   My 79 yr old friend has been diagnosed with leukemia and something else called something like "fibertickulitis". I'm sure I'm spelling it wrong because I can't find any info on it on the web, but that's exactly how she said the doc pronounced it. Any...

   I am applying to an technical school here which lasts for 12 months. Although I've heard of the many advantages of becoming an RN over LPN, and one day do want to be an RN, this is the best route for me right now. I keep seeing these ads on the net, ...

9. Criminal History?? UHOH

   lost_as_an_easteregg posted a topic in General Nursing

   Embarassed to ask, but I don't know how else to find out. I was charged over 3 years ago with bad checks. Just stupidity and neglect on my behalf. Nothing sense then. I've worked in nursing homes that "supposedly" did criminal background checks and n...

    I have been a stay at home mom for the past 7 years also, besides a part time job I worked as a CNA. Did they seem to give you a hard time during the application process about sitting at home and doing nothing for so long? They kind of made an issue ...
