   BChach replied to kammel's topic in General Students

   I took an online A&P 1 and 2 class with lab from Phoenix College in Phoenix, AZ (NOT be to confused with University of Phoenix) about 3 years ago because I was unable to commute to/from a lab. (Apparently it was good enough for Hopkins to accept ...

   BChach posted a topic in Government

4. what shoes do you wear...

   BChach replied to blee1's topic in Uniform/Gear

   My school requires blue or white shoes without open toes or laces. They specifically recommended Dankso and Klogs as two brands. The Klogs were comfortable but didn't breathe so well, I noticed, as they are polyurethane. They did feel good though. Th...

   BChach replied to agent's topic in Male Students

   Your post details how I feel at my graphics job too...this must be a universal experience. At any rate, yes it is tough to balance it all but you will feel fulfilled in the end. I took many courses online, which really helped me balance my daily lif...

7. question about transfer credits

   BChach replied to picurn10's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Schools tend to know if you have not submitted a transcript. In fact, when I applied to nursing school, the admissions office told ME which transcripts they were waiting for even before I had a chance to tell them they were en route! I don't know how...

9. age ?

   BChach replied to disneydiva21's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am the older one of the bunch. I started my prereqs at 41. I just turned 42. I pretty much did them all in one year, working my butt off to get them out of the way for May entry to an accelerated program. I am going to JHU.

    BChach replied to agent's topic in Male Students

    I am originally from Rochester. I applied there, too, since my family is all there (I go there a lot as well). I haven't heard back from them since my interview, though. When did you hear, out of curiosity?

13. Gay male nurse stereotype?

    BChach replied to greygooseuria's topic in Male Students

14. Gay male nurse stereotype?

    BChach replied to greygooseuria's topic in Male Students

    Here is a slightly humorous story about stereotypes--and how they don't always hold true based on your experience of knowing no gay nurses in labor/delivery. My elderly grandfather has a home aide come to visit him once in a while. One day, about a y...
