3. Unsupportive spouse?

   DreamKeeper68 replied to spierre's topic in ADN/BSN

   You are definitely not the only one. I am not in the program yet but my support system sucks at times. I have been working on assignments only to have someone ask me what's for dinner or if I can take a break to watch a movie with them. I don't think...

   I just love finding the positive in all situations. They can choose to not take your credits (it happened to me also), but they can't take you're knowledge. Go and impress the new school with how smart you are. Earn those A's!

   DreamKeeper68 replied to iheartcells's topic in General Students

   You have definitely opened a can of worms with your comment. I know it was 'told' to you but not everything you hear is worth repeating. I attend a community college. Most of my professors also teach at the big universities in the area. That comment...

    It has been a long haul but I am finally done. After five schools, many sleepless nights, too many tears, and lots of doubt I finally finished my prerequisites. I have know for over 40 years that I wanted to be a nurse. I joined the army thinking th...

    I am taking my last set of prerequisite classes now. I have know that I wanted to be a nurse for over 40 years. I served in the Army for 22 years. During that time I got married/divorced, and raised a family. Now that the kids are grown and self suff...
