how awesome. i love running into scrappers in non obvious places!! someone on here just suggested i scrap my acceptance letter, and i did... and it looks kinda cool. check it out on my blog! :) would love to see some of your stuff sometime!!

lol judging by the answers... should I sell all my SB supplies now? :)

When you are a nursing student... are you still able to find time for hobbies that you enjoy doing? If so, what do you like to do? I am a scrapbooker, and I hope that I can find time to do it when I am in school... today I just finished scrapbooking my "acceptance letter." It looks really neat, and I have put it up on my blog!

Hi, I shared a quote yesterday..."worrying is like paying interest on money that you don't even owe yet." So try and relax, and think of something else... that letter will come and you will be surprised! Do things to keep your mind off of it... do something outside that you enjoy, go shopping, go to a movie, read a book. Do something that will keep your mind busy.... and then when someone else checks the mail and hands you the letter, you will be super surprised!

I heard this quote today, and wanted to pass it along to all of you who are still awaiting acceptance letters.... "Don't worry... worrying is like paying interest on money you don't even owe yet!" :) Good luck everyone, can't wait to hear your news, as I know the time is near!

As far as areas... I would go anywhere outside of the central area. I live in the south end of town... probably one of the best areas ehehe I a biased? Fort Garry, River Heights, Charleswood, ummm Maples, Garden City... those are my suggestions... I grew up in Elmwood... a lot of people say it's a horrible neighbourhood, but I never experienced any violence or anything like that... I would still recommend East Kildonan/North Kildonan as a good place to start... but again that's my opinion. My least likely place to live... North End. I can't think of anything else really... ??

janfrn, I must say that I don't know much about the PICU at the hospital... I just know there is one. Are these problems management related, doctor's, nurses??? I wonder what's going on... those are some very sad tales, that break my heart. I must admit, as an adolescent I was in an abusive relationship that had lead me to some serious depression... and I stayed there, albeit for a very short time... but I found the nurses themself so wonderful, and so hopeful. There was even a nurse who helped by taking one of my "garments" home to sew it!:blushkiss

janfrn - has stated lots of stuff!! :) I just wanted to add that the Health Sciences has both an adult and an adolescent (and child I believe) in and out patient psychiatric ward. True, the area is not the greatest... which is kind of dissapointing because that's a main hospital... :/ Insurance rates on cars aren't that bad compared with other provinces IMO. I have a 10 year old buick that I pay $65 a month in insurance for lol. It's in perfect condition, even now! :) I believe the housing market is slowing down a little now, because of the interest rates climbing.... just like anywhere, there is "booms" of a buyer and seller markets... and I am sure things will be stable for awhile. Or just get a condo! lol Yes, Winnipeg may have a higher crime rate, but it is still a WONDERFUL city to live in... with lots of big hearted people. I have lived elsewhere, and I came back. I honestly wouldn't want to live anywhere else... except maybe hawaii! hehe! I am very proud to call Winnipeg my home!

congratulations!

Hi Welcome. I live in Winnipeg, and we are the most affordable housing in Canada! Also, Winnipeg is top 3 on most of affordable in all of North America. The winters are really cold, -30 on average but the summers can get just as hot!! There is a psych ward at the health sciences centre. I don't know much more though!! If you give me some time, I can give you tons of info on our city... but I have to go to class!! Bye! and good luck!

can stethoscopes be "tested" before they are bought?? again, thx for all the help! :)

I will keep my eyes open for a littmann select... or a littmann classic II?? I guess I am really confused whether it's better if a stethoscope has double tubing or not?? Thx for the help guys!

congratulations!!
