Hey boys and girls! I'm still trucking along in school but I have come to realize my study habits don't seem to be cutting it for getting the grades that I want. Right now I don't think there seems to be any available resources at school specifically...

WARNING!! THIS WILL SOUND JUMBLED AND GARBLED BECAUSE I HAVE A HARD TIME ORGANIZING MY THOUGHTS. I can not believe that I managed to survive my first year of classes. The beginning boys and girls, I tell you.... was the HARDEST. In the beginning I t...

I'm not too sure about the works of after degree. It may vary depending on what you have. Do you reside in Edmonton?

Oh so I had my first class of medical mico biology. We have a wonderful teacher who really knows her stuff. In the class she showed us a video documentary of the meningitis outbreak we had in our city a little over ten years ago. (I remember being va...

I used to have a problem with good too. Whenever I was board I'd want to eat. I had problems stopping once I started and I always ate too much. I struggled to stop myself and found some helpful habits. I haven't read the rest of this thread so I apol...

rng2013This is my first year of nursing and i gotta say I thought I was the only one!!! I hate the cbl too! I keep thinking this is ******** but so many people in the program don't seem to think anything. I kept wondering why people had a negative op...

You know, sometimes I wonder what kind of people my fellow nursing students were when they were in high school! We have the same career choice, but how close do we resemble in personalities? For example, I was always a tomboy and I kinda found my pl...

I believe in you! I hope you will preserve and be a shining day of hope for all of us.I thi k you should try to document your school adventures and then some day share them with others.nthis will give you motivation as well.

Prayer everyday I'm sure helps because I don't know how I managed to pull through.

My classes are up for january. I'm going to review the power slides we were given and when the bookstore opens again, try to get my texts so I can get an early jump.

Esme your story made me water a bit. Op, I think it was in a way good for you to cry. For yourself and the family. Seeing so many stones faces in a horrible time would make me feel alone in dealing with it and like her death didn't matter to anyone e...

I was wondering, if someone is suffering from dementia, could you make up a false reality and have them believe it?Eg. It's so snowy outside today! (When in fact it's summer out). Or telling them their someone famous and this their house or something...
