Have you checked LTC? Many nursing homes would be more than willing to give you a Fri-Sun schedule. They tend to be much more flexible than hospitals.

One of the large hospitals where I am (Midwest) is a catholic hospital. They pray before every shift and meetings. I'm not catholic but if I got hired there I would respectfully bow my head and have...

I've worked all three shifts and nights are by far the easiest. The busiest night (and it does get busy) is not comparable to the busiest day. I won't do nights during school bc I don't function...

Our school has pretty decent book buy-back rates, so I buy and return them. But the first college I went to had terrible buy-back rates; I always rented those ones.

At the LTC facility, the aides are not required to be certified. Their names would definitely not be on that list...

I have one resident (LTC) who was convinced that we were impregnating her and her roommate, and that she had just given birth and was pregnant again already. We got a phone call from a concerned...

Bed bath + change and shave? 15 minutes tops. We use a no-rinse shampoo and soap - if all of the supplies are gathered beforehand it shouldn't take any longer. Unless you are blessed with hours of...

Did you submit an appeal to your nursing school board? I actually failed a (chemistry) class my 1st semester...was able to submit a letter of appeal and was readmitted. With only 8 weeks left, I...

That's assuming you actually make it to that point without getting caught.

Ok but to be fair... The first two semesters of nursing school I did all that stuff - was always on top of showers, bed changes, toileting, etc. but I was also only assigned to 1-2 patients on...

I've lived in Alaska for the majority of my life. I love it there. Unfortunately, not quite a nurse yet and have not worked in any hospitals in Anchorage. So I have no advice, but I wanted to say hi...

The facility I work at at home is great with scheduling college students. The facility I work at while at school is the one the op is about. I will try to find another job, I just worry about...

Background: I am a college student who goes to university out of state. I go home over Christmas and summer vacation. When I started at this nursing home (9/2011) I let my boss know I'd be going back...

I'm a student too. I drive 75 miles round trip 3x a week. This won't change once I graduate. I am a bit of a hermit so I like living out in the country...the drive doesn't bother me.

I heart those pink mouth swabs! I have a couple LOL who are total care and their mouths get so nasty! The mouth swabs get the job done.

As far as how doable it would be work wise, if those were your only two, you could probably do it. However, in my experience they aren't offered at the same time. For example, both universities I...

Do you know what floor you'll be on? Our first semester we were on a med/surg/onc floor and the meds/assessment/patients were a lot different than the cardiac step down unit I got the second...

I was the homeschooled weirdo who was taking college classes at the age of 16. Definitely not a genius, but responsible enough to get almost 3 semesters of college completed before I graduated high...

Why is this a red flag? I'm from a small town and this is a question on the hospital application. I never thought once that there was anything bad about it...they don't want family members in...

Why you should never be Facebook friends with anyone at your job.

Got accepted with a 3.8, it is now a 3.4. Sigh....

The LTC facility where I work as a NA gave everyone, regardless of hours worked, $25. Super, right? My 18 y/o sister works for a pathologist. Started in September, works part time. Received a $200...

Mine was a regular semester long course. Summer courses are generally all summer long, though.

Apparently not failing = amazing grades! Tactless or not, with the exception of saying she will most likely fail next semester, nothing Trenbolone Acetate has said is wrong. Her grades are too...

Unfortunately, the people telling you that those grades are ok are wrong. That was an easy course load and you didn't do very well. I would seriously consider retaking college algebra to get that...
