  2. Do you have a diagnosis of mental illness?

    Lori RN_09_2b replied to LadyBugLass's topic in General Nursing

    I was diagnosed almost twenty years ago with bipolar order, and Ladybug, I understand the hell you've been through. I remember one crisis center "expert" who told me I needed a class in self-esteem....

    Lori RN_09_2b replied to lc3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got A's in micro and A&P. mostly because I (at that time) was only taking one or two courses and was a stay-at-home mom, so could spend LOTS and LOTS of time studying. It seemed like most of the...

    Hi! Like Kayel, I'm also 43 and will be entering year two of a four year program. Going back to school is the best thing I've ever done! It made absolutely no difference getting into the program, and...

  5. What does it take?

    Lori RN_09_2b replied to jewelz78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Been there, done that! I got to a point in my life when I wanted a CAREER, not just another job. Nursing appears to be the perfect fit (though I'm just entering year two of a four-year program--check...

  6. Is there any hope for me? please help

    Lori RN_09_2b replied to klar26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You've already shown your determination by boosting your D's to B's, and if nursing is what you really want, DON'T give up. I have a friend whose A&P and micro grades weren't as high as she would...

  7. Ahh so confused... Please help.

    Lori RN_09_2b replied to wackyj2000's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's pretty confusing figuring out the order in which to take everything. I took A&P I and II, then micro, then chemisty--none in the same semester. I loved A&P and Micro but HATED...

  8. shoes for aching backs

    Lori RN_09_2b posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've found lots of threads with info about good shoes for aching feet, but my problem is my lower back. A couple hours in the mall with bad shoes leaves me hardly able to bend over, so I know I need...

  9. shoes for aching backs

    Lori RN_09_2b replied to Lori RN_09_2b's topic in General Nursing

    I think I'd be able to tolerate the squeaking. The noise would certainly be better than the noise of me whining after my back starts hurting. Not to mention the moans, groans, and occasional...

    Thanks, Amy! I've been hearing great things about Dansko, and it sounds like they might be the first ones I try. What style do you

  11. How many pregnancies are too many?

    Lori RN_09_2b replied to L&D_2b's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If you're healthy and love having kids, go for it. I have a friend that's 43 and is pregnant with #12--no health problems for her at all, and she loves every minute of it. Having a larger family isn't...

  12. Bipolar Nurses

    Lori RN_09_2b replied to Always a Catch 22's topic in General Nursing

    I'm also a bipolar nursing student, and actually never considered whether it would be an issue until I read a thread about it. My disorder is very much under control, and I rarely even think about...

    Hi! My daughter had the same condition. We were told that she was at an increased risk for kidney disease, Down's Syndrome, among other things. We were pretty worried for a while--the doctor almost...

  14. Just need a shoulder to cry on.....

    Lori RN_09_2b replied to dorselm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, I understand what you're feeling. I was all geared up for school, got through the application process and was waiting to hear that I was in--my school had never had a waiting list before, so I was...

  15. I can't figure out how to get over my anxiety ...

    Lori RN_09_2b replied to Wishonastar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, Megan, If it's any comfort, you won't actually have to dissect the cadavers, just observe them. I was a little worried about it at first, too, but within just a few minutes got really comfortable...
