  1. I bought a rolling briefcase type of thing to bring my books back and forth to class. I did this mainly becasue I have 3 of my 4 classes on the same days (plus a lab) and there are 6 books I wil have to transport most days. I am 34 and did not want...
  2. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    Good for you! You are doing what I am doing with the exercise, building up. It is the only way I can get going on exercise. I set up my own eight week plan because I have a treadmill, eliptical and a bow flex. Each week I either go longer or add ...
  3. Hating 'group work' assignments

    I have not had to do any group projects yet but I will not like it much when I do. I can get along with people just fine but will not like someone else's work habits determining MY grade. Has anyone ever had any luck going to the professor and aski...
  4. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    I am just on the regular ediets plan. I went to change my plan option because I thought you could change tot the south beach plan but I can't. The plan I am on now seems kind of bland for my tastes. Maybe I will check into the glycemic one. Is th...
  5. Healthier Living Support Thread: PART TWO!

    OK guys, I'm back on the healthy living bandwagon! I started my new way of eating (don't want to say "diet" ) on Wednesday and as of this morning I have lost 6 pounds. I always loose a lot in the first week though and then it gets hard so we shall...
  6. School rant

    Sorry but I need to whine a little. Today in PSY we had a quiz. It is on the course outline that was handed out the first day of class so it SHOULD HAVE been no surprise to anyone. Yet, there were people that we like "oh no! we have a test today?...
  7. School rant

    Yes, I am at at CC. I just keep telling myself that it won't be like this in nursing school (I hope).
  8. School rant

    Speaking of waiting, in PSY class we are suppose to start at 7 am. Most people show up between 7:10 - 7:20 so she never starts lecture until at least 7:20. That leaves 30 minutes for lecture and she wanders off the subject so much that we probably ...
  9. Hi everyone. I am starting school at the age of 34 in January for my pre-req's. Nursing is something I have wanted to do since I was 13. Not just any nursing, but PEDS nursing. I am hoping to get a job after I graduate at a local Childrens Hospit...
  10. Fungal Infections!?!?

    I would never consider that. I paid good money for these breasts...LOL
  11. stinking of cigarette smoke

    I have highlighted a couple of things in your post that you pointed out about my post (which I think you might want to go back and read again, BTW). I have the ABSOLUTE right to be on the sidewalk walking to and from my classes and so do the smokers...
  12. stinking of cigarette smoke

    AMEN!!!!!!!!! I am soooo sick and tired of walking out the door of my class and inhailing a lung full of some other students cigarette smoke because they just had to go 50 minutes without a cigarette and can't have the common courtesy to go to the d...
  13. Barbaric doctor or oversensitive nurse?

    If I was the mom I think I would have refused to leave the room. They would have had to drag me out of there. I hope that stubborness will help me when I become a Pediatric Nurse. One other thing is that this child is probably TERRIFIED of medica...
  14. Does a W affect your GPA?

    If I decide to drop Bio at this point I would have to take a Withdrawl. Does anybody know if that affects your GPA? The lady I spoke to at the registration office really didn't know. Does it count against you in any way?
  15. Boliogy Dilema

    I just started my pre-req's this semester. I am taking ENG 101, PSY 101, MAT 092, and BIO 181. BIO 181 did not have ANY pre-req's so that is why I took it this semester since it is the pre-req for 2 other Biology courses I need to take (BIO 201 &am...
  16. Boliogy Dilema

    I did buy that book. I am going to spend all day Sunday studying that book and my BIO book and see if I can make some sense of this. If I can't then I think I may have to drop
  17. Anyone else in a funk?

    I'm with you. Lots of young kids in my classes. In fact, I am the oldest in 3 out of 4 of my classes! Some twerp today was tapping his shoe on the bck of my chair the whole class. I finally had to say something during the quiz because it was bugg...
  18. What type of nurse do you want to be??

    I want to work PEDS or NICU. To be honest, at this time I really do not want to nurse adults. Ever since I can remember I wanted to be a PEDS nurse. This could all change after my PEDS rotation though! It seems as if a lot of students say "NO WAY...
  19. What do you use to transport your books?

    I'm not considering his opinion. I bought the rolling briefcase. I said in my OP that I told him I was not there to make friends so I do not care what others think. I was just curious. I figured college would be full of those things. Oh and by ...
  20. What do you use to transport your books?

    Why wouldn't your A & P instructor want them in the class? That's stupid!
  21. Can we start a new forum for "older" student nurses

    i still have 10 more months until i am in the "older" group :rotfl:
  22. Breast Implants

    That's too funny! :rotfl: :roll
  23. Breast Implants

    I got breast implants (silicone) when I was 29. I am an hourglass shaped woman even with no fat on me so my hips stick out and my waist is small. After kids I had 2 "ladels" as I called them and decided to get implants. I went from a B cup to a D ...
  24. Ohhhhh your a Nurse!?!?

    I too hate people like that and the waitress thing is true. In fact, I have always told my daughter to look at how her dates (when she starts dating...UGH!) treat the wait staff. That will give her an indication of what type of a person they really...
  25. Calculator?

    Does anyone know what type of a calculator I will need for Algebra?
