So today I am outside of my office, and along comes a guy walking past me and stops to ask "Are you pregnant?" :angryfire (I am NOT pregnant, nor am I even fat..maybe a little bloated!) OK Im 5'11" and maybe 140lbs... So I just stare at him in sh...

I emailed the Nursing advisor about how competitive it actually is to get in, and she didn't really give me a straight answer. If I'm not making a 4.0, what are my chances?? I'm just now in my first pre-req class A&P and doing good so far, but ...

I am attending Collin County right now taking just pre-reqs, but I was wondering if any of the colleges around here have evening nursing programs? I know Collin County does not... Anyone know? Are they all daytime?

I had posted something on here when I was in the middle of fighting with my husband... you should read that..

Oh wow... I am in almost the SAME situation as you are, but have been in it a little longer. We had our son and got married 5 months later and have now been married for 3 years. We moved to Texas from Oklahoma after the wedding and I left my famil...

OK, so I'm not even in Nursing school yet, I'm still working on my pre-requisites... BUT I am excited to start and have really been reading a lot of these forums and researching different fields of Nursing.. BUT the other night I had to take my husba...

Hey I feel the same way!! I was actually just thinking about it last night in class. When I start a new class it always seems like everyone is in there with a friend so everyone is already partnered up and I am always alone. I don't even have a lab...

So, I am in pre-nursing right now, taking just A&P 2 because I only have time for one class due to full time job and a 3 year old attached to my side when I'm at home. I have a lab practical and a lecture exam coming up NEXT week (both in the s...

Oh, I just remembered what word I used as a little girl... I called my vagina a "Lee-Lee" and my butt a "BoBo" I guess that's what my mom called it when she spoke to me so I got it from her! So far I haven't heard anyone else use Lee Lee or Connie....

HAHAHAHAH OMG!!! :rotfl::rollThat is HILARIOUS. I can't stop laughing.

Well...I don't have patients yet but my friends and I made up the word "Connie" aka vagina, in junior high, and it stuck. My 2 year old son calls breasts "Boobits" Not sure where it came from!

Im in pre-nursing now, but when my grandmother was in the hospital for surgery and on pain meds, she told her male nurse "Let's get out of here, take me out of here on your motorcycle!!!" haha She is usually very serious and conservative so I thoug...

I am having trouble opening the notes.... ?

Me too!! Start in January CCCCD in Plano TX. SOOOOOO glad for this break right now!

When I do apply, I was planning on just applying at CCCCD, which is where I am going now for my pre-reqs. BUT I have been reading some of these threads and a lot of people are applying at multiple schools to make sure they get in somewhere. I don't...

Ok, I see.

I'm confused.... I'm not a nurse so maybe I'm not understanding. I thought that the patient had a right to their own records if they wanted them. ??? Why can't you give them a copy of their own records???

I work for a Wound Care Supplier, and we do billing. If you are interested you should definately call and speak with our owner (my mother in law) We are in Richardson Texas, but have clinics all over the U.S. We could get a rep. in your facility t...

Try Juzo, Medi, or Jobst...

You should try some medical gradient compression stockings. I actually work for a Lymphedema treatment facility... You can try looking up a few brands... Jobst, Medi, Juzo to name a few. They work really well (and some insurances will pay for them)

Yeah this is great, thanks for all the advice. I feel a little more encouraged now. I just have to learn how to block out the sound! The sound is the worst part for me. Maybe I can sneak in an IPOD!! haha OH WELL I'll get through it I guess.

So who is having fun yet?? We have already dissected the sheep brain and the cow eyeball (which was awesome)... Does anyone know any good tips or secrets to memorizing the cranial and spinal nerves and all that goes with that stuff. I feel like my ...

I am still working on my pre-req classes, so I am debating on whether or not to start trying for baby #2 now or after I finish school. I am thinking now just because I have a 2 year old and I want them to be close in age, also I doubt I could handle...

Wow thank you all so much for your opinions. It has given me more perspective and different ways to look at my situation. I still have a lot to think about but I am pretty sure I have made up my mind on what to do. I'm VERY motivated and being pre...

WOW!! I was expecting people to think it was a good idea! Now I REALLY have a lot to think about. UGH it is so hard because my body is saying "BABY NOW!!!!" You know, I have the "baby fever" and I can't stop thinking about babies. So it will be ha...
