hum, well that almost sounds like nurses only treat the small stuff. i'm just taking my pre-reqs right now, but the thought of my duties of being a nurse is pretty intense. just imagine, (if you will) that one mistake could cost someone their life. it's a lot more than just dealing with a cut or broken finger. it's knowing and retaining all that you're learning in school so you know exactly what you're doing. kudos to all the nurses~!

:chuckle:chuckle LOL, I was cracking up while I read these, way too funny. Thanks so much for the laughs this afternoon, I needed them!!

that is a good idea on the color coding. i might try something like that myself. :) my math and english classes start oct. 21, but i'm doing those online i'm just glad to be starting after so many trips to ivy tech! anyone going to be starting the nursing program in 09 at bloomington?

:bow: thank you sooooo much! i'll have a look at these and i'm sure it will help. thanks to all of you for your help and comments.....:redpinkhe

lol....ok, i'll do just that! :eek: thanks everyone!! :heartbeat

awesome! now i feel better knowing that. i was thinking all my hopes and dreams of going to school were coming to a halt. i'm going in and talking to someone this morning so i hope all goes well. wish me luck~! :anpom: and thank you for all the comments about this. you all are so wonderful and so helpful!!! :heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat

does anyone know if you get back your fafsa and it says you're not eligible, does that mean you're not going to get into school at ivy tech? has anyone had this happen? if so, were you able to get your financial aid working with an advisor? (financial advisor) thanks in advance~!

Thanks you guys for the information and help. :redpinkhe I guess I tend to forget we all have to start somewhere and we're not just 'born' with all there is to know about nursing. Maybe it's because the nurses I've encountered over the years have made it just seem so easy and maybe I put it out of my mind or didn't stop to think they too had to learn all of this. I guess I should think back to when I began as a CNA, it was all new to me then too, just not as complicated! (LOL) I still remember how to do all the deeds of a CNA. It really never leaves you and becomes a part of who you are. Plus, the fact I used to work at a Plasma center, so I know a little bit about palpating and I was pretty good on all my sticks. I never hit the wall of a vein, so that's something good to keep in the back of my mind as well. I guess I'm looking into this a little more than I should. I just need to relax and take it one step at a time. I just want to do the best job possible in school and I think that's what bugs me the most. You hear all these horror stories and it really does begin to take root inside of you. Anyway, thanks again for the helpful advice! I love this site so much! :heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat

LOL! :yeah::yeah:Ain't that the truth :fnypst:

i have a question for everyone, but first let me begin by saying i'm not in school yet. i'm just waiting for my fafsa and then the fun will begin i'm sure. my question is, how in the world do you memorize everything? i've been doing some studying on my own for a & p and i have to say i'm a bit overwhelmed! i started watching a webcast from berkeley taking notes and really getting into it and then it occurred to me..... i need help! (lol) how did you or how are you, memorizing everything? let alone trying to remember how to spell all these bones, cells and muscles? yikes!!! anyway, i was hoping someone had an idea of how to take all this in.... thanks!

:yeah: CONGRATS!

keeping everyone in my thoughts and prayers. :redpinkhe

very cool! i've had years of experience as a cna, many moons ago. i worked as a cna for about 9 years before i became a stay at home mom which i have plenty of experince in, do they hand out a prize for that? cause i never got mine (lol)

bravo~! :yeah:

:yeah: WOOHOO, good for you!
