I'm going to be a junior in a BSN program, but I do know a friend with Marfan syndrome. It is a syndrome of the connective tissue if i can remember right. Its categorized by very long limbs, and people with the disease are at a great risk of cardiac problems because the major vessels can become very thin. The person I know with it had major cardiac surgery when he was only 5 years old. I also know that the disorder can affect your eyesight too. Hope this helps

I took the psych statistics course over the math one. My advisor told me that it would be more relevant. "if you want to be a farmer and count cows, take the math statistics course, but if you want a class that will pertain more to what you are doing, take the psych one". I believe the psych course was harder than the math one at my school (I go to the university of RI), but it wasn't that bad and I found it more interesting I think than a math one. hope this helps

I am also a nursing student and volunteer at Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence, RI. Hasbro has parent banding. Their website is http://www.lifespan.org and just click on hasbro children's hospital for information.
