thank you! And wishing you all the best as well.

Except here of course lol! I only told my daughter today about my going to the lpn course and that's because she is balanced and honest. I am not letting much of my family know due to the negativity or the interfering telling me how to do it factor...

thank you! Being my family lives a good distance it also won't be hard to keep it under lock and key. I like a bubble so to speak when it comes to certain people because the less they know the better off I am lol! Thanks again everyone!

As far as knowing I will hear the "you are too old" bit is because I've heard the same people say it about others and I like to remain positive.

Oh of course nothing to be ashamed of! My daughter definitely knows and has always been a great support system. I will conect with others for support as well. Thanks!

thanks! I really enjoyed reading this article, articles of health issues interest me especially on Epilepsy due to three of my 5 children have had it and out grown it. Now two of my grandsons have it both which are very young. the LGS struck me as v...

Thanks great article! I am curious though with LGS, would it show up on MRI or is MRI just used to rule out anything else?

I always thank nurses for sure! I am not that type that runs to the ER for a scratch heck it took a lot of twisting my arms and legs to make me go. I was in asthmatic distress and went to the er at scrips mercy san diego. I was treated very quickly ...

Whatever you do please do not use a national franchise social security advocate no matter how glamorous their tv adds look! Go local get someone you can sit down with in person and ask questions. I did become disabled due to a crippling case of par...

That is too funny! Lmao! Also wanted to add some also get the idea that because I am mentally ill I am somehow a push over or thin skinned and they can break who I am! Ha jokes on them because I have gotten stronger and thicker skinned due to my illn...

WOW I am so glad I found this section! A few years ago my right foot started to not lift up but instead drag behind and coworkers noticed it and asked if I had some kind of stroke. I said no I'm okay and brushed it off. I kept trying to "physical th...

this is true I also think it's because we look non-threatening. But I welcome most of it unless a person becomes annoying.

Generally I don't tell most people. I do however take it in stride when famnily members goof on me as I am not overly sensitive and make light as well. I think it turns the wise cracks around. I would never tell another student as you stated due to ...

Congrats! I'm in the process of moving so hoping to take my entrance exam and get in for spring 2015. I'm wishing you the best!

I have worked graveyard but in another field obviously and completely agree and I said many times "if people do not stop calling me at 2pm I am going to start calling them at 2am on my nights off and let them see how much they like it!

Lol! So true!

Hi esme12 i did post it there but since that was 1986 I really wasn't sure what the nurses name was I think Rene but either way she was awesome as many have been.

Thank you! You really spoke to the introvert in me. I have been recently wondering if nursing would work out for me being I'm an introvert, this is the article I needed! I don't doubt my intellect to succeed or other qualities I personally have but ...

I am enjoying reading through the threads here, helps me get perspective. Not even in nursing school yet but hoping soon to be. Im a mother of five grown awesome people and better believe I caught on with "mommy assessment" and knowing I pulled the...

For all of you thank you all so very much for all you do! I have been a patient having had 5 children and as well some surgeries. I always say thank you to anyone who has cared for me in any capacity when I've been sick. And even to those who were ...

This tells it all! We had it for four days and were so thankful by the 5th day that we actually wanted to eat anything! That had to be the most horrible virus I have ever had in all my life! We all have an awesome sense of humor about it after the ...

Thank you so much for sharing that! I am definitely interested in going to nursing school hopefully by spring 2015. I am confident in being intelligent enough, compassionate enough, loving people enough, but then comes that nagging little doubtfulne...

Hi I am new here and have a few questions. I am 47 years of age and want to enter the lpn program in Memphis hopefully no later than next spring. I am getting the understanding that lpns can work in hospitals in Tn. is that correct? I have a true in...

Oh wow thanks for the advice Mseymour! and I just did a google map search and southwest community college is only a mile from where I will be living downtown! awesome!!!I can walk there no problem!!! Now I am more excited lol! I have thought about n...

Thanks to you both for taking time to respond and with great information! I would like to add some questions though if that is ok. Im going to be relocating to downtown Memphis come mid May, although I'm not a stranger to public transit , it will be...
