Hi everyone! I am curious how many of you use electronic planners and how many use an actual physical planner? I am really trying to get better at using my google calendar for daily stuff like work and appts but I wonder for keeping track of school assignments and due dates if I should get a reg paper planner. So I thought I would just ask what other people use :)

I know I need to change my attitude about math and I am trying! Lol. I took Introductory Algebra last fall online but ended up failing the course because about half way through the class I really got lost and ended up failing the final. So this time I am taking the course in person hoping that will be better for me. I am taking all my math classes in a row so that I don't forget the material and it will force me to keep practicing. I am taking introductory Algebra first summer session, Intermediate Algebra second summer session, and in the Fall statistics and macro economics.

Hi everyone! I am in the Phoenix area and taking my pre reqs right now. I am taking Introductory Algebra and English 101 first part of summer and Intermediate Algebra second part of summer. I struggle with math big time just wondering if anyone had any tips for being able to actually understand algebra and maybe for the first time in my life get an A in math lol.

I am looking to apply and start in Jan 2015, I am taking some pre reqs right now.

I have dreamed of getting into nursing since my early 20's. I have Crohn's disease and spent a lot of time in the hospital and at doctors offices since I was 12. The people that made my hospital stays miserable or really not that bad considering the circumstances were the nurses. I would look forward to when certain nurses would be working because they would really brighten my day! I want to be able to brighten my patients days like some of the nurses did for me. Also when I was 12 and first got sick the doctors were not sure what was wrong with me and for the most part no one believed I didn't feel good. It even went as far as me being put in an eating disorder unit at 12 because my doctor thought I just didn't want to eat. But I remember a couple nurses that I felt like they really listened to me and believed me. I know how frustrating it can be as a patient to not be heard. So as a nurse I hope I can make make patients feel like I am not just brushing them off and that they are not being heard. Another part of medicine that really interests me is that I feel like a detective trying to figure out what's going on and in this case I am referring to myself. I am still trying to understand my disease because it's constantly changing and I have different issues. I definitely wish I didn't have Crohn's but I find the human body so fascinating I how it works as I read up constantly about my own disease. So I would love to get into research one day. Another reason I want to get into nursing is the preventive side of health care. I am all about working to prevent problems and diseases before they start and would love to possibly get into holistic healthcare. I like that in nursing we can work in so many different settings. I would love to work in the ER because I love the fast pace and how intense and hectic it can get. But who knows once I am in school and going through clinicals I may fall in love with a different area of nursing. All I know is that I have had a lot of obstacles that I have gone through and many hardships in my 20's but i haven't once let that change my mind about my goal of becoming an RN.

I love this thread!! I will be 30 in Sept and at the end of May I will be going back to finish my pre reqs and then hope to get into Nursing school spring of 2015. I have taken psych 101 and developmental psych but still need all my other classes. I attempted to take some of them before but ended up failing out because of some personal issues. But now I am ready to do this! I will be taking intermediate algebra, college algebra, and English 101 in the summer. In the fall I am taking English 102, philosophy, statistics, and economics. I know it's going to be tough but I look forward to the challenge and a little nervous!
