I can see both directions, but I am much more right brained than left. After watching her go around and around, I'm getting a little motion sickness.

Lime up the behind. He explanation was that he slipped in the shower.

My friend has a condo in Columbia Heights and it'll be available for rent on August 1. She says it's 1 mile from WHC, and accessible to both green and red lines. PM me if you want more information.

I love my Dansko Professionals, but recently I've been wearing shoes from http://www.theshoeguys.com

1> How many times did you Apply to Nursing School?? One Time 2> Was it for an A.A, BSN, LVN/LPN? BSN (second degree) 3> What was your GPA??? My undergrad GPA was a 2.0, but I had graduated 10 years before applying. My pre-req's were a 4.0.

I used to work in animal welfare, and one of the risk factors to hoarding was working in a "caring" profession - nursing was one of them.

I have to agree- every city has it's negatives. My friend was in her last semester of nursing school at UMD in Baltimore. She and her husband kept waking up to dead people in their window well. No lie- stab victims, homeless people, you name it--...

That's right! I got myself all kinds of turned around :nuke:

A friend of mine recently got married and moved in with her husband. She has a condo in Columbia Heights that she's looking to rent out. I think, if I remember right, it's about 3 miles from WHC. You can email me or PM me, and I'll put you in con...

Before I started nursing school, my husband was a grad student and I was in the sole breadwinner. I worked in animal welfare--translation: the bottom of the barrel in non-profit work. Not only did I put hubby through grad school, but I bought a ho...

A 3.2 undergrad is a pretty good GPA. I made it into my program with a 2.0 undergrad (yes, I graduated by the skin of my teeth), but when I returned to take my pre-req's my GPA for those classes was a 4.0. Much of it will depend on the program that ...

My friend has a condo in Columbia Heights. She doesn't love it but I think it's fine. She's also a little bit of a princess. Columbia Heights in is transition and heading for the better. They're putting in a Target there, which will only improve t...

The Delta Society was the agency that I had my dog certified through. As for bringing your dog to your workplace, even on your days off, it might be a bad idea. While you are on shift, you have your scope or responsibilities, and they are to your p...

Item number 1- you're an adrenaline junkie. Go for the EMT. As an EMT, not only did I work in EMS, but I was able to get a job as a tech in the ER.

One of my favorite neighborhoods in DC is Woodley Park. The zip code is 20008. It's where the National Zoo is and is about 3 miles away from WHC. It has very much a neighborhood feel, very pedestrian friendly. It's quieter than Adams Morgan or Du...

I'm there now and I love it! I'm an older second degree student (I have a BA and several professional certifications in my previous field) with very high expectations of any academic setting that I'm in. There may have been some changes to the Mar...

Are you looking to live in the district? Or are parts of Northern Virginia and Maryland workable for you? Also something to consider are the hours and commute times. Rush hour in DC can turn a 10 mile drive into a 2 hour ordeal. 20878 isn't bad, b...

I was in the same boat as you--got my BA in 1997 and switching careers. Had my local community college been better organized, I would have stayed there and gotten my ADN and then done the RN to BSN or RN to MSN program at the state university. It's...

Noooooooo!! It will make you crazy. The commute to DC is horrendous. I used to live in Greenbelt (Just a few miles north east of the district and on the BW Parkway) and the commute was beyond painful. Depending on traffic, it could take 2 hours ...

I quit smoking 7 years ago, after smoking for 13 years. I didn't use the patch, gum, or anything. Just did it cold turkey. I'll tell ya- it was really hard at first. Busy hands helped but one can't always keep their hands busy. Going out with m...

I've heard this saying before, and I've seen it in other professions; however, nurses don't always eat their young. I've been fortunate to have encountered some really great and inspiring nurses during clinicals.

Coworker/classmate stink can be a touchy issue. I found that straight and to the point, prefaced by something positive about your relationship with them works well. I once had a lab partner that stank big time. I agonized over how to tell him--didn...
