    Here are some of my fav's *It's never too late to become the person you might have been - George Elliot *Forget love, I'd rather fall in chocolate! *Life is fragile, handle with prayer. *The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's u...
  3. Do Nurses Eat Their Young?

    I'd have to say you are absolutely right about the hospital food chain in small-middle sized towns. I don't even work in nursing yet. I am in admissions and I see some of the worst eating of young co-workers that could possibly happen. And it happens...
  4. To be, or not to be, that is the question...

    Thank you all for listening and for your advice. I just wanted to update and say that I have decided to go for it. I talked to the Director of Nursing today and I don't need to take the lpn pre-req's again. I just have to re-test for the admissions a...
  5. Need Advice

    Yes, I took a 2 year medical billing and coding program. I have an associate degree of applied science. I haven't gotten a job in the field yet so I don't know about pay for sure. I live in Ky and our wage scale here seems much lower anyway. Our teac...
  6. Need Advice

    I'm graduating next week with a degree in Billing and Coding. It's not a bad field to be in if you like looking things up...a lot. I think of it as almost detective work. Good luck in whatever you try.

    Thank you jenni for stopping to answer my question and for lending an ear. I'm thinking that I just may give it a try :)

    Thank you do much for your response and for sharing your response. I bet you are wonderful at what you do, and yes I'm sure there are clinical nurses that are thankful that there are those like you who enjoy the administrative sided of things :)
  9. Hi there. I haven't been to this forum in forever. I used to come here all of the time when I was in nursing school back in 2005. I was in an lpn program. I was making good grades but felt that I lacked in the clinical aspect of things. I don't have...
  10. My ALMOST 5 year old refuses to poop on the potty!

    I am having the same problem with my son. He will be 4 in February. However he won't pee in the potty either. He refuses to even sit on the potty. I've tried everything I can think of, he seems genuinely scared of the potty. I even went out and bough...
  11. You're going to Community College?

    I actually drive an hour and a half one way to attend a cc when there is a university 10 min from my house. The cc has one of the best nursing programs in this area. But I don't care what naysayers think about it, ie my extended family (especially th...
  12. Dreading clinicals

    I'd say it will get better for you. I'm starting my 2nd semester of my LPN program tomorrow, and I absolutely HATED clinicals at first. Actually hate is an understatement. I almost quit the program because of it. But I hung in there and they most cer...
  13. RN entrance exam (PSB)

    Has anyone taken the Psychological Services Bureau entrance exam for RN's? I'm in an LPN program now but am testing Monday for the RN entrance exam. You're allowed to take it twice and I've taken it once already. I did well on everything but the verb...
  14. Geriatrics class in nursing program?????

    I'm in an LPN Program and we have had a Geriatrics class this first semester. I'm really surprised that your curriculum did not include Geriatrics classes. Good luck to you.
  15. Clinicals: Do you LOVE it???

    Ummm...that would be a big no! I don't like them. :chair: I don't like clinicals here or there. I do not like clinicals with green eggs and ham, I do not like them sam I am. :barf01:
