I appreciate so much your words of support. I'm preparing myself mentally for having to re-take Chem. Luckily, my mom is a high school AP Chem teacher, along with being about the best mom in the...

Thanks so much for your reply. And for the valuable information! My C in Chemistry is really old...I took it in 1993, and I hope I don't have to retake it. If I do, I will...The bad grade is due to...

Right-O! Thanks for pointing out the obvious. And I mean that in the most sincere way...Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees! That being said, I still don't know quite what I'm going...

Oh, my gosh, I could've written this post myself! I'm in the same boat...35, two kids ages 4 and 5, trying (God willing) to start 15 month BSN program May '09. I want another kid (I think!) and I...
Posted this on the "Texas" board, but didn't get any responses. SURELY there's someone out there who can help! Anyone know anything about the TWU 15 month program for people with bachelors degrees to...
In addition to my last post... Got this off the website: ( http://www.twu.edu/nursing/programs/bs/fast_track.html ) U.S. History 6 Government (U.S. and Texas) 6 Microbiology with Lab 4 Chemistry...
Hi! I've been looking into the accelerated BSN at TWU in Dallas/Houston, and it appears to me that they only look at relevant classes. They seem to only care about your nursing prereqs, along with a...
Okay, nurses, I need a professional opinion from you, the nurses whom I hold in such high regard. I'm somewhat of a pre-nursing student. Just trying to take a class here and there to finish my...

The 2nd degree BSN is a 15 month program, so it's actually faster than the 2 year RN. And I have the grades to get into it...Not that it's a sure thing, but I think I have a decent shot. And I don't...

The phlebotomy thing sounds kind of interesting...Any idea how long it might take me to be able to do that? I would just kind of like something to help me get my feet

I've got the answer to this one! I had the same problem last winter--my hands cracked and bled so badly, I was taking tylenol to relieve the pain. The dermatologist recommended something with...
Hi! I'm an American who moved to the UK three weeks ago. I'll be here for a year with my husband's job. We have private insurance which pays all our medical bills 100%, but I'm confused about how...
I'm all okay with paying for it...That's what we're supposed to do b/c our visas are stamped with "no recourse to public funds." But I don't think the GP I'm dealing with understands that. Our...
Thank you for the link! Okay, so I understand now that GPs are GPs, no matter what the insurance/NHS situation. It's just that they will see you as private patients. Alright, let's see what I can...
My situation is kind of a strange one. We have international health insurance, so my husband's company is saying that we should register with a "private physician/doctor." I'm told that we do not...

My thoughts EXACTLY! If they're going to discriminate against you for being pregnant, they're probably going to do other things that are not so desirable in an employer. I got my present job (not a...

I'm going to weigh in on the side of telling the nurse manager at your meeting next week. Although they were not nursing jobs, I landed TWO jobs while pregnant (at about the point in pregnancy you...
Wow. A nurse needs MY expertise for a change! There are certain guidelines the IRS uses to determine whether you are, in fact, an independent contractor. The agency doesn't get to decide that. More...
