Becoming a nurse at 40?
:yeah:That is awesome I almost backed out because of my age at first. I was really amazed at how the other students acted. I have showed my teenagers your post and a couple of others just to show them how important it is to do it now. Not to wait til later like I did. I think that is great! I hope you are enjoying it

has anyone used a "clicker" device for tests?
I guess it would be easier to look at a clicker, because you hold it up. Yes different strokes for different folks :) It pressures me and some things I do better under pressure. I don't know if the time limit or what. That is funny about the girl changing her answers. People who cheat or steal are going to adapt and change for all situations!!!! I actually liked them better for in class stuff. I am one who can go through the whole stack of flash cards right before a test and get nervous and stall. Testing is always murder for me. I do alot of writing on exams too, that is why the clicker haunts me. After getting use to it by the end of the semester it was a little better. Last semester it was the clicker this semester Ebooks. Does any one know if you can put them on the nooks? They stay charged a lot longer.

I used a clicker in a Microbiology class of 100 students. We used them for attendance, quizzes, and class exercises. I myself do not like them. I always mark the questions that I feel doubt about and at the end of the exam go back to them. The main reason I would preferr not to use them however, is because on a question that might require a little thought I hear the words 1 minute remaining. This automatically sends me into a panic mode. I can't restrain from pushing the button. Then you realize, you were right to start with and you go to push it again and time is out! If you were reading it and not being rushed through it, you probably never would have changed it to start with. Your right snow

Becoming a nurse at 40?
I am 40 and been in school for a year and start the nursing program next semester. I will be 45 when I am done. I plan to do a BSN with a minor in School Health Education. I love it. I say I am 35. I felt wierd the first semester for a bit, but everyone was really sweet. I even got invited to a few parties. Like I could really hang!! It is amazing how much my teenage boys want to come see me of a day now! They have even went to class with me before. I would have had to pay for time before this! Your right 3xmom it is fun to set them up or scope out potentials. Hopefully all these pretty young girls will make sure they start next year. Wait, going to school together If they are here on thier own there goes my one on one time..LOL
