It's a shame that there are those "friends" and family out there who are jealous of other's accomplishments. They should be proud and supportive, because nursing is hard (but rewarding) work. I'm not in nursing school yet, but I do commend anyone who...
I don't see anything wrong with more people out there wanting to become nurses. I actually think it's great that more people want to get into the profession, but I do see your point about the ones who only get into it for the money. IMHO, I don't thi...
fairycari, that sounds great, but i have a question. what if i don't have any waitress/bartending experience? is that something taught on the job? if so, then i'm willing to give it a try. that is pretty good $$$ in tips for just 2 days a week!!
These are all great replies! Thanks everyone for your suggestions. A unit clerk position would be my first choice once it's set in stone, and I've also thought about waitressing at Chili's or someplace similar, if you say they are flexible with thei...
Hi, I need some advice. After the long wait, it finally looks like there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and I may be able to go to nursing school in a few months (hopefully in the fall)! I've spent the last 11 years working in an office durin...
Wow, I'm sorry to hear that your boyfriend doesn't really support you or take this seriously. But at the same time, I'm glad you realize you need to get away from him, and that you are not going to let him (or anyone) get in the way of your dreams....
Sorry to hear you're being treated this way. It's never an enjoyable experience, I know exactly how you feel. Have you ever spoken to Jenny one-on-one and told her how you feel? Maybe you need to call a meeting with her so you can let her know jus...
Sorry...I realized that I got carried away with talking about my son and have gotten off the subject "Nursing Ghost Stories". Unfortunately I'm not a nurse yet, but hopefully I will have some interesting stories to post once I become one!
Babs, I know you're not trying to frighten me, but I can't help but be worried, because ever since my son was about 14 months, he's been seeing things...in almost every place we've lived! (I actually have more stories, but will save for another time....
My son was always sensitive when it came to strange stuff. When we used to live in our mobile home several years ago, my husband and I always heard a T.V. or music on (it was some kind of noise) whenever the heater/air conditioner was running, but w...
I really love these stories! Please keep em' coming! I've always been interested in the paranormal, and many of these are quite fascinating and some are touching. I have a story that comes from my mother. She was an LVN who worked at a hospital down...
Hi. I'm not sure where to post this, so I'm going to start by posting it in the general nursing forum. I'm pre-nursing, just finished up my pre-reqs for the R.N. program, but I'm currently waiting for my husband to graduate (next month) and find a ...
Do some of you pre-nursing students get this? Even when you're not a nurse yet, some people still expect you to know things that you haven't even learned about? I'm not in nursing school yet, and one time when my mother-in-law was in the hospital, ...
