   DESIDERATA "Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull ...

2. Who else is in A&P now??

   Motivated, SN replied to JennyRN2B's topic in General Students

   I started last week also, twice a week; one instructor for lecture and one for lab. They both seem nice and open to EXPLAINING things if there are questions. I hope this is a good sign. I'm also taking Life Span Development. We have to do a prese...

   I am finishing pre-reqs this semester and hope to start the nursing program Fall 2003; it depends on the waiting list. I hope I don't have to wait longer. I'm not getting any younger. lol

4. About to begin CNA classes...advice?

   Motivated, SN replied to FeedaMouse's topic in General Nursing

   I am just finishing CNA and pre-reqs for nursing. It has given me an appreciation for what CNA's have to do; and for very low pay; which I don't feel I would have had otherwise. We don't have six different classes here, so I'm not sure what your pr...

8. "RN Shortage???" What about LPNs?

   Motivated, SN posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   It seems to me that everything I read about the "Nursing Shortage", actually means "RN shortage". "How do we retain Rns?" "The survey of RNs showed..." Bla, bla, bla. This is by no means meant as disrespect to RNs; I may be one someday, just frustr...

   Robyn: I never did alot of reading about it, but one of my sons was dx with ADHD & ODD too. I don't feel that its my fault. One of the things that I do remember reading though that definitely fit my son was, that kids with ODD view authority as...

14. How would you feel about taking care of a patient as the one described?

    Motivated, SN replied to betts's topic in General Students

    This was great. It confirmed what I have always believed; that perception is EVERYTHING. I will probably be working in LTC for awhile; although it was something I never wanted to do. But I am working on changing my perceptions and this will defini...

15. Assingment under protest

    Motivated, SN replied to l.rae's topic in Safety

    It is amazing to me that hospitals would rather receive "crates" of these forms, risk lawsuits, pay out money for agency and traveling nurses; rather than just correct the problems and be done with it. At that risk of getting blasted by some; my son...
