  1. Healthier Living Support - Part III

    Oooh - yummy, grilled cheese! Let's see - I am working half a day today and then off to the campus to study for a test tonight. I brought an apple and a yogurt with me for at work. Now, if I can...
  2. Healthier Living Support - Part III

    Great job Tweety on your avoidance of 'slugging'! I think that's a good plan rn2be - I used to enjoy working the holidays. Since I have a government job, holidays are off for me. It will take some...
  3. Healthier Living Support - Part III

    Thanks Arciedee and Jahra - I am marking everything in my favorites so that I can compare them when I have a little more time :chuckle Honestly though, I really do need to get serious about working...
  4. Healthier Living Support - Part III

    Thanks Tweety and Jahra - I'm going to check out those links! :) I did a whole bunch of stair running yesterday - but it wasn't on purpose - LOL - our stupid basement flooded while attempting to...
  5. Healthier Living Support - Part III

    rn2be, I am glad what I am doing motivates you. I am loving it so much - I figured I would, but this is even more than I had imagined! I just hope I can survive it, if I can make it on...
  6. Healthier Living Support - Part III

    Exactly Tweety! I think a class would be awesome! Well, I am glad at least you guys have access to that as I certainly do not. Oh well - on a good note, I was very good yesterday and ate healthy...
  7. Healthier Living Support - Part III

    That's awesome Tweety - I so wish they did some type of exercise classes out here. I would probably do better if I was at a place where people expected me to show up (although I don't know where I...
  8. Starting pre reqs in August 2006

    Take a deep breath and don't panic is my advice! Everything is do-able, just look at it in little chunks. If it looks overwhelming, step back and take a realistic look, you don't have to do it all...
  9. Healthier Living Support - Part III

    Exactly!
  10. What do you look for in a nursing school?

    For me, I want to know the NCLEX pass rate of the school and the reputation. I do not want to go to a school that is 'easy' or where you can look at some of the graduates and say, well if she/he can...
  11. Work for ASN? ASN - BSN programs?

    Hi! I am thinking you shouldn't have too much trouble getting a job as an ASN in southern CO. I know it is more of an issue if you live in Denver or one of the big cities, but not so much where I...
  12. Healthier Living Support - Part III

    Thanks. :) They are wonderful, they make me smile and they encourage me when I am down (even though I work with them and they are sad to know that one day I will be leaving them).
  13. Don't give up on your dreams and don't let somebody else steer you away from them either, you will regret it. My mother-in-law HATES the fact that I am in nursing school. She cannot understand why I...
  14. Healthier Living Support - Part III

    Oh Tweety, don't worry, you give me hope that I can get to your level. :) Please feel free to gripe, whine, complain, etc. about classes because I'm sure I will be doing that myself here as time...
  15. Stethoscope Recommendation

    My school recommended the littman classic II SE - it is a double-sided and it cost me $67 - I have nothing to compare it to because it is my first, but it works great for me so far and it is not too...
  16. Healthier Living Support - Part III

    Yep, that's the one - I love it! I need to read it more often, every one is so true and so important, yet we tend to forget them in the hustle and bustle of daily life. It does me good to remember...
  17. Healthier Living Support - Part III

    ROFL! Sorry! It says, "The good you do today people will often forget tomorrow: Do good anyway" It's from an e-mail I got, I knew it wouldn't be readable, but I sooo love the pic! :) Yes, I too...
  18. Healthier Living Support - Part III

    good luck tweety, you can do it!!! i have complete faith in you! yeah, i would have to give up working if i had any more classes, which i could not do because my hubby and i's income would not feed...
  19. Healthier Living Support - Part III

    Hi guys! Zoe, the SDDLNSCP is all my initials - yes, I have bizarre parents, but I love them - LOL! Tweety - I can so relate - it is so disgusting when you think you are doing ok and then that...
  20. I need your opinion.....

    Awesome! Congrats! In the long run, it may not take you that much longer - by the time you figure in pre-reqs and all that. I am so excited for you! Congratulations - enjoy!
  21. Healthier Living Support - Part III

    Hi rn2be - glad I am a motivator. :) I am loving it and I hope I can keep that momentum going, but so far it is so exciting for me that the time is just flying! Glad you can still fit in exercise,...
  22. Healthier Living Support - Part III

    Hi guys! Well, they changed our schedule around, so this weekend we ended up doing ambulation. That was actually pretty fun - we had to be each other's 'patient' and we had to take turns walking...
  23. No.Colorado Economy? Relocating

    Hi Marshall! :) Prisons are a big thing out in the southern part of the state, not sure about Ault, but a lot of prisons have been built in this area recently. Just in the area I live in, there are...

    Thank you for your honesty - I was truly curious about that. :) I appreciate
  25. Healthier Living Support - Part III

    Hi Arciedee - thanks! Glad it is going well for you. :) I did better yesterday - I had a grilled pork-chop with black-eyed peas and cottage cheese for supper - yeay! Today I ate a ton of celery...
