   futurecnm replied to SunshineeStudent's topic in General Nursing

   You can definitely date and have fun during nursing school! I was married with 2 kids and got a 4.0. Hard yes, but it was fine. Don't plan too much. Things will happen they way they should.

   go to a community college. You won't be in debt more than 10k for a RN.

   futurecnm replied to CAN_SN's topic in Emergency

   Your employer will most likely pay for you to get what certifications they want you to have and you will do better in the classes once you have experience.

8. From Outpatient to ED... career change

   futurecnm replied to DentoniRN's topic in General Nursing

   I worked ER for 3 years and would never go back. Some people love it, but it's definitely not for everyone. Be sure before you leave your current job.

9. Calling in for no sleep

   futurecnm replied to Nurse131382's topic in General Nursing

   I personally wouldn't call in for not sleeping. Were you sick or lacking sleep? If sick, that's different story and you could have asked that question. Maybe you should look at getting off nights.

11. How to become a lactation consultant??

    futurecnm replied to gvrn13's topic in General Nursing

    I looked into it many years ago. You need to get so many contact hours of direct lactation education to new moms was a huge part of it. To start, you might want to start working in post partum where you can get the hours and they may pay for your edu...

13. Should I continue with nursing?

    futurecnm replied to armyj1986's topic in Disabilities

    Are your medical conditions well controlled? Can you work 8-12 hours at a time?

14. Is this a threat?

    futurecnm replied to silentwolves's topic in Disabilities

    2 days is pretty quick to be seen for a W/C. I believe FMLA is 12 weeks. Not sure how long they have to honor restrictions. If you can't fully do the job I'm sure at some point they can let you go.

15. New Rule: No work bags allowed in ER

    futurecnm replied to DarknTwistyERRN's topic in Emergency

    We aren't allowed personal bags at the nursing station. Any resources you need should be on your intranet. You shouldn't have to provide your own supplies.
