  1. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    Hi Tweety - good to see you again! I'm sorry about you both getting sick, that is awful - how miserable. Hope you both feel better soon! I love avocados - I will have to remember that they are on...
  2. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    No problem Wonka - thanks for the info! I love olive oil, so maybe I can use that instead of other stuff like veggie oil in some of my cooking. Summer itself is great motivation for me - I get the...
  3. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    Wonka, I don't know much about the omega3's, except that they are important. :) Hopefully Tweety will be along soon, he seems to be our nutritional guru and has a lot of great info. on that type of...
  4. Childbirth class question - looking for info

    Thanks you guys. I really would love to get certified, but anything I do is going to be self-funded since we are completely non-profit and have no money. I don't know if I can afford that right now,...
  5. Hi everybody! I know this is going to sound weird given the fact that I am still a pre-nursing student, but we live in a very small area where it is hard to come by people willing to teach prenatal...
  6. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    Shel, that sounds good - I might have to try that tea. I've done really good all week, but then we had pizza last night - oops - too much pizza. Oh well, at least I stuck with it most of the week,...
  7. Hate Peds?

    Don't feel bad about it - this is what makes nursing great - there is something for everyone and not everybody loves the same thing. I am a pre-nursing student myself, so I can't give you personal...
  8. It's almost over!!!

    Yes - I am just like you! I really enjoy the first couple days off and dedicate them completely to my family. However, I try not to take too much time away from them anyway, so I always study and do...
  9. Poll: What do you love about the NICU?

    I hadn't re-read this thread in quite a while and I am happy I did. :) I am finishing up my pre-reqs this semester and have my fingers crossed that I get into the program either this year or next....
  10. I can't wait any longer!!!

    Congratulations Kelly!!! Great job! I am in severe anxiety over here too - I would love to get in, but I also would like to know if I don't so that I can plan the upcoming year of classes!...
  11. Why do you want to be

    Yes, I applied last June and am still on the wait list. I can be patient though, I know it will be worth it in the long run! I am finishing up my last two pre-reqs (A&P II and Micro) this...
  12. Childbirth class question - looking for info

    That's cool. That's kind-of what I want to do. The information that I currently have also teaches development of the baby, nutrition, and even pros and cons of breast/bottlefeeding as well as...
  13. Why do you want to be

    I have wanted to be in the medical field every since I can remember. I remember even as a small child that my favorite toy was a toy stethoscope and syringe. I just loved them! I got married young...
  14. Childbirth class question - looking for info

    Wow - it looks like there is a ton of good information in there - thanks so much!!!
  15. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    Good morning everybody! Thanks for the website Shel, I haven't heard of that, but I'm going to go check it out - maybe that would help me keep on track. :) I'm sorry, I don't know of any good...
  16. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    I know what you mean Tweety - I am being bombarded by Easter candy and birthday cakes (daughter's first birthday was the 15th)! I did eat some birthday cake, but then I went for a big, long walk, so...
  17. ADN nursing student

    Just another thought for you. I eventually want to become a Nurse Practitioner, but I am taking baby steps to get there. I am going to start out obtaining an ADN from my local junior college. This...
  18. What has been your fav prereq??

    Good deal. I am planning to meet with my advisor some time next week, so I think I'll bring that up. You are getting me convinced this might actually be a good idea!
  19. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    Thanks Tweety - yeah, I did learn that politics is not my thing. The classes should be great though! LOL - I know what you mean. I get my fix on purchasing junk food for my man too - he eats all the...
  20. What has been your fav prereq??

    Thanks - that was just what I needed! :) Chemistry is not a pre-req for the ADN that I am on the waiting list for right now, but I know I will need it when I do the ADN to BSN route later and I'm...
  21. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    Tweety - Indian food sounds great! Last night we were exhausted after a very busy weekend. I had a bowl of tomato soup and half (gave the other half to my little boy) a grilled-cheese sandwich. I'm...
  22. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    Hi Wonka - welcome!!! Hope you stick around, this thread is wonderful! :) The article was very interesting. I have never considered myself a person that consumes a lot of salt, but yikes with the...
  23. What has been your fav prereq??

    Thank you so much - this is exactly what I need to hear. I hope I can have your attitude when I end up having to take chemistry because it truly does scare me. Thanks for keeping it positive - I...
  24. What has been your fav prereq??

    I agree with you - a lot of people were happy for the easy 'A', but I wanted to learn something for the $$$ I spent. Oh well - at least it looks good on our record. :) You sound a lot like me - I...
  25. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    Hi Traumaprincess - I have been on a 'bad eating' binge here lately for some reason, so I understand where you are coming from. I keep trying to re-jump-start my diet, but I am losing. This thread...
