I just want to add my own experience as a way for others to maybe learn....Several years ago I fractured my coccyx, it was not seen on x-ray at first but was suspected...I went back to the ER a couple of days later because my PCP could not schedule m...

After coming here for months and reading posts, I feel I owe it to all of you to share my story and thank you for sharing yours with me. One word of advice is do NOT schedule your exam for the last week that you are approved to. I had to have my gall...

I passed!!!!!

Thanks everyone. The wait is awful

I know exactly how you feel, lol. It's awful and all I want to do is tell everyone I passed.

Hi, if you need any more help feel free to ask. My son is autistic and I use many behavior modification techniques. Routine is key! Charts work great in setting goals and giving rewards. Make a chart for them to see their progress. Start small - pick...

Ok, maybe I can help. I have been a hairdresser for sixteen years and am currently a nursing student. I make good money and the company I work for does provide medical and retirement benefits. I do work nights and weekends and you will need to do tha...

Hi, I wanted to know if anyone could provide me with some insight. Yesterday my clinical instructor told me she had to ask me something and to not read into it. I said ok and she asked me if I had speech coaching? I said no why would you think that. ...

Thanks everyone. I'm not going to focus on it any longer. At 36 years old I think that it would have been brought to my attention a long time ago if something was wrong with the way I talked. I'm still a little curious as to what she meant by the com...

No she didn't say what it was. Everyone I have talked to said how odd of a comment it was for her to make and they never heard me speak in a tone that was abnormal or odd in any way. I'm really at a loss as to what she would be referring to.

Hi everyone! I hope its not to late to join your group. I could use the support. I'm in my second semester of nursing school and over the course of doing prereq's I have put on about 25 lbs. I have to run for now but will post later. Thanks Stacy

Hi, I'm 35 and in my first semester of an adn program. I have 3 kids 16,11,&8. I work part-time as a hairdresser and so far everything is going good. Right now things are not that much different than pre req's but I know that will change. I defin...

It is definitely doable with careful planning. I am a single mom of three kids (16,11,&8) My middle son is autistic and I work. I have time to study, clean, & still make time to have a social life. I waited to go back to school until my young...

Thank you to everyone who participated in this discussion. I have a son who is diagnosed with Autism. There was a time when he received numerous vaccines in one day that resulted in him having to be hospitalized. Although, I was very much aware of Me...

I'm a hairdresser. The pay is great but working all weekends stink but I still have benefits so I'm not going to complain to much.

I can completely relate to your situation. I am a divorced mom of three children, my middle son has multiple disabilities. I sold my house and moved back in with my mother and paid off the rest of her mortgage so that I could go back to school and st...

Hi everyone. Today at 9:00 I have to report for orientation. I will let all of you know how it went later on tonight. To all of you who have been stessing about your upcoming orientation, stop! I have literally made myself physically sick. I started ...

Thanks everyone for all your replies and good thoughts. I'm starting to feel a little better today. I still have to go to the hospital and get my id badge and finish up the last of my chirstmas shopping. Kenny, I'm glad to see your not mad, I didn't...

I thinks it's doable. Your kids are at good ages. I'm a divorced mother of three kids 16, 11, & 8, and I have always worked while going to school. If you have a boss that will work with you that is even better. I have worked for the same company ...

I start nursing school in January so I can't offer you a whole lot of insight on your situation. At our school I believe that you are aloud to repeat one failed nursing course before being kicked out of the program. I would find someone at your schoo...

Hi Tiffany! I'm really happy for you and I wish you the best of luck with your program. I left some information for you over in the other post that I think will help your son. If you need anything just pm me.

Hi Kenny and everyone else. Kenny, I was the other Stacy who was sitting next to the Stacy you were talking to. I had the green sweater on. Sorry, I was so not myself today at all. I was feeling worse and worse as the day went on freezing with a feve...

Hi Tiffany. I'm so sorry for not be around as much especially with every thing you have going on. I know that your son has had multiple evaluations that led to multiple diagnoses, do you have a copy of them? I believe you son is three years old, rig...

Thank you so much for the warm welcome. I really appreciate it. I will defintely participate in the boards and share my experiences with everyone. God knows I'm going to need all the help I can get. Tiffany, I believe it was you who had made a previo...

Congrats bunkindoodle!:balloons: I have also been accepted to the January class at Frankford. My name is Stacy and I am a former lurker who has decided to come out an introduce myself. Everyone who is waiting on letters, your time is coming and we wi...
