Something to consider to pass a prereq quickly is to CLEP it. I have already clepped two classes and I am not a genius. If I can do it anyone can. I studied for 3 weeks and took the test. You will not get anything toward your GPA but you will get the class credits. Its worth it and it only costs about a hundred dollars. Human growth and development is my next CLEP. I've already passed Intro to Psychology and Sociology. Just a suggestion for those in a time crunch.

I am amazed that no one has tried to CLEP these classes. I have clepped two so far and only studied for about three weeks. Clep will not add to your GPA but will give you the class credits that you need. I am not a genius. If I can clep, ANYONE can. All it takes is studying which you will have to do anyway if you are taking the class. It's less than a hundred dollars too! Think of the time and money you can save! I am considering trying to clep the Human Growth and Development course next.

I had an allergic reaction to the chemicals in a temperpedic pillow. My husband was being sweet and thought I might like one and that night I had to go to the ER because of "chemical allergic reaction". I felt as if my throat was closing in and I couldn't get enough air. Apparently, in a chemical reaction it just feels like you can't breath because everything is irritated. I truly feel for you if this is what you are experiencing! This is very serious- definately get a note from your Dr. to give to your management.

I am a student nurse and our first semester was working in a nursing home. I was sad, always crying with no emotional control almost the entire time. My sister died when she was 32 with ALOT of problems and spent her last few years in a nursing home. Every patient I dealt with reminded me of her and the situation. She passed away about three years ago. I hated my entire semester and toward the end I ended up tearing a tendon in my foot so I have had to sit out two semesters. Well, I just had surgery to repair the tendon and am wondering if I should return to school in the fall. I know your feelings...People say time helps but honestly when you are in similar situations which remind you of the pain your loved ones endured, it is like you are reliving it over and over again.
