Sorry ha ha ha to the OP before I went off on my rant, you had a question, If I only had the 7 year old, or if he was younger, I would study throught the day when he was playing, kinda like 15-20 minute power studies ( trying to nail down say 1 con...

I have 3 children ages 7,16 1nd 19 !! Believe it or not the TEENAGERS are more of a problem !!! they say they understand but they seem to always need something that stops me from studying. Its always silly things...Mom I need a ride, Mom I need a bo...

I mean SMOKING !!!!!!!!!!! I know this has nothing to do with Nursing School for most people...but for me it does. 1.I start NS in August...will be working less So I wont be able to afford smoking. 2.I will be in Clinicals...not really a place to s...

WOW...3 days and counting. I had a good day since I was at work, busy and had no chance to smoke anyway. Right after work wasnt easy, so I pulled into the mall to waste some time and got a hair cut that I desperatly needed but never seemed to have t...

Thanks Everyone. I have smoked for 26 years...also started at 14, I also have had a few times I quit, but always seemed to go back to it. I think Im just ready to stop. I sent my post this morning, went outside and had 1 cigarette, put it out half ...

On a diffrerent note...I have also taken online classes and love them as well....but if you are a procratinator (like me) it is VERY easy to put off the work until the last minute. When I first started taking online courses I thought I had it in the ...

August 24th Here.....Nervous, Excited...and a ton of other emotions that Im sure in time I will be able to identify...still a little shell shocked

In addition to the recorder...which has helped me as well, I found, for me...that drawing things, ESPECIALLY in A & P really helped. I got a bunch of poster board and markers and drew alot of the things I didnt understand Ex: I struggled with t...

I have read numerous posts about getting accepted to Nursing School...and have almost been able to feel the excitment from the posters about their accomplisments...I wondered what I would feel like if and when it happened to me... Nothing could have ...

Again...check with your school, but for me, for the last two years, the prior year of that summer is what the FAFSA applies too. My school said that the current years FAFSA ex: 2009-2010 will start applying in the fall semester. So the FAFSA for 2008...

I despise the Respiratory system !!! I have a test in a week and feel like I read and read to no avail...I get the concept...but as always I struggle to remember all the new words. I loved the heart :redpinkhe and seemed to GET IT rather quickly...ev...

My school required a urine test for drugs AND ethanol. The school said it was the first year they required Ethanol testing . I found it strange that as an adult I couldnt have a glass of wine but I didn't take any chances and didn't have any alcohol ...

I am taking A&P 2, and although I find it MUCH more interesting than A&P 1 I find myself with the same problem...HOW TO REMEMBER ALL THE NEW WORDS !!! I understand the concept, and I could explain it back if asked on a test in a general way, ...
