    Nursing school and social life?

    LVN curriculum allows time to work?

    I would like to know too. Does anyone have any answers? Will it be difficult for me with my given experience? My grandfather was a surgeon & my mom an RN. I have taught childbirth education...

    I am a single mother of 2 and have no family or friends to help. You can do anything for 1 year. I just went through getting my teacher certification and worked 90 hours a week. Granted, not the...
  11. Wouldn't those photos have been a good teaching tool to discourage other teens from OD'ing? If I'm wrong, I apologize, but I would think it might bring some sense of reality to his

  14. My mom always called it a "bee yam." I didn't know til I was grown that she was saying "BM." I thought it was a beeyam because it looked kind of like a yam. No wonder I was never a fan of sweet...

    Im unsure and confused...

    OK, now there's someone in a similar boat to me, teensmom, so that is encouraging. I am "only" 40, but a single parent with no help from family or friends. Others have done this and I will too! Oh,...
