   Laraine replied to TCloud25's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I hope to read more of your posts as you advance through the next stage of your journey. Life can be hard, it's true, but thankfully it's not like an unending disaster movie, there are good times. Your girlfriend sounds like a real gem, a blessing....

2. Might not graduate over FB

   Laraine replied to BookWorming's topic in General Students

   Wow, do you have any friends in law or paralegal? I hope it works out for you. I find it hard to believe that it is illegal. But apparently slander is illegal. It's a good lesson on many levels for us all.

3. I'm so old!

   Laraine replied to Laraine's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Ya I wonder if I can get through when I'm knee deep in exams! But then I always pull through (mostly with A or A+ and I'm always surprised). Even still, I guess I keep worrying about the physical side of it. My son says he doesn't worry about thin...

   I'm going to remember this! I'm a pup. Thank you for the encouragement. Everyone's comments are helping to alter my self-perception.

   Laraine replied to Laraine's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   wow, thanks. I'm gonna keep this on a post-it as a reminder. I don't always take my vitamins or exercise, but I do pray. I am encouraged by your advice to keep away from self-criticism, it's just crap talk anyway right? Really, thank you!

9. I'm so old!

   Laraine posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Hey everyone, I start my second semester clinical next week. I'm 54, doing Practical Nursing in Toronto. I'm nervous as usual about being so old and doing this hard work. I keep thinking it will be too hard for me and that I won't be able to get th...

10. Why Nurses Don't Want to Be Identified in Public?

    Laraine replied to Mully's topic in Relations

    You really are an amazing writer. Some people have a natural gift, you're one of them. When you're finished caring for folks, well... you know what you can do!

11. Endocrine: Feedback Systems

    Laraine replied to Laraine's topic in General Nursing

    One day I hope to be happy to be finished school as well, but I imagine there are nurses and doctors who make mistakes too, and what's the best way to handle it? One class I just blurted out "that's not right!" Tack is not one of my forte's. I gue...

12. Endocrine: Feedback Systems

    Laraine replied to Laraine's topic in General Nursing

    ah, yes, thank you. I do think he is confused, and regrettably, he's spreading it. I also asked him if ADH was associated with renin and he said yes! Maybe he's just a little rusty. I certainly feel cautious about asking him anything else going f...

13. Endocrine: Feedback Systems

    Laraine replied to Laraine's topic in General Nursing

    I took anatomy already. I am retaking because I had to change schools and the new school only gave me half a credit even though I've covered all the systems. I had an outstanding teacher before. Frankly, the caliber at this new school is distincti...

14. Endocrine: Feedback Systems

    Laraine replied to Laraine's topic in General Nursing

    Hey everyone, I posted this in the student section, but I don't want to mess up peoples' learning so I thought I'd ask the established nurses for help here. I think my anatomy teacher is wrong about negative feedback, I think he might be making up ...

15. Endocrine: Feedback Systems

    Laraine replied to Laraine's topic in General Nursing

    You know, I appreciate your help here but I can see that even though his logic makes sense, unfortunately I'm pretty sure he is wrong and is just 'making **** up' as the saying goes. please don't get caught up in this erroneous information, I wouldn...
