Do you have all the prereqs that you need? YOu could at least get a start by getting those out of the way.

I just bought my MacBook this summer, after ruining my old PowerBook by getting moisture under the screen (it was too old and not worth fixing). I am a total mac girl. Very stable operating system, sleek, clean, cute.... At work we use PC's and I ...

Very cute!! Thanks for sharing:))

Hi. I am also ADD. What I do to study is go to the law library (not too many things that interest me on the shelves) and force myself to sit in a cubicle with my books. It's hard with the easy access to the internet, one more thing to allow my min...

Dansko outlet (this can be accessed through the main Dansko page) has bargains but I don't very often see the white shoes. I wear the Professionals -- I've got them in many colors. This is the only shoe that works with my plantar fasciitis.

school bookstores can be so hateful and greedy. i've been buying my books from barnes and noble.com. if you are a nsna member you get an additional small discount but the real savings has been through their b+n membership card. i resisted buying i...

Rumor has it that my school is having us get PDA's this fall. Fellow Mac Users: how much trouble will I have syncing with my PowerBook? Has anyone had any experience with this?

I fully agree with you and this and the fact that nursing is all about caring for the person, not diagnosing and manage a pathology, is what draws me. Nurisng is an amazingly diverse field and one so very unique from medicine. It certainly is what ...

Hi. I just started Marymount this semester in the 2d degree program. I've been living in Arlington for a good while so I will fill you in: The main campus sits on far edge of Arlington in a traditional looking suburb. About a mile away (they run ...

Hi. I was once in a similar position and after a huge mistake (going to PA school for a semester) and recovering from that, I am happily doing what I was meant to do and that is be a nurse. I'm not saying anything intrinsically negative about PA sc...

Hi. I volunteer in an inpatient hospice facility and we have 4-bed rooms where we routinely have men and women in the same room -- it does not seem to be a problem.

Hi. For medical I volunteer in a hospice, often working alongside the CNA's bathing and toileting patients. Yes, cleaning poop and vomit is not pleasant but it's not a happy experience for the patient either so I try to be empathetic (not always ea...

Hi. I'm in my first semester of Marymount's accelerated BSN program, going part-time. So far I am very happy with the program and my professors. Let me know if you have any questions.

After seeing a podiatrist for several months and being treated for plantar fasciitis (also have flat arch; my feet look great in my dance shoes though!) with all sorts of remedies including orthotics he finally sent me to a pedorthodist who is someon...

I know!! Where DO those little buggers go?? I had the HepB series of three and no antibodies developed so they had to give me a 4th injection. Polio? Yeahh, I had all those shots as a child (no little sugar cubes for me). Zero antibodies left-- ...

DesertRain -- I fully agree with you, who are we to like or dislike other people's art. Art is an expression, art is not necessarily meant to please. Does it matter whether or not the viewer understands or does not understand what the artist was ge...

Hi. I hate to be the lone stick-in-the-mud but I was actually appalled by the Body Worlds exhibit (I saw it in St. Paul MN last summer). First off, I am not at all put off by death or bodies in various state of ickiness. What got to me about the e...

I'm starting school in January but have been volunteering in a hospice for about 4 years. The only thing so far that really makes me gag is suctioning -- I am just about gagging trying to write this response, seeing the nurse stick that catheter dow...

If you have the option of "choice" (i.e., live in an area like a do where there's a plethora of programs) I think you also need to consider what fits your needs and personality. I'm starting my 2nd degree BSN in January and am very happy with the sc...

I went to Indiana University and I know that they now offer a lot online. Also, The community college near me offers what they call 'hybrid' courses where you can do the lecture stuff on your own but have to come on campus a few times a semester for...

Hi All. I'm starting my 2d degree program in January and will be doing it part-time because of the cost and the need to maintain my federal job for the health insurance (I have two chronic conditions that are well managed but I can't afford to mess ...

Hi. I had everything in by the end of October and got my acceptance about two weeks later. It's nice not to have to worry about that anymore!

[color=rgb(75, 0, 130)]i'm in! just got my acceptance stuff from marymount. yeah:))

I got a waiver, the little postcard just came in the mail. I have a BS and my grade point is high enough. Whew, one less thing to worry about!

I just applied to Marymount for January 2007 (2d degree BSN); no word yet other than the affirmation that they received my application. I hate the waiting!
