  1. Could I handle nursing school?

    Go for it and don't let being and "aspie" stop you. I personally have a close friend who is an aspie, so I kinda understand what it is like. The fact that you are considering nursing is highly commendable. You do have to be very strong to handle nurs...

    Take the pressure off. Don't say, I can't fail a third time. If you fail you fail. You may pass the 4th. Stay positive and don't put that much pressure on yourself. Overall your main concern is to pass, NO MATTER HOW MANY ATTEMPTS IT TAKES!!!!!!!!!!!...
  18. If you want it bad enough you will stick with it. There aren't as many rules in life as you may think. A portion of them we impose upon ourselves, such as will the school take me back? You won't know unless you apply. Show the school through academic...

    You don't need to be a rocket scientist to be a nurse unless you are a rocket scientist nurse, lol. Just kidding. Just work on the areas you are weak in.

    I am not sure what the programs work is like but at NVCC if you get less than a 78 you are out. Many people at NVCC get 76, 77.4 etc and are kicked out.
  24. Nutrition and pathophysiology missing in curriculum

    Taking a seperate class in patho would make things less complicated when learning the nursing info. It is interesting because at the school I go to, the teachers stress knowing patho but there isn't a seperate class in it and you are given bits and ...
