i will graduate from brgson next friday! school starts each day at 8:30 am and ends anywhere from 11:30 to 4:00. you will usually attend monday - friday, but sometimes you will get a day off during the week. when you start clinicals (in march) they are from 6:45 am to 3:00pm, two days a week. some semesters clinicals are on thur/fri and some are on tue/wed. there is a lot of paperwork to do before and after each clinical day so do not plan to do anything else on clinical days! if you have anymore questions and i don't answer on here (i don't get on here much), you may e-mail me at [email protected] (until dec 7) then [email protected] ! good luck! deb

i am a senior student at brgson. i researched all the local schools and asked around before i started. i heard then and now hear often, that the brg grads are well trained and ready to be nurses. the teachers at the school really care about each student and make every effort to help you succeed. it is a very challenging program and many do not make it. we started with a class of 46 and now have 25 or the original class. you must make an 80% average to pass. i had a 4.0 on my prereqs, but haven't had an a average since! no one in the class does! so it is a wonderful school, but you must be prepared to study, study, study and to attend 5 days a week. a few work while attending, but this makes it even more difficult. i don't mean to be negative, but just trying to present a realistic picture.

definately get this checked out. my daughter (25) also felt like this. she was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma with two large tumors in her mediastinum last march. she is doing well now, but had been having the lump, and severe itching everywhere for over a year. she was put on xanax, ativan, visteril, lortab, etc. she was told it was just anxiety. when she started coughing up chunks of yellow sputum they took an chest x-ray and saw the mass.
