Sarah, you still there ?

many old post do not represent the current atmosphere or institutional culture at Clarkson.

BINGO!! We got a winner, this is solid advice. Don’ttry and change the way you learn or retain new information because you seefellow students doing it another way. We all have inherent styles of learning. there are three basic types of learning styles. The three most common arevisual, auditory, and kinesthetic. To learn, we depend on our senses to processthe information around us. Most people tend to use one of their senses morethan the others. It is not unusual to use different learning styles fordifferent tasks. That's why people can respond so differently to the samething. In the same way you will model the behaviors’ of the nurses you will eventuallywork with you should seek out the top students in your classes. Naturally youwill find yourself picking up the skills and behaviors’ that allow them to performat that higher level.

I would have PM ya... (Need more post) Congrats to you!

see ya in class....

when is your start date?

codyerin, lets just say you're not unique by means of your situation. i spent seven months in bethesda nnmc, learning how to walk again. i have a 60% rating and i am going to use voc rehab to get my accelerated bsn and matriculate into a dnp program. you keep your eye on the target; you know you will hit it. just get your intel gathered make a plan, stick to the plan. aim for the most valuable target. you know the drill... if you're serious about nursing your target is a terminal degree.

Brother, By inference of your type of service, in respect to attachment to the world's finest special operations group I will remind you "The only easy day was yesterday." I can only assume you have faced challenges that other people believe are impossible. You have pushed beyond self doubt to serve others at levels unrecognizable to ninety-nine percent of the world's population. With that you must recognize the answer is yes, you can be a nurse! A rating at the VA opens a huge amount of advantages. I know that the percentage assignment for PTSD is normally giving 30%. This qualifies you to participate in Voc rehab (chapt 31). Without going into details it's in your best interest to investigate. I would be happy to assist in any removable navigational obstacles should they present. "War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill
