1. Retire by 30, thanks nursing!

   shadchan replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

   Also true, but he won't be a stay at home dad if he doesn't invest in enough time with his wife to keep her around, or to have children with her.

   shadchan replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

   MiketheRN, that's very true! I'm not saying it's impossible at all. I am saying that speaking from a girlfriend/wife's point of view, a home life is so much more harmonious when both members of a relationship dedicate time out to enjoy each others' c...

   shadchan replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

   This has probably already been covered...just saying one thing more... The OP mentioned he wants to get married and be a stay at home dad in the future. That is an awesome goal, but working 60 hours a week is going to make it extremely hard to mainta...

4. Anatomy 1.....Help Please!

   shadchan replied to TonyFl's topic in General Students

   The lab is where I did most of the work on the bones. The lab manual had most of the resources on various bones including pictures and diagrams. It also helped me the most with dissection related material. Best of luck to you! You can do it!

5. Anatomy 1.....Help Please!

   shadchan replied to TonyFl's topic in General Students

   I just finished a combined A&P class and let me tell you...STUDY!!! With a capital S-T-U-D-Y! The cavities and planes will be easy, they are just methods and words used to help orient you to the body. A lot of the beginning chapters also orient y...

6. How much do CNA's make in So Cal?

   shadchan replied to Alpha13's topic in California

   Sorry to double post - I'd be AMAZED to see that kind of pay for LTC with benefits included. I've never seen LTC pay that much around here. Edit - I have heard, through the grapevine mind you, that Huntington Somethingorother hospital in Pasadena pay...

   LTC/SNF started at $10/hr with no prior experience for me. Went to $10.50 after my first evaluation.

   shadchan replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

   I am not old enough to provide true insight on this topic, I do however want to say - I am 20 years old and am SO DIFFERENT from the person I was at 18, it's not funny. That's even a farther departure from when I was 16 - not even in the same solar s...

9. Med Prepouring Question (CNA)

   shadchan replied to shadchan's topic in Safety

   I've applied at several places already, but I am more confident than I would be otherwise because I "sort of" have a second job - I work at my school's bookstore between and into the first few weeks of each semester, so I should be starting work with...

10. Per diem question

    shadchan posted a topic in CNA/MA

    I am looking at a per diem CNA position at a local hospital and I have some questions about y'alls experience with per diem work... Do hospitals usually look for on-call anytime-anywhere per diem workers or have you found that they are willing to wor...

11. Med Prepouring Question (CNA)

    shadchan replied to shadchan's topic in Safety

    Okay, I think I have one more question for everybody...you have been so helpful and I hope I am not wearing out my welcome! I've given it some thought and am sure that I will put in my two weeks very soon. I am just done. I happened to talk to one of...

12. The language of pain

    shadchan replied to squeakykitty's topic in General Nursing

    Chisgirl, I will shoot you a PM with more info so I don't drag this thread off topic, but yeah, it was mentioned to me at one point but none of the stuff done to me apparently showed any signs that that could be so.

13. The language of pain

    shadchan replied to squeakykitty's topic in General Nursing

    Oh gosh, I so definitely agree with you chisgirl. For years I've suffered from horrible dysmenorrhea (pale, sweating, shaking, vomiting, at times losing consciousness) and for a while I would take one of my mom's leftover painkillers from her own bac...

14. Med Prepouring Question (CNA)

    shadchan replied to shadchan's topic in Safety

    It is routine for the other caregivers to prepour days ahead of time. :S I thank you all for every bit of advice and encouragement. I have taken it to heart and I will also DEFINITELY be looking more at the PTA program Dutch. I'd rather put myself th...

15. Med Prepouring Question (CNA)

    shadchan replied to shadchan's topic in Safety

    Durr, I blended two sentences into one, Dutch. I MEANT to say that the PTA program was suggested to me by several people, and as far as the PT program, I knew it required a master's, yadda yadda...gotcha! Thanks for your help. I went to the session a...
