I am a single mom of a 3 year old son, and i want him to have a better life than i had. That is motivation enough! His picture is in the front cover of EACH of my textbooks! If i start slacking....i flip to the front for a reminder of what i am doing...

p.s. since we are all nursing students and we will most likely encounter patients who want more info on devices that will make their lives easier, here is a link to a site that sells all sorts (not only for the blind) of helpful aids: http://www.maxi...

I am a nursing student who was raised by a legally blind single parent. Over the years i have come to find out there are quite a few different assistance aids/devices for the blind/handicapped. One of the things that truly impressed me is a pocket de...

I too am surprised by the number of people who choose not to stop. I'm not one to judge you, but having been hit by a car traveling 55 mph on a busy road makes me recognize the relevance of stopping to make sure all involved are okay. Surprisingly, m...

msrenee.....i dont' have access to the messaging part of this site yet. i only have something like 14 posts yet, and i think we need 25 to send messages to other members....unless we pay. So i would LOVE to message you back...but i can't! I am a DU ...

Hey girly!! I don't have enough posts in yet to message you back....so i hope you find this comment!! I DO go to DU....i was the redhead you were talking to in the library the other day....after study group :)

we started on August 31st. It's definitely a time consuming program! But it is doable! I can't speak for everybody but i am loving it! We had our first exam this week and that was an experience in itself! Nursing is a completely different way of thin...

Thanks! I was reading the site and couldn't find it directly. I also saw that they offer loan repayment as well....so even if i don't get accepted into the HRSA scholarship group, there is still the option of trying for that. Thanks again! And i hav...

I have a question for those of you that applied. I know that i could probably find the answer in the thread somewhere, and if you want to link me to a post or a specific page, feel free. But my question is, can you apply for this if you are in your ...

I have been considering purchasing the Littman Cardiology 3, so i wouldn't have to upgrade after school, but a buddy of mine went to a uniform shop near us and she tried out a cheaper model and said it works quite well. So i am currently rethinking t...

they definitely use a point system. you get a certain number of points for your full GPA, your math and science GPA, your TEAS, your essay, each recommendation, and the number of prerequisites that you already have out of the way. So I know a couple ...

Hey Mike, i don't know if Don mentioned it to you, but a BUNCH of us are getting together for dinner on Saturday night. If you are free and like Mexican food, you should come! It'll give you a chance to meet more of your future classmates! Anyhow.......

Okay....the Fall schedule is up!! Looks like Tuesday and Wednesday for the nursing classes, then i personally have to take medical terminology on fridays.

From what i have heard, we are required to do two. But i would email the professor in charge to double check. Woo Hoo!!! Maybe if you hang out with me long enough, some of my perfection will rub off on you! lol! jk! Also...i don't remember if i me...

awesome. congrats mike! sorry if this font is horrible, i am posting from my cell phone and it looks enormous on here. heh! glad you made it though! and congrats on beating me with the slides in micro. hahaha! i just heard from one of my buddies that...

Hey MsAshley, I am not 100% positive on any of this, but from what i have heard: There are no pre-requisites for the BSN and the LPN program. There is a small chance that you could be accepted into the nursing program straight from High School. Alth...

finally signed up for this site after scoping it out for a while. It was nice to see TWO people from my current Micro lab on here....the "old man" and the mom of two! :) This is the redhead that doesn't show up in shorts and a tank top! So...after h...

Hey Ladies, and Gentleman! I too was accepted into the BSN program starting this Fall. How do you guys all feel about the Orientation yesterday? I feel like they still aren't sure what is going on, and i still have a LOT of questions. Also...did an...
