  1. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    arciedee replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm back, post-holiday... definitely some healthier living plans here! With a new motivation... need to fit into a wedding dress! Okay, fitting into one won't be a problem, just the vanity of...

  2. Human Growth and Development Course

    arciedee replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, that's a lot for the spring! You're starting nursing courses already, eh? That's great, I would love to be getting into that stuff now rather than having to wait. Good luck on the nutrition...

  3. Human Growth and Development Course

    arciedee replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations! That's great news. What's on tap for next semester? I'll just be taking one class: microbiology. Should be interesting (I hope). But for now...

  4. English to Nursing?

    arciedee replied to fluffypuffymo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe she was referring to getting a BSN instead of ADN before going on for her masters... i.e. there are more traditional MSN programs than RN-to-MSN. Of course that would probably depend on the...

  5. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    arciedee replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Well, I do think that you are doing a great job and so often we get focused on everything we're doing wrong... it's important to acknowledge our successes, too! I knew you were in a small town, but I...

  6. Human Growth and Development Course

    arciedee replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, took the final last night. It was okay... she basically gave it to us last week, so we knew what to study, but I procrastinated and some of her questions I still wasn't quite sure what she...

  7. Considering nursing

    arciedee replied to timster1984's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're very welcome, I'm glad it was helpful... That's a great website for non-trad pre-med students, so I hope you poke around there. I was originally planning to go to medical school and even after...

  8. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    arciedee replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Oh, I do understand the concern that one piece will turn into the whole bag. But you should probably focus on the fact that you DID, in fact, only eat one. And that is GREAT! :balloons: So give...

  9. Considering nursing

    arciedee replied to timster1984's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's a thread on OPM (Old Pre-Meds) that I thought of while reading your post. Here it is, might have some good info for you....

  10. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    arciedee replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Oh, hun, it was ONE piece. Don't beat yourself up over it. Now if it was the whole bag that would be a different story! You're still doing absolutely great. I've been pretty good about the candy...

  11. Northeastern University Direct Entry

    arciedee replied to jane415's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I'm pretty sure she's referring to Northeastern University in Boston. It's the only one I'm aware of (of course I'm from the area) and I know they have a direct-entry MSN

  12. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    arciedee replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Wow, seems like we're getting quite a few people on this thread. Glad to see it so active. Zoe, I loved your post about saying "sometimes" instead of "always" or "never." That is so important and...

  13. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    arciedee replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Kat, you are so right. It's only human to expect to see immediate results, but the reality is that if we want to make true changes, we need to change our habits and it is easier to start with a small...

    arciedee replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Pumpkin cheesecake is the best! Haven't had any this year, though. Keep bugging one of my friends to send me her recipe. It's soooo

  15. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    arciedee replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Hun, if it were easy to "be good" we wouldn't have this thread! :chuckle It sounds like you are doing great, though. I think having a supportive network definitely helps. Just like they say for...

  16. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    arciedee replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I think we're all having pretty good attitudes around this holiday season. Sarah, remember, cheesecake is important, too :roll No, seriously, I think it is important to indulge once in a while,...

    arciedee replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sure you did better than you thought. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Good luck on your A&P exam. I have mine on Saturday, but luckily it's not cumulative, though covers about 5...

    arciedee replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Aw, thanks, Jess. I really do try to have a good attitude about things. I mean when I look on what I have I am truly blessed and, while we always have room for improvements, I am happy with who I am...

  20. College

    arciedee replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! Are you planning to go for your BSN? I will differ a bit in my advice to you. Definitely study hard and do what you need to do to get into the nursing program. But do NOT let it consume...

  21. Human Growth and Development Course

    arciedee replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Kayel, how did you do? Sorry I didn't get to this until today to offer my good luck vibes. I still have another week to go. We're watching a movie tomorrow night and then final (not cumulative)...

  22. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    arciedee replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Health, Stress Management

    arciedee replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Health, Stress Management

  24. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    arciedee replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one concerned about a few pounds. It's probably 5-7 for me, but very frustrating because I feel like whenever my weight started creeping up before it was fairly...
