  1. Cleveland/Akron areas

    I am not a nurse or even a nursing student anymore, but do visit this site occassionally. My niece graduated from Lorain County Community College in Elyria with her RN last year. They have a good reputation also, but do have wait lists. I believe...
  2. What is wrong with me????

    First of all I am not a nurse nor a nursing student any longer, but I know exactly what you are talking about. I went round and round with my decision to go or not to go to nursing school. I took all the pre-reqs, got accepted into the program seve...
  3. No I wouldn't recommend nursing

    I never made it to become a nurse. Completed all the pre-reqs and even started one nursing class and dropped out. It took me awhile to realize I didn't want to be a nurse. I love the field of nursing, but I decided I didn't want to go through the ...
  4. Should I or should I not BECOME A NURSE??!

    That's what I ended up doing. I took all the pre-requistes and was for sure I was going to go for nursing, but I am not now and my courses are applying to a Bachelor's in Social Work. My A&P's and Micro classes all count toward the number of sc...
  5. Should I or should I not BECOME A NURSE??!

    I guess I don't understand. Are you going to school and going to make money for your mother? I know you are young, but it is YOUR life and you have to live it. No amount of money will make you happy if you do something for someone else. You act a...
  6. Should I or should I not BECOME A NURSE??!

    Apply for a job working in a hospital as a CNA or unit secretary and take the time to make sure this is what you want. This is what I did. I took a job as a unit secretary and it helped me so much. Although I love the nursing field, I realized tha...
  7. Career Conflict: Nursing, yes or no

    I agree with you. I just quit a Unit Secretary job because I didnt' like it. It also helped me to realize that I do not want to do nursing. I didn't like the rude doctor's, the craziness around the desk, the very low pay and working holidays and w...
  8. Too Many Crabby Nurses!!

    I just started as a unit secretary and have spent my 3rd day today on the floor and the secretary that is training me appears to be crabby all the time, she never smiles, seems to get aggravated when she is taking off orders if there is alot and make...
  9. Weekend and holiday work question

    Well I checked and there is not extra pay for working the holiday. I think that really stinks. They really have you because if you want the job, you have to suffer with the holidays and no extra pay. I just think that they should pay time and 1/2 ...
  10. Weekend and holiday work question

    Thanks for the responses. I did look at the calendar and the rest of my weekends for the year do no fall with holidays. My next holiday, if I am correct will be Thanksgiving (which my husband will not be happy about) but I figured I will be on days...
  11. Weekend and holiday work question

    Hello everyone, I am hoping to gain a little insight here. I applied for a Unit Secretary position at one of the hospitals in my area and was hired for a 40/per pay position. I understand that this includes holidays and every other weekend and really...

    What are they? I've never heard of these.
  13. Breast Cancer questions

    Thanks for sharing. It's good to learn what is happening. I will definitely share this information with her. Glad to hear your mom is doing well. It's encouraging to hear good reports such as this.
  14. Breast Cancer questions

    I don't think she felt any lumps, but I don't really know if she did self-exams very well, but was pretty good about getting her mammograms until the last two years. I hope your results turn out to be good. Good luck and thanks for the kinds words.

    Hope your sister is doing well. Thanks for sharing with me.
