  1. Robin Williams RIP: Coping Mechanism?

    There is also speculation that Jim Carey suffers from major depression as well. Both of them over-act quite a bit and I, too, wondered if it was some sort of a coping mechanism. So sad either way.
  2. Assessment is easy but time consuming and requires great detail. Research is awful. Just awful. With a good group you are looking at 30 hrs/week of work up to 50+ with a bad group. There are many bad groups. Week 2 in vulnerable is tricky but the c...
  3. Research is beyond awful. I had a decent group and easily spent 40 hours a week on it. I felt that vulnerable was ok, but the week 2 assignment took me about 28 hours. So, if you can call out of work that week, that's what I would do.
  4. Simmons College FNP September 2014

    I want to go to Simmons but my main concern now is money. I have a spot being held at UMB and I also interviewed for a TA position there (5hrs/week, free tuition and 25% off all fees) which will sweeten the pot if I get the job. However, I've never w...
  5. Letting very young children see a dying patient

    Personally, faced with this, I would seek the guidance of a mental health professional on what the best course of action would be. Young kids can't understand illness if their parents look healthy (ie: early stages of cancer) but I would think they c...
  6. Nursing Research online starting 5/19

    Holding up? This class was my 4.0 killer for sure!
  7. Simmons College FNP September 2014

    I applied for September but haven't heard anything yet. How do I check my application status??
  8. UMass Boston- is there smething I'm missing??

    I have never received a package as of yet. UMass assists you but I hear you largely have to work on your own to find them which I'm terrified of as I don't have hospital experience or many connections. Will you be attending in the fall?
  9. Fired 6 weeks into orientation

    I'm going to pop in and say that "they was" not doing anything, but "they WERE doing something." Grammar issues like this drive me batty!
  10. Will every CNA get injured at one point?

    As some who ruptured a disc 6 months in and who still can't feel the back of her left leg: 1) lift weights! Strengthen your core and arms so they can bare the brunt of lifting and also do lifts to work out your back for overall strength as well. 2) a...
  11. Differences in death procedures between adults and children

    I'm so sorry to hear this. Your family will be in my thoughts.
  12. Nursing Research online starting 5/19

    I'm glad! Research is tough...if you want a good grade then you need To be fully responsible for everyone else and their work which is doubly stressful! It will end and you will move on! It's like summiting a mountain - no other class in this program...

    How's it going with your group and grades?
  14. UMass Boston- is there smething I'm missing??

    Did anyone here get into UMass Boston? Or, for anyone who has been there, do they ever send an official "package" with intro materials and cost information? I have received a few e-mails from them, but other than my admission letter, but nothing with...
  15. Days or Nights with kids?

    I think the nights thing is tough which adds another element of complexity to the situation. I'm a night owl and working nights is killing me after 2 years. Especially because it takes me 1.5-2hrs to get home in traffic. I couldn't imagine this with ...
