry Ames books I could get my hands on. Never knew anyone who was a nurse and my particular school nurse, I only met when I blew a cap off and needed to go home and see a dentist. In those days, you either taught, were a secretary, or got married.I didn't like any of those choices. i had a friend whose sister was going to nursing school, she talked me into it. here i am semi-retired after many years-OB/GYN and Peds, school and college nursing and teaching. You never know where life will lead.

Definitely maggots in a wound! I've seen a lot of vomit,mucous,feces,ugly rashes,terrible smells in my day-but ga gangrene and maggots beat all.

Good news, i'm glad you are going for help and I also are taking a Landmark course. The seats were so uncomfortable! The message is one you have heard before, but you do let go of things and see life in a new way-some swear by it and get really involved.One lady who I knew slightly, had lost her husband and was depressed and went to a Forum, and started dating again. It is not for everyone, and personally I found Cursillo which is Christian oriented, a better fit for me. Just stay open to any messages that come through and you'll do fine. keep us posted.

Hi-I just read your post.Gee 25 seems old to you, but soooo young to me at 58! Enjoy yourself, travel, get out and meet people,join activities at a Y, church, plays,social events. I have a friend who married at 29, my husbands mother married at 42. My own grandmother was in her late 40's and still had 2 kids. BREATHE! There is time for marriage and time for kids. Do you have any pets,they can fill the lonliness space. LISTEN TO THE OTHERS ABOUT dEPRESSION. You have classic symptoms and medication may help. Be good to yourself and check back and let us all know how you are doing.

Hilarious! Here's cute one from school. The pre-schoolers were waiting their turns for a health assessment. The nurse was using tongue blades through the hair to check for pediculosis, one boy said" what is she doing," a little girl answered as if he was stupid_"CHECKING FOR HEADLIGHTS"! I didn't find any cars that day lol!
