1. Any moms in Nursing School feeling guilty?

   Cherry2 replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

   I do, in some ways, but I often get my son (3 years in october) to help me learn stuff. I am only in first semester, so we are doing the complete basics. We practice proper handwashing together, he lets me practice range of motion exercises on him, s...

2. The Winds have Changed

   Cherry2 replied to MedicalLPN's topic in LPN/LVN

   That's sad. I mean, here you are hospitalized and that isn't good enough? I am sorry. Maybe you will find a batter job soon though! :)

3. The Winds have Changed

   Cherry2 replied to MedicalLPN's topic in LPN/LVN

   I am just beginning LPN school, but I do understand how you feel. My plan had been to do RN, but in getting ready to apply, I realized it would just be too much for me now. So what? Right now all I care about is getting my LPN then working for a year...

4. depression and having a nursing career

   Cherry2 replied to LickleMiss_Sunshine's topic in General Students

   I was just coming here to post this exact thing. My anxiety issues get worse when faced with a presentation in class, or when asked a question which I have to respond to in front of the class- it gives me panic attacks. I have just restarted antidepr...

5. Who's got the dorkiest student uniforms?

   Cherry2 replied to tutored's topic in General Students

   We are only allowed to wear pastels or white scrubs (or dresses) though we don't have to wear white unless the specific place we are in requires all white. White shoes, and white hose/socks are required. If we choose to wear the dresses, we have to w...

6. First day in school for LPN....

   Cherry2 posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

   and already I have had someone question why I would bother since "the pay sucks and no one will hire LPN's" This was coming from a nurse friend I know online who also lives in Ontario. I can't handle 4 years now.. I have an almost three year old, no ...

7. Ontario LPN's - how many are bridging?

   Cherry2 replied to linzz's topic in International

   I think Georgian does have the program... I just finished at humber college for upgrading certain classes and one of the girls in my classes had applied for the RN at Georgian. She got in, but I don't know if she accepted. Why do you think they don't...

8. Why the program length difference? CAN/US

   Cherry2 replied to Cherry2's topic in LPN/LVN

   Really Fiona? That is great! Honestly, I have been wondering why it WASN'T like that all along. It just makes sense to do that in my opinion.

9. Banning Crocs due to Static Electricity

   Cherry2 replied to nurse-to-be1000's topic in Uniform/Gear

   If it helps, the actual term for what crocs are made of is: EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene-vinyl_acetate

10. Someone please help me!! Cost of LPN school?

    Cherry2 replied to ajhutch's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Mine is about $7000 for the 2 year program at a college, but I am in Canada, so I guess that isn't helpful to you, since we do things differently in that respect. Coming from another mom, who is in school now... as much as it would suck to be even f...

11. This is why being an LPN is just as good....

    Cherry2 replied to sassiebaz's topic in LPN/LVN

    Yes, it is. They are called "Licensed Practical NURSES" for a reason.. lol. Despite what my mother in law (the RN drop out!) tries to tell me. :)

12. Liquid Gold

    Cherry2 replied to Cmariehart's topic in General Nursing

    WRONG! I had one done just before my c-section when my son was born 2 years ago, and it was even worse than my recovery time afterwards. Honestly, the foley is what I remember as being the worst part. Well, all the laxatives they made me take weren't...

13. Crying when stressed/overwhelmed

    Cherry2 replied to SillyLilly's topic in New Nurse

    I do it too! I am about to start nursing school (fall 07) and I just KNOW that I will embarrass myself many, many times because of this. Sometimes I feel like the only person in the world that does it. Other people just don't get it- they think you a...

14. LPN school starts MOnday!! arghh

    Cherry2 replied to 2bLPNLilPrettyNewyorkr's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Oh I am so jealous! My program doesn't start till September... I have been doing dosage calculations in my math classes this term and they aren't too bad. I need a lot more practice, but I am sure I will get lots, lol. Good luck with school- let me k...
