I know that's right. When I'm out and see someone with a big brand new SUV I think to myself they're in so much debt I'm glad I'm not in their shoes. I try to tell my son who is 9 that bigger and better is not always the best. What will they do if they have an accident that impairs them from working? They will lose it all.

You'r never to old to learn something new. I am 30 and am working on my ADN. I will be done with that in 2 years. I want to continue online to get my BSN and ultimately get my MSN to teach. I had a nursing class with a man that was in his 60's.

It seems that each school wants different pre-requs. I have been working on mine for 3 years now and have had to transfer 3 times. I have gone through some frustrating things this last semester at school. I have been in the lower division nursing program at a school for a year now. My advisor was changed without notifying me. They changed the class registration process, which I had no clue. You must make an appointment with your advisor to get an access code before the day of registration and they are going in alphabetical order(A-L Monday, M-Z Tuesday). Then if you don't get the classes on your day you must wait until the next week. If a lower division student registers for any nursing classes they are subject to be taken out of the classes a week before classes begin if any upper division students need the classes. By the time I could register there were no classes left for me to take. The tuition there is so high I can't see myself paying for classes that I don't need to take, just to have something to take. So I decided to transfer to a two year college. I would of been in the upper division in the fall. I feel pretty bad about it, but I think it must of happened to me for some reason. I will just have to get my BSN online.

That doesn't sound legal to me. You might want to reconsider and take the class elsewhere.

Hi, I too am a diabetic and have been one for 17years now. I have type I. I live in Tennessee and we are having major cuts in our Medicaid known as TennCare. They have cut thousands of individuals from the program. Those who are still able to receive the assistance are greatly limited to which drugs they can get and what services are covered. I am one of those lucky individuals who as of right now has not been cut. Unfortunately Tennessee would rather pay for emergency room visits than pay for life sustaining medication. It infuriates me that so many people will die just because they don't want to take money away from something else, like our state lottery, to help the situation. I just wonder where all that money is going. When I first became a diabetic I was able to visit a specialist and a nutritionist. Now I see my PCP. He is a good doctor, but I feel I know more about my condition than he does. I actually try my best to keep my blood sugar down. I don't want to have any complications. If my blood sugar gets up to the 180's I literally feel sick. I check it often and take my Humalog when needed. I too drink the regular soda. I just make sure I take enough insulin to cover it. I don't like the taste of the diet soda. I do think that it is the responsibility of the patient to manage their diabetes on a day to day basis. However the patient needs to get check-ups at least every 6 months to have the hemoglobin A1C done. It would really hard to blame a diabetic for their complications because it is a known fact that one becomes diabetic and dosen't realize they are until they address some symptom they are having. They could of had this for several years and didn't know. The complications they have may have come from those years.
