Hi Everyone- Just a quick question. How would you define the difference between a DISORDER, DISEASE, and SYNDROME? I know there's a difference, I just can't seem to find a simple way to define it. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi, I was just wondering if there is anyone who has gone to the College of Technology in MIssoula for nursing? That's where I'm going next year, right now I am in Helena until then. I'd love to hear from someone who went there about the classes, th...

I guess maybe with a tatto the needle doesn't stay IN you like an IV...

thanks i've just been dealing with this for sooo long, sometimes the only thing that keeps me going is that it is possible to recover, that some people have.

Hi Everyone, I am taking A&P1 next semester, I'm really excited before it, except I know that from the textbooks and other students that there is obviously a chemistry component to it, but my problem is I have had NO background in Chemistry, not ...

thanks everyone!!!

Is anyone an EMT while a nurse or while in nursing school? I'm doing pre nursing classes right now and also taking an EMT-B class and hoping to get the certification too. Has anyone else done this? Do you think it will further help my career as a ...

do you do clinicals in an EMT class? Like ride alongs in ambulances?

wow this thread has me cracking up, I'm a triplet and I'm so glad my mom didn't name us with something like Kerri, Kari, and Kyrie or something like that, lol, although we were baby A, B, and C for the first few days.

thanks, I'm a pretty slight person and not incredibly strong, I'll have to see if I can manage that (probably can), otherwise I'll have to start working out and lifting or something, lol.

Thanks everyone!!! I was just wondering, I'm sure they will answer this in the class, but I was wondering if you have to be able to lift a certain amount of pounds or if there is some kind of physical test?

wow these books sound fascinating! Too bad there's not a good bookstore where i live, maybe the library will have them, I'll have to check!

mixy, its great to hear that its POSSIBLE to recover, I'm sick of people telling me "you'll never recover"

I have Medical Terminology for Healthcare Professions, its a great book, and also gives you an overview of diseases and anatomy. Mine is pretty beat up and has a lot of writing in it, so you'd probably be best getting a new one! Where I went to sch...

I think you know you best. I know personally I couldn't handle that, but hey GO FOR IT!!! If priority admission is what you really want, I think you should. And if for some reason its not working out you can always lighten the load and try again. ...

Hi- I'm 20 years old and have had anorexia since I was 12, with some bulimic behaviors. I'm now a pre-nursing student. I have been in hospitals well over 20times, and that is what has inspired me to be a nurse. The nurses were the ones that helped...

Michelle, You are priceless, so are ALL these stories. I just read them from page one. I'm still in college, but I'm sure I'll be back soon enough to add my own stories.

I'm in the prenursing classes, and I am taking an EMT-B class also. I think it'd be interesting to hear the responses! The few I've had over in the student forum is that its a good idea esp if you want to work icu/trauma/er type thing.

scorpiostudent- I was just stating my opinion on the matter as a whole not just what you said

i think there's a few different threads around on the boards about the same subject but i guess you'd have to search for it, and yes some things just happen!

:yeah::yeah:Congrats on being pregnant! I can't give you much advice because I've never been in your situation, but I've known people, and it's possible, and again congrats!

:yeah:you seem to be a very strong person who stands up for themselves and that's great. In my opinion, if I may share it, no one chooses to be gay, bisexual, etc., they just ARE. I didn't choose to be straight, I just AM.

i think you can sometimes get the school blues or feeling burnt out, but if nursing is what you want to do then DO IT, STICK WITH IT. Maybe post something in one of the forums that people who are already nurses post at and ask them if anyone else ha...

don't throw up with an ng tube in

I'd love to nurse Tony Romo's pinky back to health...ok so that was a while ago but hey, I'd give him great care, and volunteer for the night shift too. And most the guys from prison break too, LOVE to be Sara Tancredi
