   1gindragon2 replied to letsbefriends's topic in New Nurse

   Keep your chin up, take a deep breath and drive on ! Good for you for having the insight to really see that you did not need that company. Now copy and paste this post in an official letter to your state board of nursing and to the hospital CEO and C...

2. Pre-Nursing School Jitters

   1gindragon2 replied to OKNurse2be's topic in General Students

   Congratulations on acceptance to nursing school. I am an LVN, and will graduate with my BSN in 6 days ! It has been a wonderfully, grueling experience. I have just a bit of advice for all the new nursing students: Do not get behind or procrastinat...

3. Am I being realistic? Nursing school at 45?

   1gindragon2 replied to aidensmom403's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Oh yes def go for it. I have 4 semesters left for my BSN and I am currently 48. I did the LVN route first due to a separation then divorce. IMHO noone is too old for education.

4. Would you work as a CNA or LVN if you could not find work as an RN?

   1gindragon2 replied to indigonurse's topic in Career Support

   There are jobs available for RNs. Maybe you need to broaden your horizon and check elsewhere. IF you are single and have no children I would recommend checking with the military. They have a need for nurses both in the states and overseas. Not all...

5. Is this cheating?

   1gindragon2 replied to BluegrassRN's topic in General Students

   IMHO as long as it is cited properly, its not cheating. The whole self-plagarism thing is odd but apparently is valid @ most universities and colleges.

6. Chicago job market for new RN-BSN grads?

   1gindragon2 replied to mk2010's topic in Illinois

   It is possible that you will need to look further away for the type of job you want. If you are up to moving, why not check in all states just to see what you may find elsewhere. I am in a LVN/BSN program currently in TX. I searched last year for g...

7. Those who get it - get it, Those who don't - Never Will.

   1gindragon2 replied to abbaking's topic in Relations

   Personally I get it :) however, I feel you come across rude and angry. I hope that you are just venting here and this is not your work attitude. If it is, I don't want you anywhere near my family.

8. Is it to late for me to become a Nurse?

   1gindragon2 replied to louis345's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Take a part time job working in the type of facility you would like to work at later, see what is done. If that is not possible, call that facility and talk with their nurse manager to see if she has time to give you a tour and talk with you about n...

9. CNA shoes - what kind to get?

   1gindragon2 replied to CNAkt's topic in CNA/MA

   I am an LVN and do clinic work. I am at the end of our building so I walk constantly when rooming patients. I had a pair of Sketchers walking shoes that I loved. When those wore out I tried a pair of Danskin walkers and my heels have hurt ever sin...
