Well if the weather people know what they're doing, looks like I might have a real snow day tom. Weather channel is calling for 4 to 8 inches tonight, with another 5 to 9 tom. I hope they actually call school off, cuz there is no way I'm driving 2h...

My school only closes when they can no longer keep the parking lot plowed, doesn't matter what the roads are like. I live about 2hrs from school and we're going to get a foot or more of snow today, I am not risking driving home in that ...... So I g...

A little background info for the dream first. I have a teacher who talks about working at "the office" quite a bit during lecture. So what do I dream??..... I'm walking down a street and in front of me is this huge building with flashing neon ligh...

I'm a student at Alpena Community College, yes AGH does cardiac cath's.

I'm in my second semester of actual nursing classes. The first semester our instuctors did a lot of the "you really have to work, this is tough, some of you won't make it" This semester we get a lot of "you are all really smart, you wouldn't be her...

I'm in nursing school so these are from reading the local newspaper....... No matter how much fun it sounds like, never ride your snowmobile at over 100mph, trees aren't very soft or forgiving.. Never ride your snowmobile, by yourself, across a...

My brother was in a psych. ward for about a week(a little over a month ago) He was diagnosed as bi-polar, schizophrenic, homicidal, and suicidal. He was put on Depakote, Paxil, and another med that starts with a z(can't think of the name right now)...

I really think I'm just going to give up trying to talk to my family about this. OMG, I didn't realize how stupid they can be. I know it's not nice to say this about your family but that's what they are being. The only thing I'm going to try is to...

The physiology prof. at my school was known to be pretty tough, but if you paid attention and worked at it, it really wasn't that bad. If you had a problem understanding something you could ask and normally (if more than one person had trouble) he w...

Here we go.....another vent..... Does anyone else have "that friend"? The one who never went to college, doesn't understand the time it takes, how tired you are after the toughest semester of your life?? The one who wants you to go the the bar/cl...

Thanks for the advice... I just found out I get to spend the weekend at my boyfriends sister's house...Oh boy!! I will try to just ignore the comments... on the subject of my "friend" I start school in two weeks.... so I guess I'll be to busy to ta...

I take my books to class, not all of them, only the one needed for that class....Fundamentals book to Fund. OB book to parent/child etc. I like to follow the book with the lecture, high-light important charts etc. It helps me when I study, but I gue...

I made the Dean's List also. Between work, school, and driving back and forth I figured I was going about 83 hrs a week. I can't believe I managed to keep my grades up.... Parent/child nursing - B+ Community Health - A Fundamentals of nu...

I start back on Jan 12, from what the level II students have said, the hard part is behind me, for some reason I don't believe this:chuckle

Thank you all for your replies. I went to see my brother over Christmas, found out a few really scary things. One, he is not taking his meds (can't pay for them), two, (perhaps the one that scares me the most) he says he thinks about stabbing himse...

He's 22 and sort of bullheaded if you couldn't tell from my earlier post. Thank you for your reply. I am really at wits end dealing with this. I want to help, but I can't take all his problems on on top of going to school.

Hi everyone!! I live in Hale, about an hour north of Saginaw, hour south of Alpena. I atttend ACC student nurse level 1.

Here's one for the list made for us that live in rural areas of MI There is nothing wrong with pulling out in front of someone going 55(ok 65) when you are going 35. Even if there is no one behind them.:chuckle OK, this happened to me today. Oh di...

I feel the same. I was sooooo ready for the break, now that I have it, I can't wait to get back. Me, the person who broke down in tears about three weeks before the semester was over(at home to my boyfriend) I really started doubting myself. Now w...

I have to admit this will be a bit of a rant here. I have an instructor who asks ?'s on her test from "other sources" Does not cover this info in lecture, not available in the text for the class, or other sources we have been told to look at. How ...

Thank you RN2B4ABBY I think I will try that when the spring term starts. Hopefully it helps!!

My current (not to be sometime in the near future) sister in law had her first child at 15, and got kicked out of her mothers house, she lived all over for the two or three years before she and my brother got together. Since then they have had to be...

Part of me feels better knowing I'm not the only one with this problem, but I don't think it should happen any where!! Right now all my fellow students and I do is complain to each other. This instructor has been there over 30yrs. so I don't think ...

Another idea is to review all the body's systems (stuff from A&P) Knowing the structure and function of these systems like the back of your hand will really help with understanding the disorders and diseases you'll be learning about.

In my clinical you can miss a day, with a reason, but if you miss 20% or more of the clinical you fail and have to restart again next year. Also, you lose points every time you miss or are late, so it can really add up even before you reach the 20%
