1. Reconsidering LPN/nursing after reading online blogs

   ANurseWannaB replied to Dawn674's topic in LPN/LVN

   I went back and forth with the whole LPN/RN decision too. Too busy listening to what everyone else thought instead of what I knew was the right decision for me and my life. I've wasted a lot of time and effort chasing after schools when it all boiled...

2. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

   ANurseWannaB replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hello Everyone.... I just turned 44 years old this past June. My plans include the PN program at Fortis Institute this coming September. I've often wondered if it's all for naught at my age, but it's truely where my heart is. If I don't pursue my dr...

3. LPN Program: which one?

   ANurseWannaB replied to ANurseWannaB's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I'm really leaning more towards BOCES in Binghamton, NY. Their tuition is cheaper, program runs 10 months, 35 min. travel time-straight shot, and there's night/part-time classes available. The downfalls are that I am not assured admission in 2011, a...

4. LPN Program: which one?

   ANurseWannaB posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Hello Everyone! Has anyone here ever attended Broome Tioga Boces in Binghamton, Ny? I'm thinking about enrolling in their LPN program, instead of Allied, due to distance (I live in New Milford, Pa.) and length of program (10 months). This program beg...

5. Fired all the LPN's

   ANurseWannaB replied to nlhnurse1982's topic in LPN/LVN

   I live in Northeastern, Pa. I am glad now that I have decided to go for my RN rather than LPN. It was a tossup for quite a while--but not anymore after hearing this. I just think it is horrendous the way they just tossed those LPNs out without regard...

6. Hygiene--HELP PLEASE

   ANurseWannaB replied to ANurseWannaB's topic in General Nursing

   FairyCari, Thank for your honest input, but I am not up for any more new marriages or big changes in my life. This is my second marriage and if this one don't work then I'm 'not looking' for another one. I'm also not giving up that easily on this mar...

7. Hygiene--HELP PLEASE

   ANurseWannaB replied to ANurseWannaB's topic in General Nursing

   Rachelgeorgina, I have tried in the past to coax him into better hygiene. I'm now to the straight forward and nagging approach--even that doesn't work. I've threatened him that I'm going to post his hygiene habits on my Facebook because I'm at my wit...

8. Hygiene--HELP PLEASE

   ANurseWannaB replied to ANurseWannaB's topic in General Nursing

   Have you been married long? Is this new, getting worse lately, or a long-standing issue that you've had enough of? Because if it's a change it's come from somewhere and that might help you work out why. What happens when you try to discuss it with hi...

9. Hygiene--HELP PLEASE

   ANurseWannaB replied to ANurseWannaB's topic in General Nursing

   I was thinking it was his age as far as the sex drive goes; he is 58-years-old. What about plain laziness as far as hygiene goes? Sometimes I think that since he has some problems with erections that he purposely shows bad hygiene so I won't get clos...

10. Hygiene--HELP PLEASE

    ANurseWannaB replied to ANurseWannaB's topic in General Nursing

    I thought of that, but that is highly unlikely. I've asked him to go in the past for the sake of our marriage but he refuses. Why are you suggesting therapy?

11. Hygiene--HELP PLEASE

    ANurseWannaB posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have a dilema with my husband... He refuses to take a shower for a week at a time, sometimes longer. He thinks washing his hair in the morning for work and putting on cologne will suffice. I suppose it's a good thing that he's pretty much lost his...

12. LPN Duties

    ANurseWannaB replied to Colormyworld's topic in LPN/LVN

    I'm with ConfusedShoes on this one. I'm 43 years old now and I'm worn out going back and forth trying to decide on LPN or RN. With Allied Med and Tech Institute, it will be cheaper and a seat is practically assured for me. No NET required, but there ...

13. LPN or RN

    ANurseWannaB posted a topic in LPN/LVN

    Hi Everyone, I am really torn as to whether I should go to LPN or RN school. For that matter, even Radiologic Tech school. This is so frustrating going around and around with my career decision. I'm 43 years old now, and feel that this will be my la...
