I got into NHCTC Nashua and Rivier. I decided on Rivier, since I wanted a day program, and I would have had to do clinicals at NHCTC Nashua on Thurs and Friday nights - UGH! No way with 4 kids could...

I'm glad you're standing up. We are all adults, and know the rules. The rules of cheating and plagiarism are posted on EVERYTHING at my school, so there is no way someone can't NOT know what the...
I asked a friend about this, and she thinks it is because the students have to work off of the instructors license, and the hospital or RN is not a true instructor, it would put all licenses in...

Sorry, I just disagree. I don't think make-up makes me more pleasant to look at. I'm not there to impress the patients with my looks and features. I don't advocate looking like a slob with unkempt...

Thank you. I didn't want to say anything, but sometimes I feel it is an unintentional "dig" at people that don't wear make-up. I haven't for over 15 years, and look fine without it. I don't intend...

My make-up routine consists of......................moisturizer! And that be it! :chuckle I think if I dug around in my purse a little, I may find a dried out Lancome lipstick in a color I...
Good luck! I almost applied to St. Joe's also, for their Keene program, but I am going to Rivier in the fall, which is affiliated with St. Joe's. I'd call and ask them which test you'll be taking. I...
I live in NH, and love that stuff. It worked great on my kids when they were little. We have always had woodstoves, and it dries out your skin INCREDIBLY in the winter, no matter how many...
I'm a Type 1 diabetic also, and don't know where I'd be without aspartame and the like. People get "preachy" to me, so I "kindly" let them know what it's like to be diabetic and not have as many...

I'm glad to have found this thread. I've been a migraine sufferer all of my life, and just recently found out I had shingles, which has given me even more migraines. Just yesterday morning at 6am my...

Good for you!! :) I agree it's not nice to "celebrate" in front of other who have failed or not done well, but you shouldn't have to feel "down and out" around them when they get their tests back....

I'm diabetic and have a BIL that has severe hypoglycemia. Actually, eating sugar will bring your bs up, but it is not recommended for regular meals. If you have true hypo, you need short and...
I was going to say also that you can get some really nice second hand clothes at a thrift shop or other second-hand store. My mother passed away very suddenly 6 months ago, and loved her designer...
HA!!! No more babies for me! Actually, I didn't look too hard, because my friend was just wonderful, and made a great companion for my daughter, who attended her first two births at the age of 3 1/2...
Have you done OTC tests, or had a blood test? With my first two children, I never got a positive urine test, only blood test. I remember that crampy, stretchy,...
Wow! What a great birth! Very similar to my last one. I had a CNM, and though I was measuring large for dates, we weren't too concerned. All my babies had been around 9 lbs., so that was the norm...
Thank you, Lori, for sharing such a touching experience. I think not only you got a lot out of it, and the family, but we did as well. I think submitting that to a nursing journal is a wonderful...
