  2. Does the exhaustion go away?

    If you like the country, doesn't get much more country than near Dartmouth Hitchcock in Lebanon NH, and they have a children's hospital. Brattleboro Retreat has a peds psych

  6. Nursing School Essentials

    I start my ADN program in a little over 2 weeks. I think I am mostly prepared, but I would love to know what you couldn't live with out or wish you had in nursing school. Thank
  7. Are student loans worth it???

    No. I truly wish I hadn't gone to "fancy" schools that had such high tuition. I understand needing small loans for community college or state universities, but in the end, you are taking the same...
  8. Should I retake Anatomy 1 if I made a C?

    Definitely ask the advisor if they well accept the second grade if it is higher. I would retake it if they would accept the second

    I'd be pissed. I'd set up a camera in my locker to record anyone opening it and putting stuff
  10. Getting a puppy and working 12 hour shifts?

    Personally, I wouldn't. Puppies that young usually need to go to the bathroom once or twice a night. They don't like making messes in their crate (if you are planning on crating) but they will if they...

  16. Wowza

    Slightly freaking out. I have school orientation in 4 days and start school in 11 days. This is something I have been working towards for about 7 years. I can't believe it's finally here.
  17. Wowza

    Thank you so much! I am trying to put together a schedule but not sure when and where clinicals are yet.

    My LNA class we did it on each other's arms but yeah, no way I'd let my classmates near my peri
  19. How many Nursing schools did you apply to?

    I sent in applications to 5 but I only submitted all of the material to two. I ended up getting into both of
  20. Really hard choice

    I can't tell you what to do, but can you think of if you chose to go or if you chose to stay, would you look back and regret making that decision? I am so sorry you have to make this

    I am taking my last general education course and I have already been accepted to an LPN program. I have absolutely no motivation to finish this course. I am a Dean's List, honor's society student. I...
  24. My past transcripts haunted me too. Find a college that only looks at the pre requisites for admissions and ace those. Like A&P I and II, Micro, Math, Nutrition, Human Growth and Development, etc....

    My mom is from England, we are going to be getting dual citizenship hopefully. My GPA is good, I've been accepted... But all of our midterms and assignments are tons of long essays. Bleh. Yep, I'm...
