4. Becoming an RN just for the paycheck

   agw505 replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in General Nursing

   Well, first I may be posting on the wrong forum. I am not an RN but an LPN. I admit that I did get into nursing for a job, had no idea what I was getting into during school. They paint a different picture for you. Now things are different in schools,...

5. Michigan: Does anyone know of a LPN or RN ADN program with no wait or that is free

   agw505 replied to nursing123098's topic in Michigan

   Many years ago I went to school (LPN) on the C.E.T.A. program, in Mississippi. I started at the local unemployment office. There was a wait, I had no income, just got by. Now there is a program here in Tn. My daughter in law is in it, over half way ...

6. Any Nurses recieving SSD/SSI

   agw505 replied to Poochee's topic in Disabilities

   Well, I live in Tennessee. I quit work in February 2005. I applied to SS in March (the same year) and was approved and payments started in August with my first check in September. I had no lawyer. I think it depends on each person's situation. I have...

   agw505 replied to mondkmondk's topic in Disabilities

   agw505 replied to Poochee's topic in Disabilities

   Opinions are like butts, everyone has one! I quit my job of 27 years in 2005, I had been working 12 hours a day, 3 or 4 days a week for 10 years. We were 'glorified CNA's' at the end. We did vitals, passed trays, fed patients, medications, bath and b...

10. Would this offend you?

    agw505 replied to mondkmondk's topic in Disabilities

    Michelle, I cannot say I know how you feel, I haven't adopted a baby. I know that no matter what problems my two children and grandchildren might have had, I would not have felt I couldn't handle their situation. I was raised to believe that God will...

    Chevy, I became a RBK amputee in 1966. I went to nursing school in 1976, passed boards in 1977 and went to work that year. The school and hospital were aware of my amputation, but after moving back to my hometown, I went to work at a local small hosp...
