Hello (again)


Hi everyone...it's been a while since I've been in here--kinda fell off the face of the planet. Well, not exactly...as some of you might remember, I started nursing school this past August. It's very time-consuming. Basically, I eat, sleep, & study (but mostly study). It's hard work, but I'm loving it. Finals are next week, so I really should be studying right now, but I just can't force myself to do it. I've been meaning to get back on here and catch up with everyone, so I have seized the moment.

Hope all's well with you guys. Oh, and a big welcome to all the newbys.

That's the best part!Even with all that's going on, still no seizures (knock on wood)

I know this may sound niave, but I was actually very surprised to learn that in my class of 40, 3 other ppl have/had E (and 2 others have a loved one with E)...I guess I never realized how common it is. Or maybe something in the water around here? Is it really that common, or is that some sort of fluke?

Good to hear from you again Morgan. Congrats on all your hard work at college.

I wonder if the fact that some of your fellow students have E is what directed them to careers in the medical field. You know, those of us who have needed the help realize how rewarding it is to help others. Just a thought.


BTW = What kind of cookies do you have on the dark side??? Mmmmmm...Coooookies!!!!

The national average is closer to 1 in 100 (or 1%).

Hey Morgan

Buckeye has a good point. There is usually something that motivates us to follow a certain career path. In my case, epilepsy and psychology. A seemingly large number of people in my Masters program had been touched by either chronic mental health issues and/or physical disabilities (either themselves or a close family member). So, I imagine in a nursing program it would be even more-so. Just my

Good luck on those finals and I'm REALLY glad to hear so far no seizures!

Hey, by the way, give me a cookie...I joined the dark side when I started taking Keppra

Take care. -Julie
