If she had deterination and will, she wouldn't be giving up in the 9th grade. Maybe she suffers from a mood disorder? Talking to the school counselor might be the best place for her to
I have never had an image of nurses wearing white. I always think of nurses as wearing scrub tops with animals and hearts all over them. Which annoys me. What adult wears a shirt with hearts and...
First on the topic of The College Networ-k be very cautious with them. If you search "The College Network" on these threads, you will get a lot of hits from people with bad experiences with them. I...
To the guy who makes his daughter do exercises as punishment... While that is a better approach than hitting, I do wonder how it will effect her down the road. In her mind running = punnishment. So...
I'm going to go against the grain here... 25 seems too old to be relying on parents. I say find roomates to make you rent cheaper or see if you can rent a room from someone that lives near campus....
LOL sorry, just trying to imagine a long-haired guy with a bun. Most men with long hair are the rebellious type. Wearing a feminine bun doesn't seem to fit. No offense, just the image I have in my...
I'm not to OP, as I agree with you about the hair and nail polish, but in reference to scrubs, I am in no way trying to "hook-up" LOL I'm happily married. I feel uncomfortable in loose scrubs. I am...
I understan why you can't have your hair down and wear nail polish, but I wore those Gery's Anatomy scrubs that are a little fitted to my CNA clinicals, and the instructor, who will also teach...
It is not only part of the fight or flight response, but when the fof response is stimulated, as in a stressful situation, one of the things that happens is we need to
The need to pee is part of the fight or flight response. Stress triggers this response. If you've ever seen an animal very scared, they spray urine and feces everywhere. The same thing is going on...
I think tumors in young children are pretty rare. It is common for nursing students to think they and their loved ones have every possible disease based on a few symptoms. I'm sure she'll be fine,...

Stanley- it seems that your mother was probably very young when she dropped out of school, and probably waited a few years before going to the army. The point I've been trying to make is that it is...

Shouldn't graduating high school be a clear goal? I know what you mean too, having a clear goal of being a nurse is helping me to be much more focused in school this time around. Maturity has also...

I agree that people who drop out in the 9th grade can go on to do great things. But to think that you cannot handle high school, but will immediately be able to handle college, is unrealistic. I think...

I do have a question for all the GED holders who are now LPNs/RNs. How many of you went directly to a nursing program (and graduated) immediately after dropping out of h.s.? That may help the O.P....

At 16, it can seem as if you know everything there is to know about life and are fully grown. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. High school is such a life experience. You figure out who you are, who...

I'm doing the LPN, then LPN-RN program. Yes, technically I'll be in school 1 semester longer than if I went straight through to RN, but since I won't have to be on the waiting list for 1st-semester RN...
Is this a private college? It seems that a lot of people have similar complaints about a lot of private colleges. They really seem to be in it for the money. I'm glad I chose a public school. Cheaper...
My reaction would be to take my next paycheck and hand her a resignation letter, explaining that you cannot work for less than you were hired at, and then start looking for
Have you checked into your local WIA program? It is through the unemployment office. Everyone (and I mean every single person) in my LPN class gets assistance through them for shoes, uniforms,...
What about a gift basket with a variety of stuff in it? My boss gets them all the time and places them on the break room table and we get to fight over what we want (lol). They are usually full of...
