How about public transit? I the nursing school I'm in doesn't have parking for students at all we have to park on the street and feed a meter all day. Except clinical days when we are not allowed to leave - who knows what happens then - parking tickets? Then there are the snow days and the plows come through. I'm trying to figure out bus routes and trip times before the semester. I live in the greater Cincinnati area and this crummy city is in the freakin' dark ages when it comes to public transit - well, and in every other area a city can be!

oh aye! I'm first a Liverpool fan but after I lived in Kensington for awhile, I'm now also a Chelsea fan, who's last 2 matches were miserable!!

Don't give up completely on your veterinary dream. I have a friend who was almost 40, divorced with 3 kids who decided to finish her BS and then went on to vet school (much more difficult acceptance process than even med school). She has graduated and is now a small animal vet. Money is the issue for most folks - first the cost of school and second your earning potential in your new proffession. I know vets in small animal practices who make less than RNs, I also know a large animal vet in CA who is extremely wealthy. I myself am 37 and just starting nursing school because my family's business is suffering a long slow death. I have been an animal lover all my life. I have bred and trained horses, and for the last 10 years I have bred, trained and hunted with dogs. So when I anounced that I would be going to nursing school everyone I know was shocked - they thought for sure I'd choose a career in the animal heath field. But for me, to become a vet would take too long as I really need employment now - and don't even mention money for school - as I still don't know what I'm doing for money when it is due next week for school. Vet techs just don't make enough and the schooling while less expensive takes as long as an RN program. Folks in veterinary medicine do it because they love it.

Hi All, I'm a nursing student just getting ready to begin my first clinical rotation in an RN program. On my equipment list is a watch with a second hand. I am curious, can I use a digital watch? Do nurses prefer a watch with hands (second hand) and what about the newer watches with both a digital readout and hands? By the way, I'm new to this forum and have enjoyed it immensely thus far. And so, HELLO!
