Thank you so much for posting this question. I was wondering the same thing myself. I have three daughters, 13, 10, and 7...my hubby is an elementary teacher and minister. Life is hectic as it is - without me going to school. These tips were wonderfu...

Hi! I have anxiety as well...I take Zoloft (the minimum that I can get by with) and it truly helps. I've often wondered how nursing might affect this...but I believe I can manage it.

Yep, try to have whichever college you choose assign you an advisor as soon as possible. Good luck! :)

"...while mine has to not only memorize this stuff, but worry about bills, the house, the girls blah blah the list goes on." Oh, how I can relate to that! Shanna

Hi Mudnuri, I'm going to have my oldest daughter help me with memorization, too! It helps to have helpers. Yes, it can be very overwhelming. I had A&P I in '94 and I'm taking it over again in the fall...I hope I can recall some of my stuff...but ...

I'm really dreading statistics. I'm not mathmatically-minded and I just bought a book on beginning statistics to try to get a leg-up with it. We really don't have any pre-requisite for it, either. Whoa boy. :uhoh21:

Thank you...I will! I think curtailing the worrying will be a real problem for me...but I'm going to make an honest effort not to.

Thanks for the pointers! And Timothy, I really enjoyed reading your stories on the ghost story thread! Grannynurse...I guess I live too far away. Shucks. :stone

OMGosh.

Mind if I borrow him? :chuckle

I hope so! I'll check out the Dummie book for it...those are usually pretty good. Thanks for all the input! Shanna

Thanks! You most definitely have my admiration! I'm going to commit to doing 1 chapter week before I have to actually take it. That way I won't be completely lost.

I'm so glad you asked this question. I'm hard of hearing also and wondered how this was going to affect clinicals, etc.

I've heard Curves is great! If you can't get to Curves there are several really good home videos out there. The yoga helps to relax me...it really stretches out those bunchy muscles. I used to do some pretty intense weight work until this happened. O...

Hi, I was DX with Fibromyalgia about a month ago. (Before y'all worry about it...I don't take narcotics and I deal with the pain by way of diet and exercise :). I know FM can be controversial. ) Anyway, I am continuing school this fall and now I'm wo...

Thank you for your prayers...I need them! I manage...I never let it get me down and I refuse to let it dictate my life. I'm currently taking Zoloft and I'm going to go the way of low carb. I walk and do yoga. I appreciate the advice you all have giv...

Thank you for your reply! I appreciate the input...and you have a very, very good point. I'm glad you decided to post! Welcome! :) Shanna

Working toward a BSN at KCU, Kentucky. :)

I, too, am going back to college in pursuit of a BSN this fall (former teaching student). I have always been a better student of the arts and humanities...but found the "Math Smart" guides to be extremely helpful. I studied the first "Math Smart" boo...

Thank you all so much. I appreciate your input. The pain doesn't bother me nearly as much as I worry about the fog, but I managed to get good grades before I was diagnosed, so I don't know that it will make much difference now. I do agree that sittin...

Thank you, Karen. I hope there are others who can give me a little insight as well. It's true that it varies from person to person.

Hey Chad...I'm from KY, too. Are you in the KCTCS system? Yep...crazy weather. I would have preferred for it to remain in the 70s. :)

I'm so glad you asked these questions! I was wondering myself... If I am not accepted for Fall 2005...I've decided that I will take some classes that apply to the BSN program. I am currently seeking the ADN at a CC. I'm 36 - ain't gettin' any younger...

You can do it! Please keep on posting...it's encouraging to the rest of us as well! :)

I'm going to talk to her about it. This can't be helped and it's quite miserable. Thanks for the advice guys!
