Ya, I wasn't saying everything she posted was introvert... just the example I mentioned

This is something I had to address in myself several years ago... if you actually hate people internally it will show even if you think you are successfully hiding it. It changed a lot of things for me when I actually changed my mind set and the way...

Yes, I am actually laughing. Good post. :) I catch myself getting irritated in similar ways sometimes. You sound like an introvert (with the whole wanting to see no people at home, and not liking strangers starting conversations with you). I am an in...

Ok, I just feel a real urge to say something... there are plenty of times I see people get "jumped one" on here... However, the only participant in this thread that I observe being catty is you, OP. Even after you got catty, posters were still patien...

I have two reocurring nightmares... neither are nursing related... well, one is school related, but I don't think that qualifies me for the nursing.gif 1) I have this nightmare that I am in a sports stadium, in nose bleed seats, and I fall off the s...

Well... when we go home to our spouses we are still nurses/ healthcare workers... ***NOTE: I do not mean to imply that I am a nurse... I am not a nurse yet.

OP, yes... for me, your story did hit a nerve. It is pretty irrelevant whether your story has "holes" or forgotten bits. For me, the scariest parts are 1) seeing a pt 24 hrs later die (no matter how many times this happens, it always sucks... I don't...

Did I miss something juicy by not reading responses???? I'm still too lazy to look lol

I don't have time to read 400+ comments, so I am taking the risk of repeating what someone else may have already said. If I do repeat, I apologize. Sometimes people make thing too cut and dry, too black and white. Here is what I was thinking when I r...

Ya, not all schools do it like that. In my area, all the schools offer and require anatomy as one class, and physiology as another.

Is it not possible to improve your grade? If it is not possible is this because of your job or because it literally doesn't matter how well you do from here on out, you will still get a C?

Ok, I am a mother of 3 and married. My husband works while I go to school full time. Eons ago we sat down and decided together that this would be our best course of action for our family (we were both paramedic/ firefighters). Here is how we have mad...

Yes, I read the thread. Have you?

My lab partner has several friends that took micro in a short course like that as well.

Well, there is a big assumption there. You assume the reason they use assistance is just because they don't feel like dealing with the stress of working while in school. If that is the case, there is not difference, obviously. However, in many cases,...

Ya, that's what I was thinking as well... working and saving up before school. That is something everyone can do. If you can't work before going to school, what's the point in going to school, right? If you can't work? Really, if children are not inv...

I can see how some people may abuse the system and feel entitled to be given something to make nursing school easier. However, I don't think it is fair to think all people are this way who choose to use welfare while in school. I disagree that all pe...

Awesome! What's your next exam over? We have one tomorrow over antimicrobial drugs, principles of disease and epidemiology, and microbial mechanisms of pathogenicity. PARTY! LOL We have two weeks left. Can't wait to be done.

I get what you are saying here... however, we don't get to pic who gets help and who doesn't. The government does that. Also, there are plenty of people who abuse the system and don't really need the help, they just don't want to work. I have no issu...

Hey happy, how are you doing so far???

Wow... You all weren't kidding about micro! I usually wake up with certain songs playing in my head that I had heard the day before... Not anymore. Now I wake up with stupid micro words randomly playing through my head... Decarboxylation... Escheria ...

Hey, thanks for this post. I am in Micro and have my first exam tomorrow. My class is 9 weeks and Mon-Thurs for four hours each day. The comments here are helpful.

We have our first exam tomorrow...

I haven't read the other comments yet, so this may have already been said. There was a discussion that touched on a subject closely related to this. I'm not sure where, though. A nurse was pretty upset that she, being an LTC nurse, was treated as les...
