Kyle's Mom

Well, I just spent ten days in the hospital. My Crohn's disease is flaring up pretty badly, and... I've had to withdraw from school for the rest of the spring semester. The neatest thing is that I was able to do the 'camera pill endoscopy,' or what...

I know this isn't a "life or death," issue, but after the first week of microbiology, I'm really nervous! I am re-taking it in order to get a better grade; I originally took micro approx. 12 yrs ago and received a C. Now that I'm hoping to go to nu...

Thank you all for your words of encouragement! At 32, I'm just feeling a little unsure about doing as well as I am hoping to do :uhoh21: I know I will succeed - thanks again!!!

After starting school this week, all I really want to do is pass microbiology. If I do that and make it to clinicals, I'd love to be a peds nurse :)

I'm not an RN, yet.... but I do have Crohn's. I have had six Remicade infusions over the past two years and have never had any severe reactions. The only thing I've noticed is that approximately 12-24 hrs after the infusion, I experience flu-like s...

Congratulations and best wishes to you both!!!!! My husband and I eloped to Las Vegas almost seven years ago - was the best thing we ever did!!! :kiss

I haven't put too much thought into resolutions this year, but these are the goals I'm aiming for: 1. Finally finish my prereqs 2. Pray that I will be accepted to begin nursing school in Jan. 04 3. Be more patient with our 3 yr old, and... 4. Try...

I am hoping to work at the children's hospital we have here, probably med/surg. I have Crohn's, like Tweety, and really want to do everything I can to help the kids and teens who have this rotten disease. I had such a hard time when I was a teenage...

I registered yesterday - Micro., Women's Health Issues, Statistics and Texas Government (why?! ugh. )

I'm interested in opinions about statistics, for those of you who have taken it. The program I'm hoping to get into requires it, but they do not have any pre reqs to that course. I'm just curious how difficult it is, and if I can handle it with onl...

If anyone is in the TWU program, I would love to hear what you think of it. I'm starting in January, with about two semesters of prereqs to go - I have a few liberal arts classes to finish, then I can apply to their program. Thanks!

My Intro. Chemistry class was, although a broad overview, pretty intense. I took it during a summer semester & got an A. I'm going to take A&P II over to hopefully get a better grade. I only made a B- & I really need to try for an A to...

MK, Thank you and everyone for your advice!

MK, Thank you and everyone for your advice!

If you need any insight from someone who has been suffering with Crohn's for 18 yrs, let me know. I would be happy to answer any questions you have. I've had so many other complications, other than strictly g.i. issues.

I have Crohn's Disease, and back in the 80's, before Asacol, Imuran and Remicade, (my miracle drug! :) ) I was on super high doses of prednisone. All I did was eat, eat, eat! I couldn't stop!!! The last time I was on prednisone, about three years ...

Hello all, I am hoping you might have some insight as to what happened to me after a very recent hospitalization. I have had Crohn's Disease for 18 years, diagnosed when I was 14. I've had a rough road over the years w/multiple resections, etc., b...

Frankie, Thank you for your response! I have had three Remicade infusions - that drug has been a Godsend!!! When I was a teenager (mid-80's) all that was really available was high doses of prednisone when my Crohn's flared. I have asked my GI doc...

Transfering into TWU in January to finish up a few prereqs. Hope this will only take 2 or 3 semesters (going part time), then will apply to their BSN program.

My mother, and RN for almost 35 years, is a "diploma nurse." When I was in high school & was thinking about nursing, she tried to encourage me to enter a diploma program, if I could find one. She is convinced that this was the best way to get y...

Adolescents/Pediatrics, preferrably w/GI patients, since I've had Crohn's Disease most of my life. I would love to be able to help the kids that have to put up with this awful disease!!

Welcome, Jennifer!! Hope you enjoy it here! Everyone is so supportive and helpful. I am a 32 year old Mom, returning to college after a ten year absence, finishing up a few prereqs on a part time basis, before I begin nursing school. Best of luck...

My father-in-law was at MD Anderson, in Houston, last fall for treatment of lymphoma. They actually had Room Service. He ordered an awesome, fresh fruit plate when he felt like eating. One evening I ordered some of the best potato soup I've ever h...
