I will totally agree with this as it was one of the leading factors up to me having to have a hysterectomy at 26. There were a lot of other reproductive problems I was faced with as well but it seems that HPV is often very misunderstood.

I think the only reason I passed it (With a C) was because I took it online and my dh helped me through. He quized me a lot. I am scared to death to take 2 and sadly I missed the grandfather claus so I also have to take 3 :angryfire

I have a story to tell and you can take it for what it is . When I was 19 I joined the Army and was sent to Germany for my first duty station. While I was there I was deployed to Hungary/Bosnia. My first day at camp I met this guy. He was cute and I kind of went a little gaga over him. Anyway we ended up hooking up. He was about 2-3 years older than me. Anyway I knew he had a daughter but he told me he was divorced. I fell head over heels in love with him. When we were sent home I found out that he seriously lied to me. He was not divorced and his wife was very high up in the Family support group and did so many things for our company. I was destroyed, but what was worse is my head told me one thing but my heart told me something totally different and I was young and dumb and naive when he told me that things were not good between the two of them and he wanted to get a divorce but it was not that simple because of where we were stationed. Anyway I listened to my heart and I listened to his lies and continued to see him and really didn't think much about it because he was getting divorced after all. All of our frends knew we were seeing each other. I had a heart to heart with one of our friends who told me to end it before it destroyed not only my heart but my job (And at the time what I thought would be my career) I took a 30 day leave and came back to the states so that I could clear my head as well as my heart. It was during my leave that I met my true love the man I have now been married to for 7.5 years. The married guy I was seeing is still married to the same woman they now have 3 children and he has cheated on her 2 more times since me. I don't know if she ever knew about the relationship between her husband and me, but I can say that it has been 0ver 8 years since I have seen or spoken to him and the guilt is still heavy on my heart. All I can say is thank God I had people who cared enough about me to help me see that it was nothing but a big game with him and all the while he was having the best of both worlds. My friend who told me to end it is the one who paid for my plane ticket home and he could not have given me a greater gift. Listen to your head And one more thing to think about is if he is willing to cheat on his wife (I am another that doesn't buy the roomate theory) with you what would he do to you? Good luck

I am the same way and I know that friends through this is a necessity. I am hoping to be able to reunite with some of the gals I took prereqs with.

I am not from Portsmouth but have considered Shawnee State for my BSN. I live in Seaman and am currently attending Southern State Community College for my ADN

I totally agree and read it the same way. I read it as sarcasm. This posters world was just torn up side down give her some slack. I am sure that she is an emotional wreck, she does not know how her friends faired, she has lost her school (Which is her future) and yes maybe losing the school is trivial compared to all that is going on but none the less it upsets her and she needs to talk about it. Glascow, you are in my thoughts and prayers and you work through this tragedy, You friends and faily andeveryone else affected by this horrible thing are as well (((Hugs)))

No that is absolutely wrong I live on Route *** Not Root *** it sounds so wrong to say Root when you are talking about a road :chuckle

try the opposite I went from Columbus to Adams county 2 years ago and let m just say Culture shock. I love it down here it is just so different, Not to mention people are RUDE. I was broke down on the side of the road and over 30 people drove by not one stopped. I couldn't get a signal on my cell phone and I had my 3 kids in the car. Thankfully a guy who was in the area for work stopped and gave me a hand. He wasn't even from around here. People are also NOSY.

I am in Southern Ohio and I have not totally decided what type of nursing I want to be in. Part of my says Psychiatric, Part of me says Oncology, and part of my says NICU. I guess we will see where the Good Lord leads me :) Julie

I believe my school is offering it as A& B terms A term is A&OI and B Term is A&PII how they do it is it is Monday through Friday for 4 weeks rather than Mon and Wed or Tues And Thurs, So basically I would be taking it for just as many class periods just over a shorter period of time. I took 2 Chemistry classes this way last summer and it was a lot of work but it was nice when the quarter was over and I had an extra class out of the way.

I took A&PI online Winter Quarter and we were issued a lab kit to do the labs at home. It worked out really well for me. And for the OP I think I am taking A&PII in the summer but I have not finalized my schedule yet. I would love to be able to take it online but so far I do not believe my school is offering it online.

Some places call it the TEAS

I have A&P II, Microbiology, Life Span, and Philosophy left to take and I am hoping to have my acceptance letter in the near future. The Dean of Nursing told me I have a 99% chance of getting in this fall it is that 1% that scares me.

Around here the wait is basically long enough to get the pre req and co req courses out of the way so that once you actually get into the Nursing program you do not have the extra and can focus on the Nursing classes. So about a Year - year and a half I would say. I know I was officially put on the waiting list last May and I am tentatively starting in September.

I went to my PCP and after having me get a chest xray which came back clear he said it was a pinched nerve. I have had pinched nerves before and none ever felt like that one. I am thankful it wasn't more serious. O/T Pathetic as it may sound around here it is no wonder people go to the ER rather than their PCP. I have a minimum of a 2 hour wait when I go to my PCP and there are 3 Drs there they take visitors from pharmaceutical companies inbetween patients Unfortunately that was the only place my insurance covered. I recently changed carriers so I am hoping for someplace better.

I have one silly one. My 18month (At the time) old daughter managed to get a popcorn kernal stuck in her forehead. Yes being a paranoid mama (aka seeing blood pouring out of my baby's head) I rushed her to the ER where she was seen immediately and got 3 stitches and a sucker. I also have a serious one which I am still mad abot. About a month ago I was getting ready to take my kids to meet up with my husband and get some dinner All of a sudden I was in one of the worst pains I have ever been in. I couldn't breath, I couldn't move and I got off the road and waited for my husband to come get me because the pain was shooting through my chest. It felt like I was being peirced by something. He took me to the ER and After waiting 3 hours, Yes I said 3 hours I left without being seen thinking If I am not dead by now I will be fine with some time. I still do not know what caused the pain but I went through it for 4 days and hope I never have to go through it again

Don't expect to bounce back that quickly or you will put yourself through more harm later. I had a Hysterectomy 2 years ago at 26 and I went in thinking it would be a lady partsl Hysterectomy. Much to my surprise I woke up cut from hipbone to hipbone. I am now experiencing complications due to scar tissue and the dr wants me to have a scar revision. I am too scared of another surgery so I have been avoiding it. Good Luck and

This is soooooooooo True I just finished taking A&PI online and if I had it to do over again I think I would take it in the classroom. I don't think you will have any problems with an online class because it sounds like you are self motivated however I serously doubt she would be able to pull through. I honestly feel as though I put more into that class than any other class I have taken in the year of going to school and still got a C in the class. It is extremely tough and you really do have to be self motivating in order to pull it off.

I am sure she was joking about the pain medication issue, as far as getting it apon arrival. I used to say I wanted my Epidural at aroud 7 months. It sounds like she was well educated in her decisions and while I do not necessarily agree with all of them I think it is great that she got to have a Labor that worked for her and was open to the possiblity of necessary interventions.

That will be me I hope. i have been working on prereqs as well as non core nursing classed since Last Spring I am hoping to begin the core Nursing program in the dall. There is a 99% chance I will get in but still that 1% chance I won't. I am married and Mom of 3 kids Joshua is 7, Alex is 5 and Angelina is 2 Cheers to the Class of 07

Sure you didn't mean underpaid lol

I am attending Southern State Community College as well I am tentatively scheduled to begin Clinicals in the Fall, However I am considering holding off another year to get some more co reqs out of the way.

I am also in the Southern Ohio area. Seaman which is about 45 minutes away from Portsmouth

If it makes any of you feel better I have been waiting since Last May and won't know until August The Dean told me there is a 95% chance I will be accepted in the Fall class but there is still that 5% chance I will not. I am nervous and excited :)

I said it was an UNreliable source. I pretty much knew the answer but figured you all would know for sure so thanks so much for helping me to set her straight. She is an idiot who thinks she will be a Dr however has not taken one science couse in her 2.5 years of college Anyway thanks
