Congrats on the baby :) We are actually TTC and I'm planning to take a semester off if it happens. In my opinion, school and a job will always be there. (Heck, maybe even more jobs the more you wait...

You just had a bad night, everyone makes mistakes. You will land an RN job, and the economy is not likely to stay crappy forever. There have been ups and downs in the economy for decades, and nursing...

I would say no, CNAs really don't make that much, at least in my area. Most CNAs I know live with parents, husband or someone else sharing the bills.

I won my uniform vest and patches for free at mine :)

It shouldn't, if you go to another school they will give you transfer credit, but they won't figure the prior school's grades into their GPA calculation for your performance at their school.

Yes, with four days off I've done lots of celebrating with family and have time to work on a paper and study today.

No, I wouldn't want to hear about it from a coworker. I would want to hear it from my boss. He'll likely be hurt that other people knew before he did if you tell him.

I don't think you'd really need that in nursing school, you can get a good Littman for $130.

I was unsure about nursing and took a 2 year break from school. I went back to my previous job outside of nursing. The idea of nursing always sort of nagged at me and I found myself missing it, and...

Nursing school will ALWAYS be there. You can be 30, 40, 50, 60 and go to nursing school. Taking a semester off is not the end of the world. On the other hand, you cannot have a baby at 40 without...

Awesome, thank you. My maternity benefits don't go into effect until next month, so just wanted to not worry about that :)

Congrats :) :) We are TTC now and I'll take my 3rd semester off if I end up being due in Aug. I think nursing school would be an easier time than 12 hour shifts, on the feet all day on a new job....

Were you able to get a doctor's note saying you could continue your program with no restrictions if you were healthy?

You can take a semester off if you want, that's what I'm planning to do. (3rd semester). If you tried & conceived right away you'd be due in late Aug/early Sept. Your job will be there your entire...

A patient has the right to refuse any care they want, and they should still never be talked about in the hallway outside their room with a statement like "The medical professionals always know the...

There is a lot of misinformation in this thread. I am a Red Cross CPR instructor. The Red Cross offers CPR for Healthcare Providers, and for the lay person, just as the Heart Association does. The...

What prevents someone from just saying No, they've never been treated for a mental disorder? Health records are not public information. It's not like a criminal record that would show up on a...

OP, do you have any updates? I've read this whole post and I hope you finally got your baby and a job you love :) :heartbeat I agree, having a baby while looking for a job or the first year of...

You do need to know angles to measure with a goniometer to measure a decreased ability to extend an arm or something like that....I've used a lot of algebra and ratio/proportion so far. It is...

^ That's another good point, if you were 'a kid' under 18, shouldn't the records be sealed? It may be different in different states, but look into your options.

See if you can get it expunged. Look up how many years to get a misdemeanor expunged in your state. If its expunged, you don't have to report it. It'll probably cost you around $500.

I would go the cheapest route -- the MSN will be expensive in the future so you'll want to start w/as little debt as possible. You can also work as an RN while you get your BSN. As someone already...

There are plenty of ways to assemble and practice free speech without getting arrested. My husband works inside one of the buildings targeted by occupy Wall Street, and has been having to listen...

I faced a similar decision, and talked to the nursing department chair at my school who said that if I missed a semester to have a baby, there would be no guarantee there would be a spot for me when...

Really research the CRNA if that is the only aspect of nursing you're interested in, because you'll need at least a year of ICU experience to get accepted into a program (which is another 3 years of...
