Hey can we make up a list for the incoming September class with a bit of info so we can help each other out? I'll start to give an idea:

Female, over 35, coming with a dependent (child). Currently in Chicago.
Will be living off campus
BA from U of TX at Dallas 2003
Previous work experience in pediatric home health nursing and school nursing
Strengths: pretty calm, good grasp of pediatric diseases, related medications and practical experience with some procedures such as catheterization, putting down a nasogastric tube, blood draws, doing vital signs.
Weaknesses: Biochemistry (big time), need to work on getting in shape!
For fun: with a 65 hour a week work schedule, sleep is my fun time, but I love reading and really am looking forward to the beaches during off time.

Hope to hear from others!

Can we sticky this thread until September?

Good Idea Pedidoc! I'm 22 from Jersey. Muslim. Graduated... actually 2 weeks ago with a bachelors in science in Exercise Science. Lots of shadowing and doctor experience (although I haven't cath'd anyone ever so not as cool as Pedidoc) Was an Anatomy TA for one of the few cadaver labs throughout the east coast for almost 2 years

Strengths: Physics!! Although that won't help much. Anatomy (LOVE IT!) A people person, friendly once you get to know me
