   No implants-I was diagnosed with psoriatic/rheumatoid arthritis. I take it day by day, some I am horribly achy, others are more tolerable. Thanks for the thoughts!

   Thanks for the reply amy, I am going to try my best, who knows maybe I will come out of this thinking it was the best experience in the world and want to go into peds...need to turn this fear around a little. Thanks again I appreciate your help.

8. Anyone here in an RN program eligible for LPN boards?

   Mandarella replied to Mandarella's topic in LPN-RN

   yes, actually I will only be working on the permit until graduation. I am so far 95% sure I won't take the LPN boards. My NM cleared me for the position and by the time I graduate I will be working for about 3-4 months. So it is not worth it unless...

9. Anyone here in an RN program eligible for LPN boards?

   Mandarella replied to Mandarella's topic in LPN-RN

   GPN's here need permit in hand to work until boards are taken, but graduate RN's may work immediately after graduation without a permit until it comes in the mail...as long as they have sent in for it. They say that the difference is because we are f...

13. Date MD's??

    Mandarella replied to mindyk04's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: I am married but even before that there was no interest for me there. Whether it was the attitude some carried or the hours worked, it just wasn't a right match for me all around.

14. How can I place distance between myself and another student?

    Mandarella replied to StarNurse2006's topic in General Students

    :yeahthat: Geez, I can't really offer any different advice than what is posted, but you have a lot on your plate. I wish you the best of luck, try not to let her ruin the week before your wedding! That's not the memories you want of preparing for yo...

15. SAHM's - We are amazing!

    Mandarella replied to amybethf's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am a "quasi' SAHM! During school I work 4-8 hours/week. I have recently bumped up more during my summer break. My nursing classes are great, they are a more mature group- starting families, already have them, or have raised their kids and are now w...
