Ohhh that family member one is a great idea, thank you! I'm a visual learner so if I can picture them, I can picture what's going on. Thanks again!

Congratulations to all of you starting tomorrow - or soon. I remember that feeling - it was such an adrenaline rush. I was so paranoid about oversleeping, I set my alarm clock and 3 alarms on my phone just in case. Tomorrow will be the intro stuff - kinda boring but still so exciting! Anyone going to Sentara in VA? Good luck & behave - fight nice with the other kids! LOL p/s - I go back tomorrow too - I just had a 6-week break.

Hey, we talking about the same guy? LOL - sounds sooooo familar.

OMG FANTASTIC!!!!

What an awesome idea!! How much does this cost (about)?

This is the exact reason our instructor only posts 4 weeks of assignments at a time. I wish you the best of luck and try not to focus on everything at once, maybe?

Im another night owl - I stayed up til 3 am last night and woke up at 8:30 so I'll hopefully be tired enough to go to sleep tonight for my 1st day of school tomorrow! I also try drinking a warm tea (Earl Grey - its the only hot tea I like & it's decaffeinated) about an hour before bed when I have to go to bed early & get up early. My body just functions WAYYY better at night - wish I could figure it out too. Good luck!

Sorry to hear this ... Because of that reason, I transferred to another nursing program. I have an Associates Degree & some other college - with the transfer credits they counted towards my 'satisfactory progress' of the course .... I ended up being over, WAY over. Which I think is B.S. ALL of my TRANSFER credits is what the community college took in to consideration -- it wasnt even the ones that went towards my nursing degree ... I had like 35+ credits transfer but only 8 or 12 applied towards my nursing degree and I was told I was over the limit. It somewhat makes sense - they dont want anyone being a professional student but on the other hand - those old credits (from 17 yrs ago) have caused me a lot of grief. The community college I was attending even told me I was NOT allowed to get loans. That blew me away and I instantly looked for new places to get my RN schooling. I found a school that doesnt count transfer credits - thankfully. Maybe you can too?

I think you need to go back to bed and wake up on the other side, cuz apparently you woke up on the wrong side. I'm 37 and I'm one of "those" old people pursuing a nursing degree. I wish you luck - just remember, the career you choose in your 20s may not be what you want to do in your 30s. And lol - funny enough, it also may change again in your 40s and 50s. Good thing is - its YOUR life and you get to choose what you want. A positive attitude goes a long way .... hope you find your calling.

I am most definitely interested in your books! I have all of lvl 1 - but 2-5 would be great. Ya - we got the new uniforms. It's a diploma right now but they said they would grandfather people in when they get their 4 yr going next year. So, if I choose that route, I'm really not out AND that helps having that degree because I want to go on eventually for NP. Any advice? My biggest questions right now LOL are: 1. Are ROLLING backpacks really necessary? 2. Do you carry your books to school everyday? Thanks and congrats to you!

Ok - I'm ready ... have books, have uniforms ordered, have pens/supplies ..... My house is in order and I've said goodbye to my family. (jk on that last part) Anyone ready to start on Monday? Have you logged into blackboard and seen the assignments? Have you started reading/doing the assignments? :typing Well - Happy New Year and see ya on Monday! I'm going to :tbsk: until then! LOL

I see ... ugh. What a dilemma for you. I truly hope things turn around for you! p/s - Please come back and update us on what you chose to do when you get it figured out!

I tried the peroxide the other day when my 11 yr old son came in with a bloody nose & a ton of blood on his clothes (gotta love air-soft guns) .... I CANNOT believe how well it worked! I was completely astonished - peroxide is now sitting in my laundry utility closet. Thanks for the tips!

Why would you have to transfer to another school? Why cant you just retake the semester? I cant imagine what you are feeling right now - I truly hope things turn around for you!
